Certified instructor description: A challenging program that features varied techniques and lots of equipment (emphasizing the unique “BOSU” ball-step apparatus). Each class member uses a different piece of equipment for the same basic move — you can follow the exerciser that matches your level (or your equipment availability). Mindy uses the BOSU, her assistant is on a regular step-bench and the third exerciser works on the floor. Other routines use a medicine ball, X-ertubing, an stability ball, a body bar and even paper plates (e.g. to help your hands slide back-and-forth on the floor during extra-intense push-ups). Throughout, Mindy is chatty, light-hearted and just havin’ fun. The minimum equipment required is a step-bench, medicine ball and an stability ball. ©2003. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Awesome Workout

Awesome -that word says it all - Mindy is a great motivator - when I'm down and out on my workouts, I do this one - total body - great strength workout and she always makes me smile!! - posted by Diane on 4/9/2008

Good Workout

I was drenched in sweat from this workout. I used a 4-pound medicine ball. I really felt it in each muscle worked. This was also a fun workout and the time flew by because there is little down time changing equipment. I felt that most of the time was spent actually working out and no time was wasted. I highly recommend this workout. - posted by Leeya on 10/30/2005

Different but good

This workout is pretty fun. I love Mindy's energetic attitude, it is very motivating. If you are looking for a workout that will challenge you by using equipment that you are not so comfortable with - this is one to get. She uses/demonstrates different ways to do different moves with whatever equipment you have. Its good to mix it up once in a while - posted by Karen on 1/15/2005

Different workout

This is definitly a strength workout and NOT a weight lifting workout. I like Mindy and she does a good job of showing how to use the different items, ie bosu, ball, weights etc. What I didn't like was putting your hands on paper plates for pushups as I thought it would be way too easy to slip and hurt yourself if you didn't have total control. - posted by Arlene on 6/27/2003

What A Workout!

I've only done this video once so far, but I loved it! It was very challenging! I started to sweat before I even got through the warm up. Mindy has done it again! She's very motivating! - posted by Deborah on 4/8/2003

Comments:

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.
