 Format could be much better, but decent workout, 2008-09-04
This DVD has some interesting exercise combinations, but the format leaves something to be desired.
The explanation of each workout should be in a separate intro section. She simply stands during each intro and there is also a lot of standing around between exercises within each workout (every second counts when a workout only lasts 10 minutes).
A separate warm-up and cool-down segment would have been much better than including these in each segment. In one of the segments she has you bending your neck to the sides much too quickly if you are doing these workouts only.
There is no on-screen countdown timer.
The last two workouts are the best if you want a lower-impact workout, and they also have an abs component to them. The other three have much more jumping, squatting, and pivoting, so if you have knee issues or just don't like bouncing around, you will need to modify them somewhat.
As far as the customizing feature, once you got to your last workout choice, you could not just chapter back to any other workout (at least, not on my computer), so you might be better off just hitting "play all", and just chapter forward and back as you wish.
Any of these would be a decent add-on to a shorter workout. As far as whether they stand alone as separate workouts, well, the last two workouts might, but as to the first three, they are comparable to power walking.
3.7 stars.
Good variety and challenging, 2008-08-13
I bought this to have segmented blocks of exercise to add to circuit training and this is a nice DVD for that. I appreciate that each segment is very different from one another and that you can tailor it to you specific fitness level.
Seg 1 is great for getting into the workout mood through steady exercise and heart rate elevation. Advanced fitness types will find that this probably doesnt quiet get them into their HRM but increase the movements and you'll be fine.
Seg 2 has easy to learn/complete kickbox movements. Nothing too fancy but enough to keep your heart rate steady (not really an energizing segment)
Seg 3 has polymetrics, lunges and hops, so if you have bad knees, try alternatives to decrease pressure. Great blast in the middle of the workout.
Seg 4 has good use of interval training but the word bootcamp is a mis-title- nothing boot camp about it .. at least we didnt do this in our bootcamp but none the less it has challenging moves.
Seg 5, 3-5 lbs weights are good for this section or no weights at all are find too.
You have 3-play options: All in order at one time w/o having to manually advance/fwd; Organize your own or play 1-at a time.
 Kick My Booty Workout!, 2008-06-15
Wow!! This is an awesome set of workouts! I've used lots of in home videos and this is the best! I've done walking and dancing and strength training. This is NOT for beginners! Carb and Calorie Burner really lives up to the title! The 10 minute format makes the workouts easy to use no matter how much time you have or don't have! The cues are great and you can program the format so that you may do any combination of the five workouts together.
Amazing workout(s)!, 2008-06-04
This dvd is so awesome. I hate doing cardio, but the way it's broken into 10 minute sections is perfect. Each section done alone is enough to get your heart rate up and a good sweat going, but done together it feels like even more than just a normal 20 or 30 minute work out.
Perfect for beginners too - she leads into every step, and shows modifications for the beginner. I love this workout!!!
10 minute solution is great!, 2008-05-22
This 10 minute solution is really good. Easy to follow up. Really good choise for those who don't have time to exercise.
