"I actually didn't care for Debra's first workout, but I thought I'd give her cardio/weight workout a try. I am SOOO glad I did. I love walking workouts, but needed a break from the "walk, walk, walk!" woman, and Debra fits that bill very nicely. Even though I am not overweight, I do want to keep fit, and aerobic workouts with turns and steps just don't work for me ... I end up getting frustrated and quitting. The cardio in this workout is a step up from my "regular leader" (okay, I'll just say it - Leslie Sansone) in that Debra adds some fun steps (mambos and cha-chas; dancey but NOT DIFFICULT!) and uses weights for better upper body work. Debra also has a very encouraging, positive attitude ... something to look forward to in the morning! Plus I LOVE the upbeat music! :-)"

Love Debra Mazda!

"As a long-time Leslie fan who was looking for something new, I had almost given up. I've tried Biggest Loser and several others, but found some of the moves just insane and painful. I'm still overweight, so fast deep knee lunges and some of the other moves that are on DVD's I've tried out are just impossible. Debra has been fat, so she knows how to work out larger bodies very effectively without hurting people. As others have said, she is super motivating. My arms ached after this workout, and according to my heart rate monitor, I was in the fat burning zone for almost half of it -- and that was the short workout! Her DVDs are great bargains because the different 'mixes' section offers shorter and longer workouts, in addition to the basic workout which runs about 35 minutes. I've been walking several miles on an outdoor track and doing Leslie's 4 mile DVD's with jogging - and truthfully, Debra's workouts - when I give her all I've got - has me well worked out and sweaty! Give her a try -- she's upbeat without being preachy or overly chirpy, and motivating without belittling. I'm a beginner/intermediate (according to my coach), so if you fall into this category, you might love Debra too."

Debra's DVDs are worth every penny!

"I own all 4 of Debra's DVDs and this does not disappoint! Doing this DVD for the first time, I actually worked up a good sweat with 3-5lbs dumbbells which really surprised me! I have several Cathe Lifting DVDs and do moderate to very heavy lifting in the gym, but I am growing more fond of "Functional Fitness" vs pure strength. While it's nice to do a Cable Row with 225 lbs, lifting all that weight doesn't do anything for injuries or weak joints that I have. In this DVD Debra works on interval training with a few minutes of weights, separating different body parts with cardio. The strength count and patterns are usually 2 sets of 8 reps followed by 2-3 sets of 8 reps with Super Sets (working two body parts or combining 2 exercises together). She trains everything head to toe with quite a few shoulder exercises which are great for those of us with weak shoulders and/or shoulder-rotator cuff injuries. One crew member even uses ankle weights for added resistance during the entire workout! Her cardio is very basic here, it resembles Leslie Sansone almost with walking-style movements. The music is great and her positive attitude are so inspiring! I absolutely love Debra and I pray that she comes out with more DVDs! This DVD and this series for that matter make you feel strong, empowered, healthy, vibrant, sexy, and confident just the way you are! I highly recommend this DVD for anyone that desires or enjoys more functional fitness while getting in a great sweat! I literally had it running down my back and legs which rarely happens, but Debra makes it happen every time! I'm an intermediate+ Exerciser and Debra is my New "Go-To" Gal and absolute Favorite instructor!"

Even Better ......Debra does it Again !!

"WOW, What can I say ? Only that I just love this Toning with Weights workout.
This is a huge challenge for my arthritic body and I try very hard to do everything on the Video.
After several workouts I am already feeling the benefits of this workout.
I am so happy to have found these feedback forums and been able to purchase these motivating DVD's from the US.
Thanks Debra !!"
