DVD Reviews of The 12 Second Sequence Special Edition DVD Kit: Volumes 1 & 2
DVD Review: longest 2 seconds
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done exercise program. It relies on very slow movements and the holding the maximum stressed position for 2 seconds. That doesn't seem very long until you have done the 3rd rep and are trying to hold that position for the last time. I was amazed that such a slow moving exercise could be aerobic as well. I am just beginning, so the results remain to be seen, but to start with, it is very good.DVD Review: Could have been much better
Summary: 1 Stars
No, it isn't a new concept, but there aren't a lot of "slow-type" workouts widely available on DVD, so there is room out there for good ones. This had the potential to be a really good DVD workout program, but it was not thought out well.
To start with, this should ALL have been on one DVD--talk about a waste of packaging. It could have been done with an interactive mix and match format to keep the workout fresh over time. The third DVD (the "coaching" DVD), you might want to watch ONCE, but if you don't bother, the little booklet that comes with the set has most of what you need to know, with a few recipes in it that are pretty good. The before and after pictures were not all that convincing--some of the improvement seen is due simply to better posture. How many calories you will burn with this workout depends on how much you weigh, so that might be more or less than the "150-pound man" that is usually used to illustrate such concepts.
He didn't need to introduce his exercise person at the beginning of each workout, or remind you to shut off your cell phone, etc., either.
The workouts themselves spent too much time on explanations of each exercise (should have been done in a separate section), and there was too much switching between the dumbbells, a Swiss ball, a mat, a chair, and a broomstick (which didn't really add anything to the exercise it was used in, IMHO). Could have added an exercise or two in each workout if he had you doing all the matwork in one circuit, all the chair work in one circuit, etc.
Too much time is spent mentioning other products he's selling or recommending. If water has calories in it, it is food, not water.
If you need to watch the exercises being done for form pointers, it is okay for that, but borrow from your library or buy used. Hopefully it will be redone in a more user-friendly format.
DVD Review: Good idea, but not good results
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought the DVDs to see if I got better results than following the book. Have not accomplished what Jorge says will happen. DVD Review: Uneven pacing, cueing - too much talking
Summary: 3 Stars
As some other reviewers recommended, get the book and work out with a friend to get a sense of the 12-second duration and where the 2-second hold/pause or MTP is.
Jorge should spend more time counting as you can't "just follow Heather" when in the proper position for many of the exercises, especially those on the FitBall. I'm fairly experienced in high-intensity, slow weight training, and with a FitBall. Getting into place quickly with the appropriate weights is tricky - then craning your neck to see where Heather is on the count is frustrating. It can also be dangerous.
DVD Review: The 12 second sequence...... only for volumes 1& 2
Summary: 3 Stars
I would give this DVD 5 stars, if only it had the entire 8 weeks of his program included!
Volumes 1&2 are only 4 sets of exercises, worth 4 days or only 2 weeks of the program. I didn't understand that. I bought the first Volume separately and bought it again, just so I could get volume 2. I have been training with the same four exercises for several months now hoping he would come out with another couple of exercises,if not the entire program. I guess I'll have to buy the book and forget about a complete DVD.
