"This is another fantastic workout from 10 Minute Solution. There's no excuse for not doing some form of workout when there are these kinds of workouts on the market. This particular dvd is really good and will definately help to get rid of your trouble zones.
Each of the segments uses a resistance band to help you sculpt various areas of your body - you get a 6 foot band with the dvd. When you change your hold on the band, you get different intensity with every move you do. You can make up your own routine by mixing up the order in which you play this. There is the usual upper body, lower body, abs, arms and shoulders and a complete body segment. Amy is a brilliant instructor who is enthusiastic and encouraging, but not annoying. She cues really well and that just makes this whole workout that much better.
If you are short on time, then this is for you. You can do either 10 minutes alone or join a couple of segments together to get a longer workout. You will have to combine this with some cardio, but I can't recommend this highly enough because of the fun factor and the fact you can fit this in on any day. I love it."
Love It!!!!!!!

"Although I have been an avid Amazon shopper for nearly 10 years, this is the first time I felt inclined to write a review. I love this DVD. I love that you can customize your workouts (i.e. Monday: Thighs and Butt, then Upper Body), Tuesday Upper Body, Ten Minute Stretch, etc.) to fit your specific needs and time frame. I usually add one ten minute session to the end of a cardio workout (walking, biking), and helps to rev up my metabolism even more! Amy is so great! She is very motivating - it seems like she is right there in the room with you encouraging you not to stop. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was that there is not a lot of explanation of the moves, and she moved quickly from one move to the next...likewise, it may be a bit challenging for some beginners. To help with this, I would suggest watching it a few times through before trying it for yourself."
Transitions require more time to align band

"I own several 10 minute solution dvds, that I truly enjoy doing. The
tone trouble zones, was a bit disappointing as she moves from one position to the next too quickly and it was difficult to get the band and posture right. I had to replay each segment twice in order to get the correct alignment of the band and enough reps to feel the work.
Not a bad workout, just not as effective as the other dvds that I've tried from this collection. I recommend the pilates and kickboxing workouts from 10 minute solution."
Great workout

"I really liked this DVD. The moves really work the targeted muscle and I feel my arms are more toned doing this DVD versus free weights. It also gets your heart going. I burned approximately 250 calories doing the entire DVD (according my my heart rate monitor).
Minus one star because she moves into the next moves quickly and it can tricky to do at times with the band. But once you get used to the sequence it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, once this starts getting easier you MUST buy a higher-resistance band because the one provided is light. Your workout will definitely get harder!!!! That's the point of resistance bands."
