Customer Reviews

Great workout ;-)
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.

Exercising with the resistance band DVD
This is my first experience with an exercise DVD and I love working with the resistance band while doing exercises. The explanations are cleaar and easy to follow and even though I am 70 years old, I am committed to getting into shape. The exercises are fun and even though I cannot do the floor exercises, I do what I can and feel good about 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.
