Expected a little bit more Date: December 16, 2009
"Although this product is good, I expected a lot more from it. To begin, routines are easy to follow, which is good, but they turn out to be boring even at the first time seeing the video. There are no challenging exercises, I found them too easy and at a very slow pace.

About the weights, it has four bars and for weights (for 2 5lbs. dumbbells) I expected more weights at least 2 to 4 more so it could be augmented on weight. 5 lbs. to me is like picking up a bottle of water.

I will recommend it though to beginners friends, but not for intermediate or advanced, I think a routine @ the gym would be better for that group.

GREAT fitness program!! Date: April 3, 2009
"I stumbled across this kit at WalMart (for <$40!) for less than I would've spent on hand weights alone. TERRIFIC PACKAGE of 4 DVD's with variety (cardio alone; sculpting with weights; cardio fusion with weights; all with warm-up, cool-down, & stretching) & versatility (25-min. "express" versions for when you don't have time for the full 45-min versions!). A video segment + sections in the manual demonstrate a few of the moves separately. (It would have been helpful if some of the complex dance moves were taught separately, too! But I guess you pick that up with enough repetition--I'm only in my 3rd week.) Helpful guidebook gives suggested schedule for using all 4 DVD's in an integrated fitness program, even diet tips & suggested menus. (There are NO supplements INCLUDED in this kit.)
I appreciate instructions for safe posture & execution, & reminders that you can "tone it down" whenever the workout feels too intense. (I'm a female health professional in my 50's, working out regularly for only a year, & doing pretty well keeping up with the young chicks who instruct!) Very enjoyable, comprehensive workout that will sustain my interest for a good while!
