Fit in 5: Ultimate Body Blitz

Great variety and perfect for time crunched days!
I love this DVD. It has a great variety of workout types and it is perfect for when you need to squeeze in a workout and don't have a lot of time. All of the moves are simple and straightforward. I'll be using this one a lot. - posted by Zoe on 5/5/2011
Fun and Great Variety!
I want to amend my previous review of this DVD to say that the Latin Dance workout is better than I thought. I said it was good, but I now think it is excellent. Along with all the other 20 minute workouts, with the exception of the yoga one, it will invigorate you and make you sweat! It is a great bargain for one DVD because each workout is very different from the next. All instructors are excellent and are easy to follow. No dance steps are too difficult in the Latin Dance or the Cardio workout. The yoga workout I find to be relaxing and good to do in the afternoon or evening. It is not a strenuous workout but more for flexibility. The set is very pretty to look at. You can also see trailers for each instructors other DVDs plus read a short profile on each instructor. I was inspired to find out that Petra Kolber, who leads the cardio workout, is a cancer survivor. She beat it and became an exercise instructor. I think it is important to have a teacher who can really inspire you to keep exercising. More and more I find myself doing the 20-30 minute workouts because that is what I have time for on a daily basis. I think you will have fun doing the workouts on this DVD! - posted by Bernadette on 4/19/2011
Great Variety In One DVD
I love the Strength Cardio workout, Pilates workout and the Cardio Workout. I only like the Latin Dance and the Yoga workout. The Latin Dance is more for a light fun day. The Yoga is more for flexibility and relaxing and is nice to do in the evening. The other three challenge me and make me sweat, which I think is great for a 20 minute workout. You can also view trailers for other workouts offered by each trainer and read a profile of each trainer. - posted by Bernadette on 4/17/2011
Fit in 5
This DVD is excellent for time-constraint schedules. It has 5 sections of 20 minutes each. The segments are varied focusing on aerobics (ordinary); aerobics (dance); yoga; pilates; and aerobics with weights. I liked the choices to fit into my schedule. Any two or more can be combined for complete workout or any one by itself for those with "no time for exercise." They all are easy to follow, and are finished before you know it. - posted by Tina on 6/18/2010
Great workouts!
I am really pleased with this dvd. Each workout is 20 minutes. I find that I can commit and do 20 minutes each morning. I like the variety that each workout is different. All are professionally done and FUN! Not sure which is my favorite. I like to rotate through the workouts to help keep it interesting. They are all 'multi-level' so I can do all the workouts and adapt them to where I am physically right now. I highly recommend this dvd. - posted by Karen on 6/17/2010

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Level
X
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
X
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
X
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.

Choreography
X
Workout 1: Basic
Workout 3: Moderate
Workout 4: Moderate
Workout 5: Moderate
Toning emphasis
X
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
X
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.
