10 Minute Solution: 5 Day Get Fix Mix [DVD]

As an instructor, Amy is one of my favorites! She usually doesn't mess around - tough workouts are typically her norm. 10 Minute Solution isn't bad, it's just not as high intensity for what I'm used to with her.Five 10 minute segments:- Fat Blasting Intervals- Belly Fat Burner- Lean Body Sculpt- Cardio Kickboxing- Power YogaYou will need 5 lb. weights and a mat (if hard floor). The first two 10 min. sections were a little disappointing. In Fat Blasting Intervals, the weight intervals seemed awfully short, even taking into account it is a 10 minute segment. The cardio intervals are excellent though =) The Belly Fat Burner had some intense moments - she does standing & floor ab work. Again, just not as intense as I was hoping for. I'm wondering if she was preggers when this was filmed....that may help explain some things =)The remaing three segments make this DVD worth buying. Amy does some awesome arm work in Lean Body Scuplt. She also incorporates squats, glute work, and balance in this segment. The Cardio Kickboxing has great combos...these really get your heart rate up! Excellent cardio =) Finally, the Power Yoga. I enjoyed this, it was a nice stretch for the hamstrings, and excellent shoulder work. She seems a little wobbley - but that doesn't affect the effectiveness of this segment!The only thing I think is important to note - if your form is not correct, you will not think this is a good workout. Form is absolutely key in this, otherwise, you may not get much out of the workout. Amy's cueing is right on, and as mentioned by another reviewer, some crazy camera zooming/angles in Belly Fat Burner.Four Stars for this! Great for beginner advanced and up.

I get bored easily with workouts, so the 5-day mix works great for me. I'm not a fan of the Cardio Kickboxing segment (just not my thing), but the rest are great.Amy is a good fitness personality. She's natural on camera and not annoying like some can be.I'm a big fan of the 10-minute solutions because motivation is often a huge barrier. Even I can get myself to commit to just 10 minutes. Then once you get started, it's not so hard to just do another one. Even in just 10 minutes, she packs in a good workout. My first time through a couple of them, I had to pause for a quick rest. She also looks tired and sweaty as she leads you, so that's a good sign.My one caution is regarding cardio. I love this mix mostly for strength and core training. I have yet to find a good, short video that really gives a good cardio workout. Granted I don't like the kickboxing. The interval workout does a decent job for cardio, but it still doesn't compare to something like running. Awhile after I got this DVD, my husband and I broke down and bought a used elliptical. There's just no competing with 10 minutes on that machine to keep the heart rate up.Still, I use this DVD all the time in between elliptical workouts for variety and strength training. Of all the 10 minutes solutions I've tried (about 5 of them), this is the one I bought and like best.

I used to be very active, but over the last several years I have gotten away from exercising on a regular basis. I was looking for an exercise DVD that I could fit into my schedule with two kids. I really like the format of this DVD and the fact that I can pick and choose which segments I want to do. However, there are days when I wish each segment was 20 min instead of 10 because I sometimes feel like just when I'm starting to get a good workout it's over and then you kind of lose your momentum when it transitions to the next segment. I am not as coordinated as I used to be, so the kick-boxing took me a little while to catch on to. This was my first time doing yoga, and have to say I'm not a huge fan of than segment, I usually skip that one and just do my own stretching. I find the instructor motivating and not annoying. I appreciate that she tells you how many reps are left at various points throughout the workout and gives pointers on how to do exercises correctly, suggests modifications if you're unable to do something, as well as after several reps often adds something to make it a bit more challenging. Overall I've really enjoyed using this. Just purchased another in the series of 10 Minute Solutions and am looking forward to giving it a try.

Due to medical reasons... I have not been able to work out for several years, thus leaving me greatly out of shape. I had purchased several workout DVD's to find out that I am more out of shape then I thought, especially with my severe asthma.I came across this DVD and for around $5 thought I would give it a shot... what do I have to loose? Well... I LOVE this DVD. If you do all 5 workouts at once I think that this video would be a decent workout for an intermediate to experience level person. It is great for me because I do one of the 10 minute workouts at a time. This allows me to get a good rest and get my breathing under control. Then later in the day I do another 10 minute workout with the same rest period afterwards. I know these are little steps... but for someone like me it is a great way to get back into shape. Hopefully, in time, I can work up several of the workouts at once... I think this video is a great option for anyone. You can design it to fit your needs. For the price... I say give it a try!

These 10 minute sets are just perfect for working out when you don't necessarily want to do a whole 45 - 60 minute routine. You can choose to do one, all, or a combination of 10 minute sessions of your choice. I find I usually do 4 routines of 10 minutes each. Some at first seem overwhelming, (like the kick box cardio), but after a few tries, you will get the hang of it. I recommend this product. A really good workout.

Wasn't quite what I was expecting.The yoga segment was much faster than I expected, made it a little hard to keep up as a beginner.Some segments were easier to follow than others. I'm a beginner so a little more instruction would have been helpful, all in all a decent DVD and great concept.Might buy more from this series in future.

Good video

Good video, really like the workouts in it

Awesome workout! Especially for those who don't have a lot of time. Clear instructions and all you need is some hand weights and a mat. Great new ab excersises.
