Great toning

"The toning work in this dvd is innovative and fun. Jennifer uses the resistance band in fun ways, and I love the way she works your abs in the standing routine. Much more fun than crunches! My only complaint is that the dance is very hard to follow, and I've pretty much given up trying. It's hip hop influenced, so if you're good at that, go for it. I'm 58, and I'm still trying to learn The Jerk."

Great mixture of dance and toning

""The Ten Minute Solution" is a great format because it really divides the five workouts into totally different styles which is imperative for not getting bored. I'm pretty good with dance choreography, but I could see a beginner having a really difficult time with this. I definitely recommend that you have some experience before trying this DVD.

The "Sexy Slim Down" is a little too slinky for my tastes, but not so sexy that I refuse to do it. It has a lot of fun moves, but I did feel that she didn't have to throw in a "take your clothes off" move. A fun and jazzy, cardio workout.

"High Energy Fat Burner" will really put you to the test as in it Jennifer throws really cardio movements at you pretty quickly. It's very old-school with ponies and surf moves thrown in. A lot of fun and the best workout on the DVD.

"Dancer's Abs" starts off really slow with some slow ab movements, but it gradually builds into a routine. It is NOT bellydancing. It is just movements that focus on the abs, although Jen does have one move she calls the "bellydance move." I use it as my warm-up as the first few minutes are really not cardio.

The "Upper Body Tone Up" uses moves that probably everyone except the true beginner are familiar with. Bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and more is what you can expect. Doesn't really leave a burn, but I still think that it works my arms and chest.

"Buns & Thigh Sculpt" really doesn't just focus on those two areas, but rather your whole lower body. It is pretty basic, and it doesn't make me sore the next day, although I am sure that I am working my legs.

All in all, it is a fabulous workout with Jennifer Galardi that just has a couple of flaws like the fact that there are basically no warm-ups/cool-downs in the cardio segments. I loved it, though, and it's up there in my favorite workouts!"
