Power yoga "demands your attention," says instructor Rodney Yee. He leads a challenging, constantly progressing series of poses, one flowing into the next, integrating breath, movement, tension, and relaxation. The poses include Sun Salutation, standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists, and arm balances. The first poses are fairly easy, and with each repetition of the series, Yee adds on more difficult movements, extending the series without pausing. You're encouraged to do as much of the series that fits your level, up to the entire 65-minute workout if you're an experienced yoga practitioner. Although you can begin at any level, some familiarity with yoga is recommended. The Hawaiian setting is gorgeous and inspiring. This is an excellent yoga workout that you can grow with, adding on more as you get stronger. --Joan Price

The Best of The Best.......2007-06-20

I purchased this DVD three years ago and, although I own many yoga DVDs, "Power Yoga: Total Body Workout" and "Total Energy Yoga," another Yee DVD, are the ones to which I keep returning. "Power Yoga" is, as advertised, an excellent, total body workout -- albeit not one for beginners -- with just the right amount of instruction and no irritating "pep talks" or celebrity prattling: in other words, real yoga.

Most positions are held for 30 seconds, although a few are held for shorter periods of time and one --upward bow -- is repeated three times in a row. Sufficient time is permitted for transfer from one position to the next, even if, in the beginning, a practitioner cannot maintain the "flow" and needs to walk from one position to another. In my view, Yee is, along with Shiva Rea, the best yoga instructor making DVDs, and "Power Yoga" is his best DVD, overall.

One additional note: Recently, I have been employing this yoga practice and Yee's "Total Energy Yoga" along with physical therapy to treat a "frozen shoulder". My physical therapist is impressed by the progress that I have made using these yoga DVDs. While I would never suggest that anyone -- especially someone with an injury -- try an exercise DVD without first consulting his or her doctor, I have to say that yoga and, specifically, Rodney Yee, has worked for me.

excellent workout.......2007-06-13

This is a great yoga workout. It's quite strenuous, and I'd recommend it for advanced beginners or intermediate yoga practitioners. The set is beautiful and the cues are perfect. If you just started yoga, I wouldn't recommend starting with this dvd, but if you are already fairly fit and familiar with yoga, this is a great choice.

Another A++++.......2007-06-11

Easy to follow, wonderful techniques, and spectular aiding in body tension. I also enjoy the muscle building the video provides. I has been only a few weeks and I already see and feel the differance. Thank You Rodney!! ;)

Awesome DVD, great challenges.......2007-06-07

This DVD is great. It pushes you and yet allows you to make modifications were necessary. It is an hour long and really makes you sweat if you push yourself deep into the poses. Clear visuals and great instruction. I love this DVD and if I end up skipping my gym workout this is the first DVD I grab at home. WONDERFUL!
~andrea

Intense!.......2007-06-05

This is an intense, long workout that is "do-able", but be prepared! I am a beginner but practice everyday with Rodney Yee's AM/PM Yoga for Beginners (love that DVD!) and other DVDs and am working my way up to intermediate level. I try to do the more intense and time consuming Yoga a few times a week, when I can fit it into my schedule. Because this one is the longest of my videos, I don't get to do it too much since there never seems to be enough time in the day. I also like to hold the stretches a little more than is allowed in this video. I affectionately refer to this DVD as the "boot camp/drill sergeant" workout because its a constant stream of instructions and movement. This is a good video for someone who is looking for more of an actual workout and not so much of the relaxation and long hold periods of stretches. Is one of the only workouts that makes me sweat!

Denise Austin: Boot Camp-Total Body Blast.......2007-07-05

Denise Austin: Boot Camp-Total Body Blast is an excellent workout! It is easy to follow and works every inch of your body! I love it!

I used to run 10k a day.......2007-06-17

I used to be a very active athlete..running, basketball, gymnastics...you name it. A couple of months ago I graduated college and moved out to a tiny apartment in a big city with my boyfriend and needed to find a way to workout without paying big bucks for a gym and without running in the dangerous area I live in.

This was the answer. I consider myself in great shape, and was very skeptical about girly workout videos. Since I started this video my flexibility improved greatly, I've become more defined, and my balance has improved. I never weigh myself, but if you eat your greens and use this workout tape, you will lose fat. Also, I'm very muscular and was worried about getting "big," and this doesn't do that at all.

I was also very concerned about how cheesy this was going to be. I didn't want to look like an idiot working out in front of my boyfriend, and you really don't do anything ridiculous, like some of the dance cardio stuff out there. In fact, sometimes he jumps in and tries to keep up.

My suggestion: do the 40 minute workout every other day, and use Carmen Electra's Fit to Strip (disk 2) every other day. Results are amazing.

Not perfect, but I like it anyway..........2007-06-17

This is a tough DVD to get into. You must be fast and coordinated. Denise combines 20 minutes of cardio, 20 minutes of interval training (cardio and weight training combined), and 10 minutes of flexibility stretches. Some of the moves are tricky and unpredictable, and some are hard to do, like the backward leg lunges, but keep moving. That's what's important. This workout will really make you sweat a lot. But I like that because that what's needed to lose weight. I do all 3 workouts at a time and feel very accomplished afterward. I highly recommend this DVD.

Great Workout.......2007-06-12

I just got this DVD and I think is a great cardio workout. The first day that I did it made me sweat in the first 10 minutes and once or twice I stop for seconds to take a sip of water, my heart was right to the roof; even thoug I run 3 to 5 times a week for 50 minutes. So, right know I'm doing this DVD 3 times a week and this will be my second week and still is challenging. I defenely recomend this DVD for an intermediate/advanced level not for beginners. It is a great Workout!!!
Thank you Denise

Fat burning machine!.......2007-06-10

I love this dvd! I have Taebo and Pilates, but this is the only one that I REALLY love. It works so well, and has 2 workouts and a flexibility section so that you don't get bored. You can choose to do one or the other, or do all three for a real fat blasting workout! I did the Cardio section for about 4 non-consecutive days and cheated on my diet, but I still lost 3 1/2 lbs doing this workout. I LOVE IT!

Customer Reviews:

Dancing challenged.......2007-06-27

Unless you have some kind of dance background, this workout is a little tough. Jamie shows you each routine at a slow pace, but steps it up a notch too quick. It takes me a while to catch on and this went way too fast for me.

not too hard, not too easy.......2007-06-26

this dvd is a great work out for beginners and pretty good dancers. after pregnancy, i have not gone to the gym. succumbing to work out videos to get some sort of exercise, i picked up this dvd because i missed hip hop dance class. the moves are not too hard to get, but not so easy that i don't want to do the dvd again. just doing it 4 times earns your money back since dance classes are usually 10 dollars per hour or so. the only thing i did not like is at the end of the dvd jamie breaks down two of the 8 counts he thinks were "hard" but he actually chooses the easier 8 counts to break down. rock your body! rock your body!

A Lot of Fun.......2007-06-08

Finally a Jamie King dance workout I don't have to try and follow along on the Nike website! I liked this workout a lot, and I usually find most cardio hip-hop DVDs lame. It's "organised" like a dance class, with phrases learned at half-time then tempo, a dress rehearsal where you put it all together and then a performance where you run the whole thing through a few times. The choreography is cool, and once you know it you can put a lot more energy into it and have a fun workout. Sometimes they counted off the beat, but it's easy to ignore that if you can count. This isn't high-intensity like a Les Mills dance class, but for a day where you want a steady-state burn, this is a fun workout to try. I hope there'll be more of these down the line, maybe getting progressively harder.

Fun Workout!.......2007-06-05

Another review broke down the sections of the DVD very well, so I won't dwell on that.

The workout is hard at first, you will stumble through the moves, and you won't be able to keep up. This is a good thing! It makes the workout more of a challenge and something that I will keep coming back to. Just don't feel down or frustrated if you don't get it at first.

You can tell Jamie's background is dance and not aerobics or fitness, but that's not a bad thing either. It is really helpful if you know how to pickup on the 8 counts.

There is also a Rock Your Body book available that has the same routine that's on the DVD in picutres. This was really helpful the first few times. The book has lots of other great info too, and I would suggest you pick it up

Fun, fun, fun!.......2007-05-22

I bought this DVD after reading that it was Shape magazine's DVD of the month, and I just finished my second time doing it. Overall, it's a great workout that is a lot of fun!

Jamie King leads the workout, and he is accompanied by four back-up dancers. Jaime has a lot of energy, and makes the workout fly by, which is always nice. The workout is broken down into six main sections: a warm-up, rehearsal 1, rehearsal 2, dress rehearsal (where you put the two sections together slowly), the performance (where you put the two sections together more quickly in front of an "audience"), and a cool down.

In each of the two rehearsal sections, Jamie breaks down the choreography and makes it very esay to follow. If you can't get a move, though, a great feature of the DVD is that in several places you can click on a sub-menu and go to the bonus section where Jamie breaks down the move even more slowly.

One of the things that makes this workout so unique is that the workout is done on a stage with a DJ playing music. During the dress rehearsal and performance sections, the dancers and Jamie also change into "costumes" and even do the routine in front of a live audience. It really feels like you're a rock star while doing these sections of the workout!

The DVD also has a bonus strength section and a section where Jamie breaks down the moves in more detail. The first time I did this workout, I couldn't quite keep up with the nuances of the moves, but I can see progress and I can also see that I won't be bored with this DVD in the future.

The last thing I wanted to say is that I was pleasantly surprised about how this workout got my heart rate up. It's true that there are much harder cardio dance workouts out there, but I was definitely breaking a sweat -- and having fun while doing it! Overall, it's a fun, very unique workout!

shrink your baby fat zones.......2007-06-30

I used this video to lose weight after having my daughter. I am a single mom without much time for going to the gym. This video was perfect. It was simple and great for being a beginner. It did not take much time out of my day, and I was able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight in no time (even a few pounds less)! I definitely recommend it

Total Body Workout.......2007-06-27

I feel a total body workout with this video, and Denise keeps me motivated. It's very easy to follow, and she tells me exactly what body part I am working. I started out with 3 lb weights, and they were too light for me. I encourage you to get weights that will challenge you to compliment this video.

not for everyone.......2007-06-22

Okay, let me just say upfront, Denise Austin is not for everyone. I thought she was too perky, too cheesy and she would talk incessantly. Seriously. Incessantly. The exercisers in the background didn't seem to have much personality either.

The actual workout consists of two 20 minute workouts. The first part is pretty much a traditional workout with free weights. Nothing new there. Though I did like the butt blaster move. I liked the second workout with the stability ball better. Some transitions between exercises were a little fast, but still, not bad.

Both parts focus on toning, cardio isn't really incorporated into the workouts. But if you can ignore Denise Austin's voice, the workout does work the areas you want to target. It's not the best workout video by any stretch of imagination, but it isn't bad for the price.

Best weight loss dvd........2007-06-14

This is my favorite weight loss dvd. I actually enjoy this one. You are not jumping around, trying to keep up with the dance moves, or routines, this actually gets to the heart of the problem, targeting those female fat zones.

Good but not enough.......2007-06-02

I bought this DVD for my wife and her thoughts were as follows. Depending on this DVD alone is not a good decision to go for. You should at least get her other DVD "Personal Training System". This DVD contains very limited exercises, yes focused, but as she says it's not enough even for one exercise session.

Arnold Schwarzenegger works the crowds, plots strategies for defeating multiple opponents, shares his parents' values with the press, and inspires legions of admirers with his resolute optimism about the future. And all of this long before he decided to run for governor of California, in 1977's hit documentary, Pumping Iron. Larger than life, though not necessarily larger than his rivals for the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia bodybuilding titles (especially a young Lou Ferrigno, hot on Arnold's competitive trail but much less interesting), Schwarzenegger still comes across, at age 28, as a consummate politician, smart, likable, and crafty about exploiting others' psychological weaknesses. The film still feels redundant (there's only so much beefcake the human eye will tolerate), but the emotional dramas--the unrewarded hard work, the unanswered hopes--are compelling. Complete with a revealing 2003 interview with Schwarzenegger and a reunion of the film's bodybuilders and director. --Tom Keogh

Description

In 1977, an independent documentary movie shone a light on the world of bodybuilding, becoming a huge box office hit and creating an international sensation. It launched one man's multi-million dollar career and changed the world of bodybuilding and physical exercise forever: PUMPING IRON. Starring five-time Mr. Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the movie followed the 28-year old bodybuilder as he competed for his 6th title.

Ripple (Ripped) Effects.......2007-06-12

Now thirty years after it was released, 'Pumping Iron,' a breakthrough documentary, has changed much in our culture with ripple effects that are still pumping through today. Seeming an obscure project, the film put bodybuilding on the map and made it respectable. The format of the film is used in documentaries and "reality tv" even today. The focal point is the Mr. Olympia title, the pinnacle achievement for male bodybuilders, but the drama captures Arnold Schwarzenegger just before he plans retirement. Add to that a rising rival in Lou Ferringo, and you have yourself a contest. Interviewing the participants and unveiling their motivations and thoughts gives the whole presentation more meat and development. 'Pumping Iron' made bodybuilding into a mainstream and formidable franchise.

Featuring grueling training sessions, and the indespensible interviews by key players, the whole spectacle has much more meaning. Knowing that mental aspects are crucial to success in sports, Schwarzenegger proves that it is no less removed from bodybuilding than from any other sport. Seeing supporting roles by dedicated players like Mike Katz gives the whole enterprise a greater scope and respectability. (It is doubtful that the repurcussions of health clubs, and, Arnold's reign at the box office and over a state described as the "fifth largest world economy" would be possible--to name but a few influencial developments.)

'Pumping Iron' is still a motivation powerhouse, especially seeing all the primitive equipment the contestants used; all of which has significantly improved much since then.

The movie that changed it all.........2007-05-24

I just saw this DVD twice this weekend. I saw pumping iron when I was little and remember clips but not much. I bought this video last week and I love it. All the extras were great. Interview with Arnold and his bio and the hours of footage that didn't make it into the movie. Questions that people have been asking for years about Arnold and that time frame were answered by arnold himself. The movie showed how they trained then. how the body building world was back then. Arnold in his prime and Lou Ferrigno in his younger days. They even had a reunion with some of the old bodybuilders from the movie which was great. I can't recommed this movie enough for all who are into body building. plus watching this movie gives me great motivation to keep going at it in the gym. While i know i will never get as big as this guys ( not like I want to.) but it still inspires me...

Pumping Iron Redux.......2007-05-13

This is a great second version of Pumping Iron because of the comments and interviews with Governor Arnold at the end of the movie. Great for those who have followed the bodybuilding scene since the '60's.

Great movie!.......2007-05-08

Being an avid weightlifter and hearing great things about this movie, I decided to purchase it here on Amazon. I thought the movie was great and it really went behind the scenes of the whole bodybuilding scene. Overall, I thought the movie is great, and without a doubt in the Top 5 for bodybuilding movies. It was cool to see how competitive these athletes were, and to see the turmoil between Arnold and Ferrigno. However, beware, the movie was made in the 70's so it will take you back a bit into how bodybuilding was back in the day. The clothes, music, and gyms were definitely some of the highlights in the movie.

Good Documentary on Body Building Competitions.......2007-04-24

No dazzling special effects or advanced story plot here. Just a good look into the training/competing aspects of body building.

Its cool to see Arnold before he was a huge movie star and see some of the old-time body builders with him. To me, he was not the star of the show. I really liked Lou Ferrigno is this documentary. It was good to see a few "nice guys" in the sport and to see the real bond between him and his father.

Its funny though. All the bad reviews refer to Arnold as "Governor". Seems like some people let their political views cloud all parts of their life(including how they view films that were made 30 yrs ago!). Get a life, you extremist hacks.

Frank Capra made this film in 1941 before he went off to make films for America's war effort, but it wasn't released until 1944. Adapted from the hit play by Joseph Kesselring, this frantic black comedy shows Capra at his best as a master of mood and timing. Actresses Josephine Hull and Jean Adair reprise their Broadway performances as two gentle old ladies who poison men with elderberry wine to put them out of their misery. Cary Grant plays one nephew, a normal guy who just gets wind of their little hobby and tries to get them to stop, while Raymond Massey plays another, a villain just escaped from jail. Capra encourages the cast, especially Grant, to give a somewhat more outsized performance than one might expect. But made during the war years as it was, this overstated comic approach to killing was probably cathartic. --Tom Keogh

You'll die laughing! Frank Capra directs Cary Grant, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre and stellar cast in the hit Broadway farce about a nutcase family with well-intentioned homicidal tendencies.

A Classic screwball comedy with Cary Grant at his best. Also starring Josephine Hull who reprises her Broadway role in a 5 star performance. Black and white movies do not get any better than this. A must see for all fans.

Hilarious Dark Comedy.......2007-05-15

Arsenic and Old Lace, will appeal to children and adults alike. It is the classic Halloween movie. Poor, Mortimer Brewster(Cary Grant) is mixed up with his crazy relatives who have a penchant for murder. Murder done in a benevolant way. The acting is superb and laugh follows laugh in this happy dark comedy. This will appeal to those of you who have wacky relatives or those of you who are the wacky relatives. That's why it is good for both adults and kids.

Veteran fitness expert Denise Austin's Personal Training System is one of several exercise programs designed to take advantage of a valuable feature of the DVD format: namely, the ability for viewers to customize their own workouts by picking and choosing from various elements presented in Austin's prescribed routines. These include sections devoted to cardio (available at low and high intensity levels, both about 20 minutes long), upper and lower body exercises (offered at low, medium, and high intensity, each about ten minutes long), and abdominal and stretching segments (the same for all levels, these also last about ten minutes). Meanwhile, the "custom workout" option enables users to combine any or all of these elements according to taste and fitness level. There's nothing especially innovative here--indeed, the cardio sections are pretty much old school, Jane Fonda Workout-style aerobics, while the upper and lower body sections include light weights, bends, lunges, push-ups and other tried-and-true elements--but those looking for a thorough, sweat-inducing regimen will certainly find it here. Austin's relentlessly effervescent style will no doubt prove inspiring to some and cloying to others. On the other hand, the entire program can be done without her audio instructions, and those who simply don't want to work out at all can occupy themselves with an accompanying booklet filled with diet pointers and recipes. --Sam Graham

A Real Letdown.......2007-06-28

I bought this based on all the great reviews and was very disappointed. I have a couple of other Denise Austin videos, but this is my first with aerobics. She should stick with Pilates. The movements did not have a natural flow at all and I got the feeling while I was trying to follow along that she forgot the script and was thinking up moves along the way. I would call the aerobics beginner, except for the difficulty in trying to figure out what Denise is doing.

The toning is better, but still beginner, not intermediate, even at the most advanced level.

The ab workout was quite good and was a decent challenge, but her rhythm is off. I also really liked her stretch at the end.

The progammability of the DVD was awesome, but it's not enough to redeem the lousy aerobics.

Great starter workout video.......2007-06-13

If you need to be refreshed & are trying to get back into fitness - start with this.

A Perfect System to Buy and Follow.......2007-06-02

A really perfect DVD from Denise. She did a really good job, exercises are organized very neatly and her voice is annoying a bit but yet still motivating and choosing "Voice and Music" is better than "Music Only". A Very Good DVD to buy.

Love the ability to customize.......2007-05-31

This video is great when you want to pick and choose which body parts you want to work on at a particular time. You can also choose the intensity for each body part individually. Lots of flexibility, but still a great workout. Make sure you have weights to use!

Excellent Workout.......2007-05-16

This DVD is wonderful. I have been doing it for about a month and a half and I already see results!! I have lower back problems and this workout doesn't bother my back at all. You can customize your own workout, so you never overdo it! You can use a high cardio workout with a low or medium lower body workout, etc. I love it -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Amazon.com essential video

If you're not a connoisseur of graphic horror and gruesome gore, you'd better steer clear of this wicked 1992 horror-comedy from the demented mind and delirious camera of New Zealand-born writer-director Peter Jackson. However, if nonstop mayhem and extreme violence are your idea of great entertainment, you're sure to appreciate Jackson's gleefully inventive approach to a story that can judiciously be described as sick, twisted, and totally outrageous. The movie's central character is a poor schmuck named Lionel who's practically enslaved to his domineering mother. But when ol' Mum gets bitten by a rare and poisonous rat monkey from Skull Island and is turned into a flesh-eating zombie, Lionel has the unfortunate task of keeping Mama happy while fending off all the other zombies that result from her voracious feeding frenzies. If you've read this far, you'll either be crying out for censorship or eagerly awaiting your first viewing (or second, or third...) of this wildly clever and audaciously uninhibited movie. And while director Jackson would later achieve critical success with his fact-based drama Heavenly Creatures, his talent is readily evident in this earlier effort. If you find this kind of thing even remotely appealing, consider Dead Alive a must-see movie. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.com

Peter Jackson proves that if gory is funny, then excessive gory is downright hysterical. As our hapless hero wades through an ankle-deep puddle of blood and entrails, brandishing a lawnmower like a portable Cuisinart at the climax of this zombie-fest, you'll either be screaming with laughter or fleeing in disgust. Timothy Balme stars as the shy mama's boy Lionel, whose controlling shrew of a mother (Elizabeth Moody) starts rotting away, literally, with a vague supernatural disease. Mother dies but refuses to stay down, rising as a flesh-eating zombie infecting everyone she bites. Lionel tries to hide her in the basement, but the victims keep piling up and finally break out when Lionel's blackmailing uncle (a grotesque, leering Ian Watkin) throws a party in the house. It's snack time as the guests become undead hors d'oeuvres and rise again as hungry soldiers of the new zombie army marching on Lionel and his girl Pacquita (the lovely Diana Penalver). New Zealand goremeister Jackson pulls out all stops in this truly outrageous sanguinary comedy, from gross-out gags of oozing puss and rotting body parts at a formal dinner to slapstick antics as Lionel tries to keep his flesh-hungry mother sedated during the funeral to the final Freudian showdown between a now-monstrous mother and the newly liberated Lionel. If you like your horror with a sense of humor or your comedy with gristle, then wade through this taboo-busting bucket of blood. --Sean Axmaker

Stunning!.......2007-06-27

What can i say about this movie is STUNNING! What else can you expect from one of the great movie director in the world?

Hilarious! Absolutely Fantastic!.......2007-06-20

I purchased this movie based on all the good reviews and we are definately not disappointed. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved it! It had an interesting plot line and the zombie gore was very original. The way the zombies looked, the things they did and the way they were killed was great! I'm sorry I can't tell you any more without giving anything away. If you like zombies and comedy, I would highly recommend this movie. We are still talking about it!

Just because it was good then doesnt mean its good now.......2007-06-13

If you are a fan of modern zombie movies IE actually make sense and arent slap stick comedies then dont waste your time here. This movie was a joke, im sad i bought it.

SPLATSTICK AT IT'S GORIEST!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-09

I am ashamed to admitt that(being the horror buff that I am) up until about a year ago I have never heard of this movie!! I new Peter Jackson made a few horror films before L.O.T.R., and had seen The Frighteners, and heard about his first film, Bad Taste. I had heard about this movie from a friend then seen it reviewed on BRAVO'S Even Scairer Movie Moments so I decided to pick it up. Boy, was I ever blown away!! This has to be one of the goriest movies ever made. The catch is it's not realistic nor is it exploitive, what it is is the text-book definition of splatstick horror comedy. If you loved "The Evil Dead 2" then you absolutly MUST see this movie The violence and gore in Dead Alive(and there is more than you could ever imagine) are used to compilment the humor. I'm not into giving spoilers so I'll give a brief overview. Lionel is a very repressed person. One day Lionel is at the zoo with a girl he is sweet on and his very overbearing mother. His mother is bitten by the dreaded Sumatran Rat Monkey and soon dies, but what kind of horror movie would this be if she were to stay dead. It's pretty easy to see what happens next, mother returns, Lionel tries to hide her, she bites and infects others. The result is the goriest sluaghterfest ever put to film. What can I do for not seeing this gem sooner? Watching everyday would certainly not be a crime!!!

Few (if any) zombie films are more entertaining. None are more gory........2007-06-04

The goriest film ever made is like a big roller coaster: it will be a fun ride for most but it will make some nauseus.

This is one of those very few films that grabs you in the opening sequence and refuses to let go until the credits roll. Dead Alive ABSOLUTELY refuses to compromise. There is no such thing as too gross in this film: Needle in the brain, puss in pudding, guts that turn into some creature of its own, lost arms and/or legs, deformed zombie child, and much, much more. You name it, they got it.

But don't let all of the grossness deceive you. If you know that all of it is special effects, it actually is a very fun ride.

This is a film that most people, especially men, can enjoy (an obvious exception being very small children). What makes this film work, more than anything else, is feeling that the people who made it had a fun time making it. And that's what really counts.

Need better voices.......2007-07-02

The skits are somehow less engaging with this cast. The girls look like dolls and the female voices are horrid, especially Kimee's. Painful. Hate the version of the series. Even as Americans, we prefer the Australian version.

Hi 5 Move your body dvd .......2007-06-07

I love this group they are wounderful and they dress so nice they are awesome.

Get up & dance!!.......2007-04-30

We love Hi-5!! Each episode not only educates your child (on subjects like food, senses, animals, etc.) but really gets the kids up and moving. It is very hard for a child to watch this show without getting up and dancing, clapping, & singing with the Hi-5 gang. This show also puts emphasis on social skills like friendship, manners, and self-esteem. We really like the new packaging on these dvds, it just adds a bit more to the fun of Hi-5. They have a handle so the kids can carry them around--great for taking to grandma's!!

YAY HI-5!.......2007-03-27

This DVD is totally awesome...there isn't much else I can say!!! The fab five are amazing!!!

They are very, very talented, and such a pleasure to watch!!

I was lucky enough to see them live in concert this past February, and see them do songs from this DVD live...they certainly did NOT disappoint!!! And I was even fortunate enough to meet them, and they are as nice as nice could be!

This DVD is very much worth the money!!! Hi-5 is really the best kids show on TV!!! :D

Just like the show.......2007-03-25

IF your kids like the show they'll like the DVD. I think there are two shows on the DVD with a few extras. I bought it so my kids could watch it in the car and it works great.

Three time-efficient workouts.......2007-07-01

This DVD, the partner of the Shape Redefining Workout, offers three different workouts: a cardio interval workout, a fast-paced sculpting workout, and a workout offering cardio kickboxing, sculpting and "skills and drills", which combines cardio and sculpting. These all come in at about thirty minutes and are very effective.

The Cardio Interval is dependent on high impact moves, but one of the instructors shows some low-impact modifications. They use the idea of running up and down hills to build and lower intensity for an interval workout. Jogging, lunges, squats and boot camp movements are used throughout. This is intense but not boring- they manage to pack a lot of variety into thirty minutes.

Sculpt Plus is a fast-paced weights workout. Good job with the pacing- it's fast enough that you get your heart-rate up, but slow enough that you can add heavier weights. I used my twelves and eights. Next time I'll use my fives for the sets that emphasize shoulder work, but I'll also heavy up to my fifteens for the row/lunge combination. And please, please, before you toss any weight workout that emphasizes weights, try adjusting the poundage first. It can make all the difference.

The Potpourri segment has a little bit of everything, but it's done in such a way that it doesn't feel thrown together. And here again, the cardio segments use leg exercises with a twist to build cardio intensity, and the sculpting segments are fast-paced enough to keep that intensity up. The cardio/sculpt segment, though, is my favorite. The instructors suggest using a small weight (up to five pounds) but I was able to use eight and got a great workout. This section uses rotation and a lot of one-legged movements. It's challenging, but fun.

One caveat: even though they offer great cardio and sculpting workouts, they do skimp on the stretches. The Sculpt segment gives the best stretch, but it could be a few minutes longer. I would have liked to have seen an optional five minute stretch option added on, but it's easy enough to add on elsewhere.

Recommended for the time-crunched.

SWEAT & SCULPT.......2007-06-06

I generally do the first workout which is a very intense half hour of cardio. I put this in the first time and gave up a few minutes into the warm up. It's confusing and moves from one exercise to the next very quickly. After a few more tries I got this down and I have to say it's worth it. I can never make it all the way through this without pausing the DVD to catch my breath. I sweat buckets and my face turns red, and I feel lighter and happier when it's over. I've actually never really made it through the second workout, and I've only done the third one a handful of times. I just prefer Michelle Dozois, Lisa Wheeler is a good instructor BUT her cueing is awful and the moves she chooses are not good for uncoordinated people.

Great workout.......2007-06-04

I have tons of workout dvd's. I recently purchased the bikini boot camp workouts and they are great. I do one 30 minute workout plus the 5 or 10 minutes extras depending on what I feel I need more of. You won't be disappointed if you just give it a try. I look forward to my daily workouts.

AWESOME!.......2007-06-03

I wanted to try some workout dvds and bought several different ones at once: Crunch Cardio Dance Party, Kundalini Yoga, Denise Austin Personal Trainer, and this video. This one is BY FAR my favorite! The workouts are challenging yet do-able for a beginner like me. The instructors are supportive and upbeat, the pace is fast, but I am able to keep up with it. The dvd is broken into three different workouts: an intense cardio, a sculpting session, and a mixed one that includes kickboxing, sculpting, and "skills & drills". I think some of the exercises aren't explained as well as others but overall this is a great workout. It is much more challenging and sweat-inducing then the other videos I purchased. I think generally the instructors do a great job of cueing the exercises too, especially compared to Denise Austin's videos! I got her personal training system video which I thought was okay but didn't offer up the level of intensity and fun that this one does. Also, I find the music in this video much more motivating than the others. Overall, a fun workout that will really give you a challange!

Great workout!.......2007-05-14

I really like the 1st 2 workouts on this dvd. They have a good pace and aren't boring. I wasn't thrilled with the 3rd, it didn't seem to have a good flow.
