Tone It Up! One Day Fat Blast

I absolutely love this DVD! After reading the reviews, I thought the workouts would be way too easy for my intermediate/advanced level - wrong! Each move is done for 50-60 seconds and completed twice so you WILL feel the burn and you WILL sweat!Katrina and Karena's instruction is very conversational and their playful banter makes you feel like you're working out with your girlfriends. They each take turns demonstrating the moves while the other one explains form. You can tell Katrina is more comfortable in front of the camera and it shows in her delivery. I thought she was more knowledgeable as far as the specific muscles each exercise was working and her cueing was more on point than Karena's - when Karena was leading I was constantly glancing up at the TV because her instructions weren't clear enough to allow me to just focus on doing the moves.There are two workouts and they are each about 30 minutes. Workout #1 is a full body interval-based workout - burpees, lunges with and without weights, jump squats, planks, plank jacks, reverse flys. Workout #2 focuses on the abs and glutes and uses no weights - high knees, oblique crunches, backward lunges, tuck jumps, plié curtsy lunges, plank side hops, seated bicycles, bridge with a leg adduction, side plank raises, etc.Overall this is a very good workout and my new favorite.

I really enjoyed this workout. I have a large collection of exercise DVDs and this one was refreshing to do. The banter between the two women was amusing, and I felt like I was working out right along side them. The exercises were fun to do with a variety of easier and tougher moves. This workout varies between doing weights and lunges and then some cardio bursts, which were challenging but not too hard.I give it 4 stars instead of three just because I wish the workout was a little smoother and kept the intensity up the whole time. It was in parts just a little too easy. But otherwise both workouts on this DVD are a good solid workout and fun to do.

So, the video seems a bit amateurish & the girls sometimes seem immature. But by the time I finished … I was drenched. It was a different type of routine than I was used to. (I am comfortable doing the tabata style workouts by Amy Dixon & also use other high-impact type workouts).The warm-up is a bit boring & longer than expected, but thorough. I was concerned it was a reflection of the whole workout. They subtly ramp up the workout without you even realizing it.The DVD has (2) slightly different 30 min workouts … which is nice for variety.I mentioned that the girls seem immature … the one girl in particular, flips her hair a lot & giggles a lot. It could be just nervousness, but it comes off wrong. However, the girls share good knowledge & insight throughout the routines.I would highly recommend this dvd to anyone. I will definitely look into purchasing more of their dvds. I was ultimately impressed.

I do like this work out video, its good for days where I cant make it to the gym. Its not impossible to make it through and you feel like yeah I worked out, but you're not exhausted. I think within a couple weeks it would become easy though. It is at a good pace and the girls seem really fun. I wish the work out was a bit harder. Over all, I would recommend this to someone who is looking to get into shape. But if you're in shape already, go for something harder.

I have a love/hate relationship with this DVD. I love it because it definitely gets results. I felt stronger and tighter while I was doing it, and the girls' bubbly personalities makes the experience more pleasant (as compared to the boot camp severity of Jillian Michaels). I've been doing a mix of cardio and toning workouts 3-4x/wk for the past 6 months and this whooped my behind! There were a few exercises I just flat out could not do. However, they bring the best out of you because there were several other moves that looked intimidating, but I was able to complete (even if it was a lesser number of reps). If you're trying to kick up your routine a notch, rotating in one or both of these workouts will definitely get you results if you stick with it. Warning: Do NOT attempt this DVD if you have not been consistently exercising for at least a few months. Also, there are a lot of squats, lunges and plyometrics in the first workout so it isn't kind to those with knee problems.

This video was my introduction to Karena and Katrina. They are fun, energetic and encouraging. There are a lot of moves here that I've never done or seen, which made it fun. It is also extremely difficult (to me anyway, I am 33 and still relatively new to working out), which I like because it gives me a goal to work towards. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the sound quality, especially in the 2nd workout (abs and glutes). The music is often louder than the girls so you really have to turn up the volume to hear them. After a few times, you know the moves so it isn't a huge issue. I plan on buying their Beach Babe workout when I have this one mastered.

Bought this DVD when it came out years ago, and to this day I still bust a sweat with their first workout. I think this is their first DVD ever so the girls were a bit unorganized and Karena would always count faster/not in sync with Katrina, so I didn't want to bother with their second workout. It's amazing and it works, though. I consistently come back to this workout even though I own all of their Beach Babe DVDs!

I love this workout...but definitely not for beginners. There are definitely some moves I'm going to have to work on mastering. But with that said I don't feel like the brown head (can't remember her name) should not give instructions. Seems very scattered brained but other instructor is great. Wish she would talk the whole time and she definitely has better form. Really felt the workout after done. Would totally recommend this dvd.
