DVD Reviews of Women's Health: Train for Your Body Type
DVD Review: Buy this for the cardio alone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all of the Women's Health workouts (I own them all), but this one is fantastic. You're supposed to do the various different segments on different days to train for certain body types, but I usually do all the segments at once, because they are a fantastic total body workout when done together. Every segment impressed me, and was obviously designed to be as effective as possible. You will need some light weights (2-5 pounds) and a mat for this workout.
The good:
--The cardio segment (about 22 minutes) is FABULOUS! It's done in 4 "rounds" (circuits, really), and you do each circuit twice. The exercises in each round are varied in intensity. Inbetween each exercise you are jogging, so you are constantly keeping your heart rate up. This is one of the few cardio segments from a magazine workout that I have that truly gets my heart rate up to 70-80% of maximum and keeps it in that range the entire time.
--The toning segments (upper body, lower body, and abs) are all great, too--very effective moves.
--All the moves are very simple and require little coordination to follow them; however they are very effective!
--High and low impact options/modifications are shown for each exercise.
Needs improvement:
--I wished the toning segments could have been a little longer (they run about 11-12 minutes each)
--Jessica Smith is a good instructor, but is a little "wooden."
The good outweighs the bad here; This is an excellently designed workout that a beginner (using modifications) or an advanced exerciser would enjoy. It is challenging, and it will push you (especially the cardio!). A great buy for your money!
DVD Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars
The cardio is intense...but good. All of the segments are good. My only wish is that they included workouts for more body types...they have 3...I do believe there needs to be a bit more explanation and variety. I didn't see a body type that accurately described me...I am somewhere between 2 of them (my only gripe).DVD Review: It's alright
Summary: 3 Stars
The video is alright. It's not what I expected. Maybe because I'm used to more upbeat instructors. I did the workout yesterday and had to follow it up with another video because I didn't feel like I got a workout.DVD Review: Good Workout, Missing Web Support
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a surprisingly versatile workout DVD and it can be customized almost endlessly. Other reviewers have already done a great job detailing what you're in for with this workout, and I don't have anything to add.
My issue with this DVD, why I did not give it four stars that it should have, is that if you aren't sure of which body type you are, vis-a-vis this DVD, the instructor invites you to go to Women's Health Magazine's website and take their quiz. Since the production of this workout DVD, Women's Health Magazine has re-done their website, and there is no quiz anymore, or if it's there, it's impossible to find. This is not to say your success with this workout DVD hinges on a quiz you can't find to take, but if Women's Health is going to put out workout DVDs and advertise things on their website that are to be used as tools with the DVDs, they should keep these things on their website for longer than a year or so, in case someone buys this DVD a few years later.
Other than this issue, this is a very good workout, especially if you're just getting started!
DVD Review: This is not for the faint of heart....
Summary: 4 Stars
When I pop this dvd in I remember just how old I am. It is a challenge to say the least. It is a good work out and they way you can set up your own workouts is nice.
