 Not the greatest October 8, 2007

Although this workout has a great outdoor setting, it was far from being one of my favorite workouts. The instructor wasn't very likeable and the workout wasn't very intense. It includes a lot of moves requiring you to do a significant amount of balancing (The instructor, in fact, keeps bringing this to your attention throughout the workout - telling you that if you lose your balance to keep trying it. Unfortunately, if you frequently lose your balance, you also lose the benefit of the exercise.) I made through about 25-30 minute of this dvd and then gave up on it. The next day I didn't even feel anything from it, whereas just 10 minutes of some of "the 10 minutes solution" segments were far more effective. I'd recommend one of those instead.
Didn't Meet Expectations August 13, 2007

I ordered this after reading the great reviews and also because I wanted something specifically to work my legs. Unfortunately, I found it quite boring. Though lots of repititions can be key to success with working the legs, I have done other with a few less repititions and significantly more of a burn. Did end up sweating a bit and the instructor is pretty cute with her Australian accent, but my favorite strength and cardio workout video remains Cindy Crawford's Next Challenge Workout.
 Best workout in a while August 6, 2007

If you can do squats and lunges, this is the workout for you. I have issues with my knees but when they don't bother me, doing this workout makes you sweat. If you're advanced, you'll still love it because it's a great cardio workout too.

I bought this dvd because I have thoroughly enjoyed Violet's workouts on Comcast on Demand. This one really put me to the test. I have been working out for a while - mostly Pilates and some weights but needed to step up my game. Well, I found it in this dvd. This is one of my three favorite exercise dvd's - the others being Mina Lessig, Tank Top Arms . . . and Pilates Sculpt with Tracy Work and partner. Once in a while I drag out Winsor Pilates Bun and Thigh Sculpt when I really don't feel like exercising.
One of the best! June 25, 2007

I tend to buy exercise DVDs based on totally exaggerated expectations and "blurred" reality and am quickly disappointed......until now!
I found this DVD accidentally and have to admit it's one of THE best cardio/leg DVDs I have ever done! I continue to feel motivated and each time I can push myself a little longer. Violet does an excellent job at stressing quality over quantity...going slower and doing the movements deliberately provides better results than quickly going through the motions just to get them over with. You also decrease the incidence of injury and strain by concentrating on each movement.
Another 'bonus' is that Violet incorporates a few minutes of stretching after strenuous reps which I find REALLY helps w/recovery. I don't feel like my muscles are going to cramp in the evening after the workout. I feel that I am not only developing stronger and toned legs and glutes, but leaner, limber muscles as well.
I have been doing Winsor pilates advanced up until now and really didn't feel challenged. I certainly do now! Now I just supplement with Winsor on days that I want to give myself a break.
I look forward to doing this DVD! It's actually fun!
