great video for someone who is just starting to exercise. I would definitely recommend it. The video is fun and keeps you intrested. However, if you already exercise on a regular basis then I would suggest one of her more advanced videos.
Ok workout
I liked the lower body and cardio. There was a bit too much jumping and twisting of my lower back for me... But I did enjoy this workout.
I like that it's fast. 30 minutes. Out of these 30 mins, the exercises are split into 10 minute sections with a timer. This is a great addition if you don't have time for a long workout.
In the beginning-- I thought I was going to have to resell this dvd -- I didn't feel like I was getting anything out of it. By the end-- I wasn't out of breath, but I was warm. It gets your heart going :-)
I was disappointed a bit because I was expecting a more advanced workout. But-- I like it none the less. (I don't like the music... )
Quick yet effective
I am in pretty good shape, and was really just looking for something for cardio and to tone up. I have a number of aerobic video's that just weren't getting my heart rate up anymore. This is a great work out for someone already in decent shape that is that has little time for working out. The steps were easy to follow after about the third time around.
I was wary of this one at first, because I'd tried the "Urban Heat: Hip Hop Workout" from Tru 2 Form, and it was lousy! Quick Fix is a whole different ballgame though.
The moves are fun and challenging. I like a 30 minute aerobic workout, so I do all three segments at a time, one after the other. I'm already sweating profusely when I finish the first segment, so I can say with certainty that doing one or two of these quick workouts at a time will also get the heart pumping.
The moves are a lot of fun, and the instructor breaks them down quite well, especially considering the limited time period. They are a bit complex, but, as my fellow aerobics lovers know, this makes the workout interesting and exciting. Stick with it, and you will learn all the moves...

Quick Fix's Total Mix is designed to deliver a maximum workout in minimum time. This 90-minute DVD format allows participants to design their own workouts with choices from nine separate segments. Each of these sets concentrates on specific body parts that can be done in any order. Workout combinations can span anywhere from 10 minutes to 90 minutes and will target the major muscles of the upper and lower body. "Ab Flex," "Leg Blaster," "Arm Toner," and "Buns Firmer" are just a few of the segments offered here and some of these sets require the use of dumbbells (three to eight pounds) and a chair.

There's no doubt that that adding an exercise ball to your routine will perk it up, but--depending on your sense of balance--it may also land you on the floor. Instructor Keli Roberts and her two able assistants make no such descents, but beginners are bound to wobble, which Roberts acknowledges with reassuring frequency. The three 10-minute workouts can be done individually or combined since they focus on different areas. Round 1 concentrates on the lower body with squats while holding the ball, balancing on it for a variation of the yoga bridge and squeezing it with the upper thighs. Workout 2 tones the arms and back by lifting dumbbells while sitting or leaning on the ball and using it for pushups. The final routine is specifically for the abs: sit-ups, curls, yoga's plank and downward... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 28 January 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours

Veteran aerobics instructor Kathy Smith jumps aboard the Tae-Bo bandwagon with her punchy video Kickboxing Workout and adds her own brand of California-girl pep to the popular martial-arts routine. Accompanied by martial-arts champ Keith Cooke, Smith presents a terrific, high-adrenaline workout, based on the punches, jabs, kicks, and squats that Tae-Bo lovers will recognize, with more polished production values and a more appealing music track. Smith and Cooke alternate leading the onscreen group and point out several low-impact alternative moves for beginners. The 45-minute workout is a great fat-burner, and those side kicks will shape those hips in no time. --Anne HurleyMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Kathy Smith (III) DVD Release Date: Released the 18 May 1999 Usually ships in 24 hours

I have just recently discovered Janis Saffell and have been very pleased with her workouts. I am at an advanced home workout level and have found it somewhat difficult to find quality workouts on DVD. This is yet another quality workout from Janis Saffell and well worth the $ to add this to your rotation. Someone commented that the transitions are not that smooth, I didn't really care since I do like the more diverse workout Guillero and Janis provide in this video. I am somewhat new to kickbox and really appreciate the advanced level workout they give you in this DVD. This is a very efficient workout which will make you sweat - both cardio and strength, which I appreciate. Be sure to catch the bonus abs workout - a pretty different approach.
