DVD Reviews of Women's Health: Perfect Body Workout
DVD Review: Great cueing and measured high for calorie burn
Summary: 5 Stars
CALORIC BURN: First I'll touch on the caloric burn of the dvd because that's, after all, the biggest need I have in a fitness dvd. I workout daily to a large library of exercise dvds that I've collected over the years in order to keep it interesting and new with varied trainers, sets, music, and routines that challenge different muscles. I measure the caloric burn of a dvd by wearing a bodybugg which tells me not only how many calories I burn per day, but also during a workout including how many calories are burned per minute during that workout. I mention this only so you know what I say is based upon scientific measurement rather than perceived exertion. The calorie burn was very high on this dvd with one of the higher measures of caloric burn per minute from my collection.
But better yet, I didn't feel "wiped out" by doing it. It was energizing and many of the moves were unique.
ROUTINES INCLUDED: The dvd contains 3 different workouts, a high energy cardio with some fun sports-based moves (dont let that scare you off...I was picked last for p.e. teams during my entire childhood and couldn't do a sport aside from skiing, watersports, and iceskating to save my life)...but it made it fun to move three steps than lunge foreward with a raquetless hand as though swiping a ball. In all honesty this was similar to a kickboxing move with the same upper and lower body cardio results...but was fun and new to learn within the routine. Also during the warm up to do a tai chi move called "moving water"...just new things I'd never done before in spite of this being my primary method of fitness...moves with the backstroke as in swimming are another example...I like that. Fu with good results. Also it has a strength training and balance session and then the next segment is strictly for core and abs.
CUEING: She's a pro at cueing. She reaaaaally ensures you know just what's coming up and that you get the steps down with your feet before hand movements are added in during the aerobics.
MUSIC;The music is some of the best I've heard as far as being in sync with the routine. It moves to the beat of the movement but then when the instructor starts going faster and into a more rigorous part of the routine the music is more dramatic too...I felt this was energizing and I noticed it.
MUSCLES WORKED: the moves picked in just the cardio portion (aside from the strength session) were well thought out including many standing ab moves via twists etc so that you work out upper, lower, body and good core while burning mega calories in cardio...well thought out for utmost caloric burn.
SET: the set is, or is made to look like, it's back stage of a theater.
INSTRUCTOR TEAM: there is a back up team of all shapes and sizes which is nice.
TRAINING STYLE: Amy Dixon has a good combo for a trainer...she's tough but warm rather than tough but annoying. She pushes you hard yet you LIKE her and she truly seems to enjoy what she's doing.
CONCLUSION: this is one I frequently recommend.
NEGATIVES: Some might not like the background shouts of "yeah!" "wow!" etc. I usually hate these in some videos I have because they seem so dang fake and rehearsed but just for me I didn't feel that way in this one...not sure why...maybe because they seemed genuine and weren't so frequent as to bug me and were done after you were pushed hard and kinda felt the same thing. Still, if you want low key know that they are there because you might not like that.
ALTERNATIVES: Similar to Amy Dixon's other workouts if you like those or, if you haven't tried them and like this one you should like them, you might also like Jillian Michaels Lose Fat Boost Metabolism dvd as well if you like this one. It's another strong calorie burner (actually it burned a bit more) and really covers all muscles too but she isn't as condescending in this new dvd as she was in some others she did where she also had odd nervous laughter. She finally seems comfortable and offers great energy and motivation in that one. Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt with Violet Zaki was another recent one I found that has similar attributes, good burn and good instruction too.
