It's ok but... 3 out of 5
I heard great things about Amy Bento which is why I decided to give this DVD a shot. I will hold onto it, I like some of the workouts on this DVD, but I was somewhat disappointed.
Pros:
-I like the abs workout-it really BURNS and it's nice to do something other than plain ol' crunches. I felt it after the 10 minutes were up.
-If I want a warmup for more cardio I enjoy the kickboxing workout. It's not intense, but it is simple choreography and a good way to wake up the body before more intense cardio.
-The power yoga is great for a quickie if you want to slip some yoga in your day.
cons:
The circuit training/intervals workout was not enjoyable for me. The cardio bursts got my heart rate up, but the weight sections just didn't feel like I was working anything, regardless of how much weight I used.
Same thing with the sculpting section.
The kickboxing is not enough to really feel like a cardio workout.
On the abs section, some of the standing exercises have too few reps and I felt that the one exercise where you mimick a kettlebell swing with your weight did not have enough instruction or explain how it would be beneficial, seemed pointless to me.
I'll hold onto it for the pros above.
Excellent video! 5 out of 5
Yet another great video from 10 Minute Solutions. The sections are very easy to follow, and the ability to program the segments into any order you want them means you can do as short or as long a workout as you want. Highly recommended!!
Really rigorous! 4 out of 5
This DVD is just what I expected: intensive 10 minute workouts to either get me started or get me to do something better than nothing. It will take a number of go-throughs though to get all the movements down.
Good enough, but... 3 out of 5
I have to be in the mood to workout to Amy Bento. She's a little too cutesy, which translates to her moves as well. The intervals, sculpt, and ab workouts are all very good, and her moves are rather innovative, but there's something about her that... Well, let's just say I can only take her in small doses. And watch out with the kickboxing. If you're into REAL hardcore kickboxing, this will be a huge disappointment. I didn't end up sweating very much, and it was more frustrating than anything else. She tries too hard to incorporate everything in such a short period of time that it would make followers, even those who are intermediate or advanced, susceptible to overexertion and even injury.
Great Workout! 5 out of 5
This is a great workout. I have just started using the 10 Minute Solution DVDs and I really enjoy them. This DVD has a variety of exercises for cardio and strength and toning work. I just finished 40 minutes and I am sweating bullets. Amy does a great job at getting your heart rate up and working all the muscles of the body with a wide variety of exercises. I highly recommend this DVD not only for its workouts but also for the unique 10 Minute Solution option of picking and choosing the segments you want to do each day. My favorite segments are cardio kickboxing and lean body sculpt.
