Three great workouts for complete fitness. May 28, 2006

This set includes (3) great video workouts for complete fitness. The first is Total Body Workout. This 60 minute routine focuses on strength training by using body weight calisthentics. After a brief warm-up and stretch, exercises are conducted for the chest, neck, abdominals, legs, and back. These are simple, no nonsense exercises that are remarkably effective. The only piece of equipment that will be needed for the video series is a pull-up bar. I have every Navy SEAL fitness tape available and I rate Scott Helvenston's workouts as some of the best. In fact, Total Body Workout is probably the best strength routine of the bunch. It effectively targets all the major muscle groups.
The second video is Ultimate Aerobic Workout. It is a fast paced 35 minute routine that combines strength training with cardio conditioning. It is guaranteed to have you gasping for air. Most aerobic programs are usually only lower body intensive. This workout is unique in that it also includes strength training for the back, chest, abdominals, and legs.
The third workout video is AB Blast. This is a short 15 minute abdominal routine. It is an intense gut busting workout that will definately strengthen your core.
The three workouts are conveniently formated for beginners, intermediates, and advanced. It is simply a matter of following along with the demonstrator for your particular fitness level. The production quality is good with plenty of precise instruction. Helvenston is in excellent physical shape and is a motivating example. I recommend all of his workouts for those wanting to achieve a higher level of fitness. Check out the Navy SEAL Training Camp series with the Strength, Stamina, and ISO Workouts. These are available separately in VHS and as a set on one DVD.
(My sincere regards to the Helvenston family for their loss. Scott lived and died the life of a warrior.)
 A challenging and effective workout. April 7, 2005

All in all, I found this video to be helpful and extremely challenging. Scott fullfills his promise to provide a total body workout and introduced me to a few new exercises along the way. There are 2 other participants in the video, a male doctor and a female physical therapist, who complete the moves at an intermediate and beginner level. As one would expect, Scott performs at the advanced level - a level I haven't achieved yet in this program!
Truly, I have a whole new respect for the Hell that those guys go through. I was unable to do 2 of the advanced moves, but I could accomplish all of the beginner moves and *most* of the intermediate.
Exercises include: traditional, military pushups (done at a brisk pace *wheeze!*), tricep pushups, "divebomber pushups" (an exercise I haven't mastered yet), neck rolls, calf raises, lunges and squat thrusts (Have mercy!), a variety of abs moves, and pullups (or bent over rows if you're a beginner).
This routine uses your own body weight for resistance and the only optional piece of equipment needed is a pullup bar or a bar bell.
Kara's Tip: If you're new to pullups or unable to do them using your FULL body weight, try using a broom handle and 2 chairs, instead. Position the chairs so that the seats face each other. Lie down between the 2 chairs and place the broom handle on the seat cushions above you. You can do 1/2 pullups this way and strengthen the muscles in your arms.
It should be noted that this video was filmed outdoors on a beach, so the sound quality is poor at times. Scott also stumbles through his words occasionally and adds a rep or two by accident, so don't expect perfection from this. His form and advice are without fault, and that was what mattered most to me.
Wow Scale: 8 (out of 10)
Difficulty: Intermediate - Advanced
Studio setting: a pleasant beach
A True Total Body Workout that Works! April 2, 2005

Using this set of videos, tayloring what parts I do to my abilities (at first I could only do 1/2 of the cardio and would end up with my head between my legs, swearing I was going to faint), I have worked off 76 pounds, leaving me with about 25 more to go. This is no fluff video. 76 pounds later and I'm still at the beginning level! (Actually, I recently graduated to intermediate abs.)
I especially like the fact that I do not need a bunch of gym equipment. Doing a push-up with 100 extra pounds on me was pleanty of resistance (smile). The first time my elbow slammed into my knee during a set of sit-ups (bruising it no less) I was estatic!
If you're serious about working off pounds and/or toning up, this is the video for you. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to look and feel better at 40 than I did at 30. My husband and I use these tapes to work out together and both of our physical fitness needs are met at the same time.
Don't give up on yourself an keep doing it and before you know it the pounds will start melting off.
Don't Quit And This Routine Will Pay Off October 24, 2004

This video may seem boring to some with the canned music but the routine is what counts. If you are willing to stick it out you will get results pretty quick, in my case a few months. I started these tapes at 34 yrs old and am in excellent shape at a nice ripe 37, much better shape than my mid twenties. Older guys can do this! These routines will be difficult at first but will get easier over time. They will give you a great basic workout that is easy to remember and right to the point. In 4 weeks you'll see the muscles building and in two months you will be impressed with the progress you make and the energy level boost you get. If you appreciate the lean muscular military body look this will help get you there, if you eat healthy you will really tone up fast. Start off every other day and eventually work up to a daily routine. You can do these excercises in a relatively small space and they keep you in shape during the winter months. The biggest part of this is not quitting and staying on a regular schedule. This is the stuff we grew up with - finally workout videos for the guys! The only easy day was yesterday.
