Editorial Review

This fast-moving, high-tech 2-DVD set features former intelligence agent Katrina Barillova leading three complete 45-minute workouts for fat-burning, strength, flexibility, speed, precision, and endurance. The exercises are tough and relentless, military style, with Max, Barillova's trainer, instructing by voiceover. (He cues for the performers, not the viewer, so ignore his left/right directions.) The Combo Workout is full-body muscle conditioning with various forms of pushups, moving lunges, weighted punches, weights, and abs. The Shadowboxing Workout consists of fast, intense cardio boxing drills plus stretching. (Watch the separate Basics instructional section first.) The Cardio Workout--"designed to be unattainable"--pushes you through fast-paced, high-energy boxing moves, jumping jacks, squats, and lunges, with stretching. Read more

Not a Tae-Bo Rip off
I love Tae-Bo and have been using his tapes for years and wanted a change,something that wasnt a Billy Blanks rip off or cheesy and I found it with this DVD.
Great workout, but it is not for the faint of heart
This workout is one of the most difficult work out videos I've dealt with.I haven't sweated this hard since I stop running track in college.The first work out (The basics) is cool, it teaches you basic form and footwork and lays the ground work for the other three workouts.The following three (Combo, Shadow boxing, and Cardio) are serious.The Combo workout is approximately 35 minutes, the other two are about 45 minutes.I felt very muched worked over when I did any of the workouts.The Combo workout used weights and emphasized strength little more than the other two, but they were all great workouts.If you are looking to sweat (hard) and lose some weight, buy this DVD.I would not suggest this DVD to anyone who is not use to mid to high intensity workouts.This work out is no joke.

It's a blast!
I am a long-time martial arts enthusiast, and feel really guilty if I can't make it to my gym every day.So I made a resolution to do some kickboxing videos at home or wherever I am (if I have a room when I travel, which I do a lot).A friend has recommended this video to me as a truely entertaining piece, so I thought at first it was going to be some gimmick with a little workout value.But once I got it I not only loved the look and feel (it actually looks like a movie, it has great special effects showing which muscles you are working out), but it is also a terrific workout.What I like most about the workout is that I can determine how difficult or easy I want it by changing my resitance, for example in Combo some cast members do the exercises without any weights, while others do the same kicks and punches using hand weights - I also like ankle weights for my kicks - really gets my heart pounding (as if the kicks weren't hard enough on their own - what can I say, I like to take it to the limit).I love Shadowboxing especially, because it is a free style workout - you don't have to follow any specific routine to the music, you can do the exercises at your own pace and strenght based on the examples that you are given at the beginning of each set (there are 20 or so sets).I have to watch myself here though, because it is so easy to slack off and get lazy when I start getting tired since it is totally up to me to how easy or strenuous I make it.(If you are a beginner this would be a good one to start with so you can ease your way into this kind of workout.)But when I had a bad day at work and I need to get rid of my frustrations watch out!The beg gets it!Oh, this is also great - when I don't have a beg, I can also do all of these exercises without it.I usually do combo when I travel bacause it is mostly body and muscle shaping workout and I don't have to have a lot of room to do it.I would definitely recommend this DVD to everyone from a beginniner to advanced, since you are in charge of the difficulty level yourself, has a really good timeless routines and moves (a nice mixture of classics and new ones), will shape you up really good, has a great music (especially shadowboxing) and is a lot of fun to watch too. ...

very little instruction
I was not impressed with this DVD set.I scanned each video and found it very difficult to follow along with the exercises when you have to keep twisting your head to look at the TV so you know where you are and what stage of the exercise you should be doing.The fast pace really wasn't the trouble, it was the lack of instruction.Truly, I think this could have been so much better by using cues, reminders (breathe, belly in, etc) and analogies to complement the workout.Actual teaching!For all the hype of how fabulous Romana is as an instructor, I was sorely let down with this production.It looks like she's great to work with in person, appearing to be a very kinesthetic (teaching/learning by feel & touch) instructor. But that's why others are involved in the production of these DVD's - to make sure the communication makes it across to the viewers.That's why I buy DVD's to workout with and not a book.

Bloated presentation, lots of duplication on the 4 DVD's
Real interesting footage, but I'm just BARELY glad I bought all 4 DVD's, since there's LOTS of duplication among the 4 discs. The amount of unique content on one DVD out of the four is as little as 12 minutes or so.In other words, all this content could have been placed on one or two DVD's, not FOUR.Just so you know.
Beginner Pilates Student/Beware Negative Reviews
I am a beginner Pilates Student.I take my classes by a certified Pilates trainer who trained and now teaches Pilates at Romana's studio at Dragos in NYC.She was taught and certified by Romana.I bought these DVD's as soon as they came out and before there were any reviews.I am shocked as I now come back to this site to purchase another set for a giftand see all of the negative reviews of this set of DVD's.

Editorial Review

Back in the 1980s, aerobics was king. But since then, the popularity ofyoga has grown. "Power yoga" and other variations geared more toward exercisethan meditation are in vogue in the West, making yoga and aerobics increasinglyalike. Now, with the "Yoga Moves" portion of this two-tape set, Molly Foxattempts to erase the distinction completely. The 45-minute program begins andends with some yoga postures (sun salutations, forward bends and lunges, thedownward dog), but the bulk of it consists of six brief (roughly five minutes)sections of low-impact aerobics, replete with hops, skips, and jumps, knee liftsand side steps, and turns and arm movements familiar to anyone who knows JaneFonda and her aerobic offspring. Fox's choreography is reasonably simple, withlots of repetition; the moves are fun, and a good workout is assured. But is ityoga? Not really. Read more

Yoga for Everyone
This two-video set offers a very different spin on practicing yoga. "Yoga Sculpts" is a fast paced aerobic workout using various yoga postures; and "Yogo Moves" is a dance video combining familar yoga moves. It should be titled,"Creative Yoga for The Advance Student." There's nothing here for the novice or beginning student unless you're looking for a creative or experimental form of expressing yourself using yoga. In "Yoga Moves," Molly Fox leads you through a 50 minute fat-burning workout using dance movement and yoga moves that do little to teach the novice about perfecting the art of yoga. "Yoga Sculpts," offers a 40 minute high impact aerobic workout designed to strenthen and shape the legs, arms and waist while increasing overall muscle definition. These videos work if your looking to break tradition and take yoga to a new age concept. Since the two videos are really not instructional in nature, they could offer a challenge to the advanced student looking for an alternative workout. They are not recommended for the beginner or the unfit. ... Read more

Definitely worth buying!!!!
Having recieved the 4 Island Girl workout videos (tahitian cardio, tahitian hip hop, hula cardio & hula abs and buns) just over a month ago, I have no hesitation in recomending these to anyone, who enjoys dance, as a form of getting fit.If you have purchsed the "Hula for weight loss", and "hula for beginners", earlier last year, also done by the same instructor "kili", please do not let those, put you off purchasing these (all 4).The Tahitian Dance and Hula Dance forms have a subtle, but noticeable difference... The Tahitian Dance form is a little faster, therefore it builds up a sweat, a little quicker.These videos have great instruction, get you in shape, and are fun to do.I've searched extensively, and there are very few Hula Instructional tapes available on the mainstream market, and the bonus of these 4 (available to purchase seperately) being as good as they are, makes them well worth buying. I would recomend you buy all 4 in this "Island Girl workout series", as you won't be disappointed.P.S: to all of you out there who enjoy bellydancing, just as I do, as some of the moves are similar, I feel you would enjoy these also. ...

Two wonderful practices for sunrise and sunset
Yogini Rainbeau Mars, best known for her "Sacred Yoga Practice" series, has released a new yoga series titled "Yoga for Beauty."This series offers two practices, Dawn, or the sunrise practice, and Dusk, or the sunset practice.In both, Rainbeau instructs a class of four participants, this time in an indoor studio (although it is decorated with many plants to suggest the outdoors).Two of the assistants show modifications, one for limited flexibility and one for limited strength.While chant-like music plays in the background, Rainbeau offers both live and voiceover instruction:she speaks live while setting up poses and moving through vinyasas for the first time, but she switches to voiceover while poses are being held.Her left-right cueing is inconsistent; sometimes she mirror cues, sometimes she does not.At the beginning and end of both practices, Rainbeau is shown performing a beautiful flow of poses a la Ana Forrest in Strength and Spirit.

Good workout for couples, belt needs new design
I orginally purchased the workout for me and my husband was watching me workout and was interested in trying for the indoor walking type exercise. My husband and I love to walk and he is not coordinated for all the fad workout videos like "Kick boxing".
lost 18 pounds
I really like these videos...by cutting out pop and drinking lots of water and cutting back on my overall eating I lost 18 pounds in 2 months. I do the videos 4-6 times a week (usually the 2 mile tape)..if I do not have much time tho I do the 1 mile tape..it is great tho..just be sensible and cut back and excerise and you WILL see results. also I have NEVER had problems w the belt..tho her voice DOES start to bother me when you have her memorized LOL..so I play the radio over her...HTH...good luck!!

Video shows band that broke! Did you catch it?
As a stay at home parent who has limited time for exercise, these tapes are simply awesome!I just had another baby and wanted to get back into shape slowly.These tapes are perfect.Very easy to follow along and you do feel it working immediately.Finally an exercise series I look forward to doing.Now, about the bands.I'm surprised no one else mentioned this yet.Mine are still in tact but the past reviews here mention the bands breaking.I chuckled since I noticed just the other day that one of the exercisers in the video broke her band!Its on the 2 mile tape, look for the blonde woman in the back row on the right.You see her exercising and then all of a sudden you see her look surprised and then glance down at her hand.She's only holding one unattached handle :)She shrugs as if she doesn't know what to do.Then when they pan back over she is not wearing the belt and shortly later you see her with a whole new belt in tact.Guess they couldn't edit that out but it was amusing to confirm that yes, these bands do break.I use my hand weights which also give a wonderful workout.I highly recommend this video set to anyone who wants to get or stay in shape. ...

Good Outweighs Bad
I have started doing The Firm body sculpting system again after a 2 year break and I can definately see results after the first 10 workouts. My favorite tape is Cardio Sculpt. I find it easy to follow and quite a good workout. I don't really like the ab sculpt. It seems kind of easy and long. Body Sculpt is extremely hard! I remembered why I quit the Firm before- this video is killer on the knees.It moves so fast it is hard to protect your knees. This video also has a section on upper body which is really good- you can skip the lower body if you want.Also the hard plastic step is a pain in the but to move around on the carpeting. I find the instructor (on all of the videos) is moving on to the next move and I am still taking apart or re-assembling my fanny lifter or switching weights. The music does suck and the set is strange. Why are the girls kneeling on and lying on the wood floor-kind of stupid-bad for back and knees. Looks weird! I don't recommend to anyone with bad knees.

Not great - blahhh
I bought this set after someone recommended it, so I went ahead and tried it. Well, for starters, the instructors are fake, fake, fake - everyone is smiling while doing the workout, but ok I can tolerate a lot as long as it works, but that's the problem. The fanny lifter is a good concept, like the step, but smaller - almost too small for cardio, and just using that will get your legs in shape if you stand on it over and over - which will save you from watching the lame videos... the cardio video sucks - once you start getting your heart rate up, you stop to lift some weights, move the fanny lifter, remove the top part of the fanny lifter or change it out for the bottom part, or put the stupid thing back together (why not coordinate the workout so you group the parts with half a lifter together more?) or do something stationary and this continues throughout.
Good for Beginners and More Advanced Exercisers
I bought these tapes about a year ago and have had good results.If you are a beginner, take your time. You may not be able to get through the complete tape(s) at first.These are challenging workouts (unless you are exceptionally fit, I suppose) and can easily be adjusted by adding heavier weights as you become stronger.The instructors are easy to follow and the choreography is fairly simple, even for a klutzy person such as myself.

Modern and upbeat
Broadway Sweat is my favorite exercise video. The dance moves are, in my opinion, the prettiest and simplest of all. The music is so inspiring and works so well with the routines. I think this video will never look "dated" because show tunes are so classic.The toning video is fun and I got good results especially in my leg muscles.Please get this for girls ages 10and up (after consulting their doctor first) because it will inprove their coordination and gracefulness and they will smile while they dance because Richard is so heartwarming.I am middle aged and I love this video. I am so happy to have Richard Simmons in my era! ... Read more

Great Teacher!
Dolphina is a very good teacher!I just started these videos and have been able to get the moves down really well because she starts out slow and describes each movement with detail.I also feel like I am getting a really good workout.I would highly recomend this video set to anyone who wants to learn belly dance and get a good workout at the same time.

laughing is good exercise....
This video is okay, but I spend more time giggling then actually doing the steps.
horrible horrible horrible
The set I bought did not even contain the finger cymbal disc and when I called their order line to request assistance I was told they'd leave a message for customer service.LIARS!!I have now called 3 times and been given the same crap.Based on what i've seen (on the other 3 discs) of this mindless airhead, I don't even WANT to know what she has to say about the finger cymbals! ...
