I liked this DVD. The workout is led by Ellen Barrett (not the model on the DVD cover by the way). I already have some of her crunch pilates DVDs. She is a good instructor that makes the routines easy to learn. This workout is a total body toning workout with dumbbells. It is set on a Mexican beach and she has two other girls working out with her. I recognized one of them as Marie Forleo, the instructor from the Crunch Cardio Dance Blast DVD, which I like. The workout is approximately 30 minutes in length and consists mainly of combined upper body work with leg squats and lunges. There are some standing abs exercises as well. I used both 3 and 5 pound weights depending on how easy the moves were for me. There is a bonus 5 minute pilates abs segment in the menu as well. She uses weights during the last two exercises in this segment. This workout got my heart rate up from all the continuous movement and I'm sure has cardio benefits, but like Ellen recommends on the workout, you will need to use this DVD along with some regular cardio exercise and a healthy diet to see the promised results in 4 week. But it's a good fairly quick workout to target your entire body whether you are going to be in a bikini soon or not. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)

I started doing this after I hadn't done much strength training in a few years. It's probably not challenging enough for more advanced athletes, but it was a good place for me to start.
