A fun and motivating exercise DVD!
Had to buy a second copy, since my first was damaged. I’ve had this DVD in my exercise rotation for at least two years now, and it’s one of my favorites! (9 of the 11 exercise DVDs in my rotation are of Chris Freytag’s.) I’ve tried products from a few other personal trainers, and I really find Freytag’s to be among the very best- most fun, very efficient, and highly-motivating!
I started exercising on a daily basis in 2001, and Chris Freytag was there for me from the start. I even met her at 2008’s PF Chang’s Half-Marathon! (I didn’t know she would be there.) She’s a lovely soul on screen and in person. 🙂

Give Pilates a try!
I have five other exercise videos starring Chris Freytag. I also have videos by other popular instructors. Chris is #1. She is enthusiastic without being perky, motivating and always is clear with her cueing and instructions. I was hesitant to try this video because I’ve never done Pilates. But, Chris makes it easy to follow. I liked the variety of Pilates, Kick-boxing and aerobics and got a good workout. Using weights was challenging, at times, but very beneficial. I’m 52, in pretty good shape and do an exercise video 5 times each week.

Keeps its promise!
Do all three of these toning/cardio segments and you’ll feel it in your muscles and see it in the results! I love the Pilates segment the best but it’s the cardio one that does indeed fatigue the muscles just enough to tell you it’s working. The kickboxing segment is just fun! At first I did them separately, but together they are very effective. In all honesty, you need to do a variety of workouts (and eat properly) to get “BIG Weight Loss,” but adding one of these segments to another cardio workout or doing all of them should work for most folks! I look forward to doing these workouts! If you’re older (nearly 60) like me, stick to 2-3 pound weights.

Three Stars
Arrived quickly, a little harder to follow than her other dvds

Excellent workout
It’s short but very intense. I recommend it mostly to middle-age women in an acceptable-to-decent shape (which best describes me) who want to bring it up a notch (or two). I find it useful to mix it up (not JUST treadmil or JUST eliptical every day) and this DVD definitely breaks the rut (I’ve only done a few times, though).

Not worth the money
Difficult to follow moves. Does not get heart rate up. Waste of money.

This will get you moving
The dvd is broken down to a quick warm-up, a 10 minute cardio/strength workout, a 10 minute pilates workout, a 10 minute kickboxing workout and a quick cool down. Weights are needed for the cardio and pilates workouts. They advise 2 or 3 pounds, but you can also use a heavier weight. If you use a heavier weight, Chris Freytag advises that you will fatigue. She gives good advise and shows “how to” thru out the workouts that a beginner or an advanced exerciser can use. Because the workouts are in 10 minute segments, you don’t get bored and things are definitely moving.

in good shape for my years
I am 61 yrs old, in good shape for my years, exercise regularly with low to intermediate aerobics and floor exercises and hand weights. I find this to be a very good workout. Good cues from instructor with smooth transition to new choreography.
