At a time when we know so much about choosing safe, effective exercises, reissuing Cindy Crawford's 1992 best-selling disaster, Shape Your Body, is inexcusable. Swimsuit-clad Cindy puts herself through flings and gyrations that show off her body but aren't any good for anyone else's. She presents one after another of the exercises that fitness professionals threw out of their routines two decades ago because they're ineffective and risky to back and joints. Her alignment is awful; her control nonexistent. She rounds her back and flings her leg into high kicks. She does squats letting her knees go way past her toes. Even when the exercises are decently chosen and performed, she does them much too quickly, relying on momentum instead of muscle power, such as two-second bent-over rows. Trainer Radu, who designed and coached this workout, should be sentenced to an eternity of fast donkey kicks, leg swings, and trunk circles. This "toning" video would be a joke, except that you really could get hurt following it. In fact, when Shape Your Body first came out, fitness expert Peg Jordan, author of Fitness Instinct, appeared on CNN warning viewers about the risks of this video. "I received a call from a chiropractor who had treated 12 patients' back injuries from that video alone!" she recalls. If you've got to have this one, watch it only, don't do it. --Joan Price

1) Wonderful! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I purchased the VHS version of this workout video when it first came out around 15 years ago and used it then to take off 30+ pounds and continued to use it throughout the years when I needed to get back into shape. After having a child two years ago and one three months ago, I needed to lose lots of weight again and found that I had finally worn out my VHS version and bought this DVD on Amazon. I have currently lost 31 pounds and will continue to lose more with this DVD's help in the next few months. Would recommend this DVD to anyone who wants a full body strengthening workout!2) Use with caution [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I used this exercise routine for a few years before I realized it was aggravating a hip problem to the point that I had to have a hip replacement at age 40. I didn't realize the pain I was having was caused by these exercises, until I stopped doing them. She moves too fast and has terrible form. Most of the exercises are great, I love the ab workout, but beware of the hip and leg movements. I learned too late the damage it can cause.3) Results! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is an old exercise program. I've been using it for years. Now I bought the DVD because I don't own a VHS anymore. It has helped me throughout the years to tone and reduce inches when combined with a balanced diet. I know it works so I stick to it. It's challenging. I have to go bit by bit until I can do all the repetitions. I've purchased many exercise videos and DVD's but this one always does delivers.4) Shape Your Body Workout Does It! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I started doing this workout in February. Everything she suggests is do-able for someone who doesn't do anything (like me) for exercise. I love that the workout focuses on so many areas. I just lost 30 pounds and wanted to get moving to keep it off -- I love that this dvd allows me to do that. It's 40 minutes of work for the workout I do. I try to do it about 2x a week and she kicks my butt everytime.5) Not your mamby pamby workout [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Most workouts seem to be more worried about everything but giving you a good workout. Of course if you do not use good common sense you can hurt yourself but if you pay attention to yourself you can get a top notch workout. I like her "Next Challenge" better but usually do not have the time for all that.You may want to build up to Cindy's workouts though, I used Mr Loud (aka Tony Little) as I was very out of shape again. I mix them up, both of Cindy's real workouts, not her last one!!, with Gilead's ABS workout and Tony's Advanced Body Shaping to get myself in shape...This video is great on DVD as you can choose a short workout or one of two longer workouts. Highly recommended to anyone not prone to self destruction and injury, otherwise use at your own risk...
