DVD Reviews of Hollywood Trainer / Cross Training
DVD Review: Would love a little more cardio for higher caloric burn, but great moves, great instructor, 5 dvds in one!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have over 100 workout dvds so I have much to compare it to whenever I get the fancy to purchase a new one. The price of this dvd was really good so, to be honest, I figured maybe I'd find one or two good pieces I liked on it and it would be worth it. I was wrong. This whole dvd packs a great punch!
CUEING and ease of following along: The best instructors give a great workout but shouldn't require a degree in choreography to follow along. I may work out 6 days a week but I have very low coordination for complicated and rushed steps. Great cueing here which means I kept up the entire time and, therefore, got great cardio into my workout with zero pauses or having to rewind
SCULPTING AND CARDIO: Studies show your best workout will offer cardio to pump up the heart and burn inistant calories but also sculpting so that you build muscle (which continues to burn calories long after a cardio workout does and also increases metabolism via the muscle building which requires more calories to maintain.) Check! This offers both. New to sculpting? No problem. On this dvd her instructions are very clear so you do the moves right for maximum results. An expert already? No problem. She does enough reps that you can up your weights to whatever you wish and get a great workout.
Another bonus? Wanna workout husband and wife team or girlfriend boyfriend? She has a man on the dvd too and suggests weights for him and suggests weight amouonts for women so you can both follow along!
She works various muscle groups very well and sculpting but also provides some cardio as you do it so your heart rate stays up
AND
you also get a kickboxing segment for all-out cardio. Even if you are new to these moves her cueing will allow you to easily keep up . I wish this was longer so that I could do a combo of just cardio sculpting and the kickboxing for more caloric burn(the flat 20 min of cardio if you combine the two doesn't quite hit what it should) ...it's almost enough but a little more would be helpful. Oddly, the kickboxing ends when she says "now lets do squats!' and does one and then it cuts to yoga. So I think it was originally planned to be longer and then edited.
CALORIE BURN: I wear a heart rate monitor so I know first hand how great a workout is for burning the fat. The one will offer good caloric burn but I needed to workout longer than the the 30 minutes I usually do in order to get there. The 20 min of cardio if you just want cardio won't be enough, so plan for about 35-40 min and add in some of her yoga or ab work if caloric burn is your desire here. Not a problem with as many sections as this dvd offers. Even if you just do the warm up, cardio sculpt, and kickboxing and save the other workouts for later you'll get a decent caloric burn; add on a bit more and you have a full workout.
VARIETY: Muscles have memory and if you do the same workout each day your body will adapt and become "good at it" to the point that you actually don't burn as many calories, research shows. The beauty of having this MANY different workouts on one dvd is that you can mix it up so you don't experience this even if you only have one workout dvd or a few. This one has warm up and stretching, cardiosculpt, kickboxing, pilates, flow yoga, pilates, abes and legs, and stretching workouts all on one dvd!
ABS: She chooses moves, even outside of the abs specific workout that allow you to work those abs muscles during cardio and sculpting because of the turn of the body...so while hyou are working your arms and legs in one move, you reach to the side and also work that core. Very smart.
TRAINER PERSONALITY: She is great in this dvd. Warm, comfortable, no nervous giggles or having to forcefully fill the silence with silly phrases. She's a joy to watch. Her outfit is, um, interesting (bikini top and long gogo pants) but I forgive her that because she is one real motivator and perfectly comfortable to follow along her great cueing.
MUSIC: Very varied. Keeps my interest. Goes great with the beat of the moves.
SETTING: outside, nice day. Nice
Caloric burn: B minus for 30 minute workout, A plus total workout
Trainer Cueing: A
Strength: A
Cardio: B plus; would love kickboxing to last a bit longer for more cardio mix
Ability to use if beginner or advanced: A (she will guide you)
Overall Rating: A...If you had to buy one video, this would be a good one. The price was great and there are so many different workouts that you pack a punch into what you get.
One negative: I couldn't seem to pick out just 2 or 3 workouts such as choosing "warm up, cardio, yoga"...you had to forward to the next segment but that's not a real problem for me.
Something humerous to look for although it has nothing to do with the quality of the dvd: In the intro she is wearing a VERY low revealing top with a very obvious "bubbie" job. Then the dvd starts and she has no "bubbies." Apparently the intro was filmed after the video which I found quite funny...though it, obviously in no way, affects my rating. Just thought I'd throw that entertainment your way.
A new favorite for my collection!!
