 great workout November 1, 2009
Morgan Lindsey (Pelham, AL USA)
This is a great workout for 30 minutes. I am not a big believer in 10 minute workouts, so I do all three together, but they are good separately, too. I especially love the Pilates workout because it is very relaxing. If you do cardio and/or lift weights regularly, it won't challenge you, but it is nice when you only have 30 minutes to be able to pop it in and have a balanced quick workout. Don't be afraid of this if you are a beginner. Freytag is a great teacher.

I love this book. I agree with another reviewer that the routines are very easy to follow, clearly explained, and there's plenty of them to keep you going for some time. Before buying this book, I had been working out for 7 months and lost 35 pounds. I was SO BORED of my exercise routines, and I hit a plateau. After I started doing the 10 minute workouts described in this book, my body started feeling sore again the day after working out... It felt challenged! :) And I feel great. Goodbye, plateau! Worth the money. Buy it.
Feeling fit after 40 May 19, 2008

I'm still working on reading through the book, but the workout DVD that goes along with this book is great!
Three intense 10 minutes workouts on weight training along w/cardio, pilates and kickboxing. Do all three along with the warm-up and cool-down and you get a great 40 minute workout.
When I am short on time, I sometimes just play the kickboxing segment twice and it really gets your heart rate up and break a sweat, one of the keys to weight loss. I also try to include the warm-up and cool-down to avoid injury.
I feel that the workout DVD is worth your money.
Good Ideas May 4, 2008

If you've read diet books in the past, it does have a lot of the same old stuff. The bottom line is eat less, eat healthier and work out. There are no miracle diets. However, this book does give you some great ideas for the time challenged, which I am. I leave the house at 5:40 a.m. and get home about 12 hours later. I have a husband and a 7 year old. There is very little time for me. After reading this book, however, I at least force myself to get in a few minutes here and there. When I get home from work, I figure there's no reason I can't at least do something for 10 minutes. I like weights, and you can accomplish a lot in 10 minutes. Cardio... I'm still working on.
Great Motivating Book! February 13, 2008

This is a great buy! I need to lose 30 pounds but just cannot seem to get myself started or motivated. I was looking for motivation and good solid information presented in a way that I understand and is easy to access and this book definitely fit the bill. I love the layout of the book and the charts that are provided (I am a list and chart person). I have been using them to keep track of my efforts. There is a section on finding time in your schedule to be active which I thought was very helpful. I really like the author's "lifestyle shortcuts" and have been trying to heed her advice and tie her suggestions through my entire lifestyle. There are also photographs of exercises provided that walk you through various exercises and routines-they are very helpful. I think this book is an excellent choice no matter where you are on the fitness spectrum: it is full of great info and who can't use a little extra motivation!
