Summary: Where Calories go to Die
Comment: Jackie Warner's "Workout" is one of my favorite workout dvds right now. The other is Jillian Michaels's "30 Day Shred." My main form of exercise in the past was running, but I reluctantly gave it up when my knees became a limitation (I like to workout hard almost every day but my knees can't take the punishment of even slow running more than a few times a week). Also, running takes a lot of time, and, as a dad to a newborn, I do not have a spare hour except after dark, which is a miserable time to run in the winter. "Workout" is a perfect replacement for me because it offers three hard workouts that I can do at home in the evening regardless of the conditions outside. The workouts each take all of twenty minutes and allow me to push hard without experiencing any knee pain. After logging in dozens of workouts with Jackie and her crew, I feel leaner and stronger than I ever did as a plodding runner.

Summary: Very over rated
Comment: I watch the Bravo series "Work Out" and thank god that I do because knowing the back story behind Jackie and the trainers is the ONLY thing that kept my attention during this DVD. I thought that the filming was amateurish; the choreography was lame and neither Jackie nor her trainers could keep a beat to save their lives. If I was new to exercising and used this DVD as a guide, if I paid any attention to Rebecca, I would wind up with the worst form on the planet. I would also have no clue as to what I was doing because I felt that the explanation that went with each exercise was strongly lacking in detail. In summary, this DVD was a HUGE letdown. Boo.

Summary: Worth every minute
Comment: I first experienced this workout on the ON DEMAND station provided by my cable network. ON DEMAND has tons of free things; such as movies, sports and ExerciseTV. Within two weeks of doing the workout (3-4x/week), I noticed results. The subscription ended after three weeks, so I ordered the DVD because I knew I wouldn't keep up with the routine otherwise. Best $10 I have ever spent! For only 20 minutes per body part, you can't go wrong. I continue to see results and am very pleased with the routine. Some tend to get monotonous but this workout is easy to follow and Jackie offers an array of exercises to keep you moving and motivated. I must admit, I've only done the upper body and abs portion of "Workout" but I am sure the lower body excercises will be just as beneficial to you as the other two have been for me. A definite BUY!

The video uses a combination of your own body weight and free weights so if you don't have weights, buy some! Nothing too heavy (at least not at the beginning) - five pound free weights will suffice.

Summary: Great workout DVD
Comment: I been doing lots of Firms DVD's since 2000, but decided to buy this one because of the price & also I watched her series Workout. Let me just say that it was hard and I exercise about 5-6 days per week, and that includes running. The Core part was the most dificult of the 3. Great exercise DVD and time goes by very fast since it's only a minute per exercise. If you want to break a sweat and feel like you did a good workout, this DVD is for you.

Summary: The BEST workout dvd
Comment: I absolutely LOVE this workout dvd. As a stay at home mom and army wife, I don't get to go to the gym as often as I'd like to. This is the most effective workout I have ever done. I can't speak for everyone, however, I noticed ACTUAL results in about 2 weeks, for example I toned up fast and had more energy! I did 20 min a day and alternated between core, lower body, and upper body. I recommend getting a good set of hand weights for this dvd. The best thing about this dvd, she uses weight training and cardo, and there are different levels of each movement, and for each targeted area you work every muscle group. Its the best!!! I HIGHLY recommend this dvd if you want to GET WORKED!!! I also highly recomend her clothing line!!
