DVD Reviews of Lindsay Brin's Boot Camp 2DVD Review: lindsay brin is awesome Summary: 4 Starsall her workout videos are grat. this is wpnderful b/c they are about 20min and really work the middle: where after having a baby is where i need most of my workout so awesome!!
DVD Review: Choppy Summary: 3 StarsI ordered this DVD based upon the rave reviews. The DVD has some EXCELLENT exercises: roundhouse kicks, elbow jabs, running squats, plies and so forth, but the DVD feels choppy.
Even when you choose "quick start" off the menu, the DVD breaks up the segments in such a way that the DVD doesn't seem fluid. Also, Lindsay stops in the middle of routines and explains positions, offers dieting advice, and so forth.
Because the DVD is so choppy, I plan to use some segments as add ons to TOTAL BODY WORKOUT by Jennifer Nicole Lee.
ALSO, there is no music or enthusiastic beats. If you think that 30 minutes will fly by on this DVD, you are sorely mistaken. It's like being in a quiet room, listening to an instructor, and doing exercises--not motivating at all.
Another issue I have is her abs. Her abs are FLAT but the stomach makeup and the position of her pants makes the abdomen looks like it is bulging. I hope she corrects that in future videos.
Update (9/23/2008):
My problems with the DVD stemmed from the "create a workout" option. Once I chose weeks and modified the routine in those weeks I was able to get a good fluid workout.
For instance, I use either 5-6 or 7-8 and, if the exercises are too easy or too hard, I go to the menu and choose different workouts. As it stands, I do the following workout:
Warmup
Core #5 or 6
Cardio #5 or 6
Cooldown with yoga
Altogether, my workout is about 25 minutes and I am exhausted and sore after the workout.
If your abs are strong, start at a higher level core and cardio.
Update (10/03/2008):
The DVD IS choppy. She doesn't even tell you when you are finished with a segment; she just stops and starts talking or doing something else. Also, in the intro, she states that she devised this program because pregnant moms TOLD HER what they needed in terms of fitness. I personally don't understand why a woman who hasn't been pregnant would focus on pre and post pregnancy fitness.
Update (10/13/2008):
I see that on April 1, 2008, Brin posted a utube video showing her 8.5 months pregnant so I guess the test will be whether or not she will be able to keep THOSE abs after actually having a baby. I look forward to seeing the post-real pregnancy workouts.
DVD Review: Great way to get back into shape! Summary: 5 StarsThis DVD is perfect for getting back into pre pregnancy shape. What I really like about Lindsay is her focus on the pelvic floor. This is key to a flatter belly. I wish I had know this ten years ago - if you are quad dominant (which I was) you tend to neglect the pelvic floor and ab muscles.
The total workout time is around 25 minutes long if you do the warm up, core, cardio and cool down. The 10 minute cardio segments are pretty intense. I was a bit hesitant before purchasing this since there weren't many reviews. This DVD surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend it! I have a three month old and have been using this for two months, I love it and am 5 lbs away from returning to my pre preg. weight.
DVD Review: Thanks, Lindsay! Summary: 5 StarsAfter gaining over 50 pounds with my pregnancy, I never thought that I would fit into my pre-pregnancy size 10 pants again. After I got the doctors's ok four weeks after my baby was born, I started doing Boot Camp every other day. I now weigh less than I ever have and I am wearing size 4 pants! The DVD is easy to use because you can pick and chose from the 10 minute workouts. The toning sections have done wonders to my abs and arms. This is a great DVD to get back in shape after baby! :)
DVD Review: AWESOME WORKOUT! Summary: 5 StarsI am a huge fan of any DVD's Lindsay Brin creates. This is a summary of my success with her videos- when I got married, I weighed 115. After my first baby, I couldn't get below 128. (I ran and worked out like crazy trying to lose my baby weight). I heard about these DVD's after my second baby and after 6 months, I was down to 106 lbs (which is a great weight for my 5'2" height)! I haven't been in this great of shape since my freshman year of high school!!!! I never imagined losing this much weight and never actually intended to! It just happened as I did her DVD's three times per week. The BootCamp 2 DVD is great and I love it. It has several workouts to choose from and includes core exercises, cardio, and toning (all of which are crucial for weight loss; as is changing your workouts- which she gives you so many options, you can change often). So worth $20! I would've paid $100 to get the results I had been waiting 2 1/2 years to get!!!! You can't go wrong buying this. It's a fantastic workout that continues to challenge me after months of using it!!
