Certified instructor description: A high-intensity program that makes you feel like you're really working out on the Brooklyn Bridge. The left side of the screen shows what you'd see if you were actually in New York, running across the Bridge (e.g. stunning skyline views, authentic sidewalk shots). The right side shows an in-home version of a similar exercise (e.g. six minutes of jumping jacks, instead of running). You also get short muscle toning intervals within the cardio. These range from basic push-ups and donkey kicks to resistance band exercises like side squats and pull-ups. Beautiful photography and very motivating music. Includes two heavy-duty, loop-style resistance bands and a 32-page booklet. ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp
What a challenge!
I bought this DVD because it was listed under "proven weight loss DVDs" on Collage. I bought it 3 weeks ago and started it the first day I got it. It was such a challenge to make it through the whole hour. I wanted to quit after the first 7 minutes. Then I kept thinking about what the DVD says that it changes your body in 5 sessions. Of course I wanted to get there. So I made it through with a lot of walking breaks (when they ran I walked in place). I did the DVD 4x the first week and by that time I was actually doing the whole thing! :-) I can't believe how quickly I got better at the pushups and sumo squats (grueling!). What's special about this DVD is that it is challenging and effective and not like most other DVDs that go so slowly that you just want to turn it off after a few workouts. This one has me coming back because it makes me work so hard time after time. I don't think this will ever be easy and I can see myself getting better with every workout. 3 weeks later and I have lost 10 lbs because I also started reading Ariane's Slim & Strong blog and learned about how to eat the right way so that I'm losing body fat. - posted by Ana on 5/20/2012

My favorite!
I bought this DVD because my friend got it when she was participating in Ariane's Detox Challenge. She told me how she stopped eating sugar and processed foods for 21 days, gave up alcohol (and a few other things) and dropped 15 lbs in 3 weeks. She used the DVD during this experience and when I saw her after 2 months I could not believe my eyes. She had lost her saddlebags and her arms were really buff. Needless to say I was sold and bought it a month ago. I have to say I'm not a fan of workout videos but this one is my favorite. I do it twice a week and it does what it says: it has changed my whole body. I finally fit back into my jeans that were too tight just 2 months ago and I can see my abs again. Definitely recommend you try this if you want to see a change quickly. - posted by Zoraya on 5/9/2012

Fantastic workout
I just did this workout for the first time yesterday, and it is great! I think I will become addicted to it! It is definitely tough ... I had to take some rest breaks ... but the time goes by and in a short period of time your whole body is worked to fatigue. I like the band work with the legs and some of the arm work. I did use dumbbells for the bicep and overhead chest press work. I'm sore everywhere today! And I felt so alive and awake the rest of the day after completing the workout. I am looking forward to getting great results with this workout. I know I will reach for it often (and I have about 100 workout DVDs) just to have that great feeling when I am finished! - posted by Liz on 5/5/2012

Best exercise video ever!
I have dozens of exercise videos and am an advanced exerciser, but this one beats them all! The video claims to transform your body in five sessions, and it does. Not only that, but my endurance has improved (I'm a runner) and I've lost weight without really trying. Love this video! - posted by MB on 5/3/2012

Great Workout
I was not so sure that I would like this video as I can't do high impact like before. I didn't think I would be able to do it after watching it. I gave it a shot and it worked my butt off. I was so sweaty and it felt good. When I got tired I just did modified jumping jacks and sumo squats. There are plenty of them. This was my first time doing this dvd and it will not be my last. I made it thru the whole dvd and next time I will be able to do more. Every time will get better and better. When the high impact was to much I just modified and kept on going. I wanted to give up but I pushed forward. Like one viewer I wish there were some different cardio moves. I will get back and do another review after I have done this at least five more times to see if there will be changes to my body. You work your whole body. For those that can't do high impact you can do this with modifications. I did half high and then modified then got back to high. I just kept doing what I could. It felt great to finish the dvd. - posted by Elly on 4/28/2012

loved this workout!
I have been a big fan of Cathe for years and buy only advanced level workouts. I decided to try something new after I saw the reviews of this video. Both my daughter and I love this workout (ages 22 and 60). There is nothing complicated about it, but it is a very challenging, all-encompassing workout. I love the fact that it comes with the bands and would be excellent to take on a trip or vacation. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a workout with simple moves yet is highly challenging. - posted by Kathi on 4/27/2012

Awesome!
I am in decent shape but found this workout quite challenging! It's a full body blast and I love the way Ariane moves through the exercises working the body from head to toe. I enjoyed the bridge views that added some variety to the visuals. I know that doing this workout will bring results! - posted by Sharon on 4/24/2012

A travel must
I purchased this DVD to take with me on a 3-week business trip. My colleague had done Ariane's workouts on the Brooklyn Bridge and saw fantastic results and lost 30 pounds in 3 months. I was hoping I'd make the time in my hotel rooms to work out. After the first workout I could barely walk the next day and my clients laughed at the way I walked. but I kept doing the workout every day for 7 days straight and it got better and easier every day. Not that it ever gets easy, but I managed to push through the push ups without dropping to my knees. I continued to do the workout for 15 days out of the 21 days I traveled and when I came home my husband couldn't believe his eyes. He has never been happier to see me come back from a trip! I'm so glad my coworker suggested this. Give the outdoor workout a try when you're in New York City. You must try the live version. - posted by Leslie on 4/11/2012

butt kicking is right
I purchase videos with a challenge and this one was!!!!It makes Jillian Michaels' videos look like a piece of cake...It says at beginning that you may not make it threw the whole video the first time.. well I did and I thought I was going to die. I did this for a month and have lost 9 inches. If you do it daily you will notice a difference in your body in 5 sessions like the box says. I'm addicted to this bootcamp video and recommend it for anyone who likes a challenge. - posted by Barb on 4/3/2012

Love this!
Love this workout! I consider myself an advanced exerciser (I have almost all Cathe's and Jari's workouts in addition to a a ton of others) and this workout kicked my butt! I love all the exercises with the bands - I really feel it in my upper body the next day. Try it if you want something different that's still a challenge! I would definitely buy Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp II !!! - posted by Joyce on 3/30/2012

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
