1) not good at all! [Rating: 1 out of 5]
this was not fun...the music was not what they showed either...BEWARE OF BEACH BODY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! They even told me I had to send back the free things (tape measure and some piece of paper) or they would not give me a full refund! I later ordered p90x later and had to wait 15 min. on phone to have an automated voice tell me they "can't take my call due to high call volume" and then hung up. So I had to go to "live chat" and start in line at #28 for an hour for the operator to tell me they can't find me in the computer and try back tomorrow. Good luck!2) Tiring but works!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The first day i recieved this, i was tired to hell. There is a 30 min workout on here and it is tiring as hell. I could hardly breathe after doing it. i thought i would die and i am not a fat girl at all. i am just trying to get rid of my little gut. i am 21 and am trying to keep my size. If you are looking for something that will work, this does!!!3) never do another situp [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was really excited about this dvd. I packed on some college pounds and have only recently begun trying to get in better shape (toning and slimming) and am new to the world of exercise dvds. I tried at first to just sort of make up exercise-y things on my own but decided I needed some structure as I'm pretty lazy. I found running too monotonous and gym memberships too pricey. So I started turning to dvds I could do in the privacy of my own home whenever I wanted. I have a pilates dvd I like, but I needed to do more cardio. I looked for three things mainly. A good instructor, manageable segments, and something fun. I started out with regular aerobic dvds, which I hated since they bored me to tears. Then I tried tae bo since it looked like fun, didn't like that. Billy Blank's is sort of all over the place. Horrible cueing, uneven moves, off count, ugh. Then I saw an infomercial for this dvd and just knew it'd be a good all around workout to get you moving, get the heart pumping, break a sweat, and have fun at the same time. I definitely heeded warnings about going through the company, and wasn't about to pay 60 bucks anyway, so I came here. My main complaints with exercise dvds have been: annoyingly perky chicks, bad music, complicated moves, too long for a beginner, or just boring. I avoided all of those with this dvd. Shawn is a great teacher. He's really funny (and adorable) and makes the moves really simple before speeding up. I've got to say my favorite feature is the countdown bar. Not only does it countdown the entire workout, but each section as well. I find this very helpful as many a time, I've just given up in the middle of a tape with no idea how much was left. But having a constant reminder that there's only x minutes left is great incentive. I also like that each workout is about a half hour. You can do one, or as many as you like and it's all very convenient for any busy schedule. Now, while I anxiously put in one workout the second I got it, I wanted to write a review after doing all of them. The first, fat burning cardio is my favorite. It's about 30min and the pace is really good for a beginner. The breaks are in all the right places and Shawn doesn't begin to throw in any difficult moves. There's a move breakdown on the dvd I accidentally ignored, but managed to keep up nonetheless and got it after one viewing. The more used to this routine I got, I began to pair this half hour workout with the 20 or so min. sculpt routine on the second disc (wish these two were on the same disc but that's ok). Then the last workout is a total body workout about 40min which really gets you sweating. Great all around content. Note, it may be helpful if you're physically able, to add light wrist weights to your workouts once you get the routines down. Nothing too heavy. But I really just love the production of these workouts. I also just bought TurboJam since they're by the same company and seem very similar in production style (including the countdown bar, dance atmosphere, and fun music). Can't wait to begin alternating these workouts with TJ workouts for a nice month of constant variety.4) Everybody should buy it!!! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
yes, I lost 10 pounds in two weeks and I feel more confident now. I feel sexy and beautifull. I work out twice a day ,two thirty minute. And the resutls are terrific. I know how I spent those dollars.All my friends are now working out with Shaun-T. My mom, my sister, my sister in law, everybody at home do it. I am Happy...5) UNSAFE AND NOT FOR BEGINNERS [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Any kind of safety modifications for beginners is glaringly absent. The "Abs" section is the best of the worst, with the cardio workouts being too fast, too hard to follow, and with absolutely no safety tips at all. I've been a physical therapist and aerobics teacher for 15 years and Beach Body deserves a great big thump on the head for not going a little bit further to make this product safe for ALL levels. Skip this overhyped white elephant and buy something from Kathy Smith or Karen Voight to get a good workout without injury.
