Enjoyable beginner workout 3 out of 5
I purchased this and several other DVDs to use in the winter when I can't get outside for my preferred workouts. I consider myself to be in above average, but not stellar condition for a 44 y/o woman. The workout is fun. The mountain scenery is stunning. Tanja is very pleasant and explains the moves well. The toning segments touch on most major muscle groups. The problem is that the workout is too easy for me. It is a mix of very short cardio intervals, toning, & stretching. The problem is that the cardio is too interrupted for true cardio benefits. I definitely am not even approaching my target heart rate, much less for the recommended 20-30 minute minimum. I don't even break a sweat. That said. This would be a great starter workout for a young to middle aged sedentary person just starting to exercise. Many senior citizens would find the workout to difficult. awesome work out! 5 out of 5
i love this workout! i am a runner and a gym-goer, but live in denver, so snow becomes an issue at times. my gym is a 15 minute walk from my house, so i make sure i have enough equipment at my house so that i can still get a work out without having to brave the snow! if you have a fitness ball, this video is a must. its gets you nice and sweaty, and my arms were sore the first time i used the video. so nice to know i have an great workout at home if its difficult to be outside. Great for cross training! 5 out of 5
I am a marathoner and triathlete who trains very hard for multiple events each year. This workout is great for low impact cardio and balance cross training. I use this DVD during my "recovery" phase of training, but it really does get my heart and muscles going. Tanja is a great instructor. I'm going to purchase more of her DVD's. I love Tania 5 out of 5
There is something about Tania's personality that makes working out a pleasure. Not sure what it is. She makes you sweat but you don't even notice it. This is another great video of hers. I think I'll buy more. Love it! 5 out of 5
This is an excellent cardio workout DVD. I would consider myself a beginner, but I feel that this workout is perfect for any level of fitness and expertise. It's not difficult to follow, but also doesn't move too slowly. It provides an excellent workout and really makes me feel as though I'm accomplishing something. Tanja, the trainer, is the perfect mix of supportive, energetic, and not annoyingly in-your-face. I usually do the 30 minute workout, but there are also excellent 50 and 10 minute options depending on how much time you have. Both the 30 and 50-minute workouts feature a cardio section and a strength training section, so it's a well rounded DVD.
