 Great Workout! September 4, 2008
I have been exercising regularly for quite some time now. I've done Tae Bo and other routines but this DVD is the only one that has actually improved my muscle tone.
Has options to do a "cardio" workout (20 minutes) and/or 3 different "toning" workouts (about 15 minutes each). So you can do as little or as much as you'd like!
I agree with other reviews that the modifications for beginners are essentially non-existent. Best suggestion is to just walk in place or something like that until you catch your breath. The good news is, the more intense intervals don't last that long and you always get at least 15 seconds to recuperate in between. Just amazing what these brief periods of exercise have done for my overall body tone!!!
Worth the $.
Outstanding! September 2, 2008
So far, I've lost 15 of the 20 pounds my Doctor wanted me to lose. This DVD is one of the best! Easy to do and enjoyable, -- it works.
My advice is to buy it right now.

Very Informative August 17, 2008
It gives great insight on how to go about the process of the South Baech Diet.
 Good substitute August 14, 2008
I think it is a good dvd. I will probably only use it when it is just too hot to get out or raining. I think I would rather do the interval walking outside. Also, the book wants you to work up to 3 sets of 8 with the ab and resistance workout, which the dvd does not do. It is a good dvd and does all of the exercises in the book. I feel that you can't go wrong by purchasing it. It is good to have for everyday or to use as an alternate to your regular plan.
Put Me into Better Shape Than When I Was 22 in 6 Weeks August 12, 2008

I have never enjoyed exercise, but I can tolerate it for about 15 minutes. When I read the new book, The South Beach Diet Supercharged, I was intrigued by the claim that I could lose weight faster by the right kind of interval exercise. Why not?
I was concerned that many of the exercises in the book seemed designed for human pretzels rather than those with back problems (like me). I decided to get the DVD and see if I could do the exercises.
Realize that the workout is only half of the South Beach Exercise plan. You alternate the workouts with walking days. Those walking programs are described in The South Beach Beach Diet Supercharged book.
There's good news and bad news.
The good news is that I was able to do the exercises just fine without injuring myself or getting bored. I've now finished 11 weeks, and I'm in maintenance mode on the exercise.
I gained a lot of fitness very quickly. I'm in better shape today than at any time since I was 21. It was very impressive to me.
My appearance gets lots of compliments. I look about 12 pounds lighter than I am.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that the workouts made me much hungrier than I usually am. My weight loss has really slowed down. I've only dropped five pounds in 11 weeks.
I suspect that part of the reason is that I've converted a lot of fat into muscle.
But if your reasons to go on a diet are to be healthier and to look better, this program works great. But don't expect to look like a young Twiggy when you are done.
If you are a woman, you'll probably find this program tougher than I did. My wife was moaning over the arm exercises which I found to be quite easy. She also found the walking harder than I did.
If you are a man, you'll be amused by the DVD's references to making your shoulders look pretty for a dress and directions to "Get going, ladies."
But whatever works is good.
I plan to stick with this exercise program and the diet.
