DVD Reviews of 15-Minute Workouts for Dummies
DVD Review: Awesome workout for oldies and newbies to fitness
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this DVD. I consider myself to have very high standards for workouts and DVDs and very few get the cut in a high rating. This DVD is challenging enough for a person who has been working out for years, yet simple enough for someone who is just starting out. Here are my thoughts on the positives:
*One of the great things about this DVD is that you don't get bored. Gay will combine 2 or 3 exercises into one which makes the workout quicker and you get less bored. (Ex, combining front raises with lateral raises.)
*You get just enough of a rest in between certain reps to allow you to do more. For example, on the squats, you do 2 in a row, shuffle to the left or right and do 2 more. This way you get a 1 or 2 second rest and are able to do considerably more squats than you could alone.
*She only has you do 10-15 of each exercise. This is great because, especially on the ab workout, it is completely do-able. You know ahead of time you only have to do 10 so it makes it so much easier to do all ten vs. a trainer who has you do 20 or 25 of an exercise.
*The ab workout is amazingly challenging yet completely do-able. I have never been able to do a complete ab workout with any DVD. I have always needed to rest; yet on this DVD, I could do the entire thing. I felt completely challenged.
*The ab moves are totally new. Half of them I have never heard or seen, which actually made them FUN! I actually look forward to some of the ab moves!
There are a few negatives that pop into my head for this DVD.
*The leg workout does not include anything but the thighs. No hamstrings or calves.
*The warm up is incredibly hard to follow. I skip over it and warm up on my own for 10 minutes before jumping in.
*There is no cool down whatsoever. After each mini workout, Gay has you stretch for about 30 seconds. After working that hard, it would be such a reward to get to spend 5 minutes cooling down and relaxing.
*While the pop ups are incredibly cheesy and annoying, they also provide a nice distraction, so I would consider them a neutral point.
I could go on for several more points, but the basic sum up is this is a great DVD. A beginner could for sure do this workout, just with very light weights, and an oldie could easily get challenged and continue to get challenged. While it does have a few flaws, these are easily overlooked and do not in anyway take away from the positives.
