Certified instructor description: Lisa Wheeler joins the “Today Show’s” Joy Bauer in a fast-moving interval program. The two instructors make a great team — their natural back-and-forth banter is both informative and motivating (it’s fun — like you’re just working out with a couple of good friends). The program has two progressively-more-intense aero/tone sections. Each one alternates one minute of cardio with one minute of toning (the short intervals keep you energized and interested). The aerobics begin low-impact and then layer-in the higher-impact options. The ending, all-toning sections are mostly ab-focused. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Joy Bauer's Slimdown Workout

Love this DVD

I love this DVD. It is perfect to do at home. The workouts are challenging. There is a 5 minute warmup and 5 minute cool down. Then your choice of 2, 20 minute workouts. The first one targets lower body and second one concentrates on upper combined with some lunges and squats. I can get complete workout in 30 minutes. The banter between the two hosts is pleasant and helps time to pass quickly. It has become one of my favorite workouts! - posted by Valerie on 12/7/2011

Safe and effective workout - Two thumbs up!!

Being an aerobic instructor myself this is a great aerobic/toning video. It's one of my favorites for 2011. The cuing is superb, and the moves are safe and effective! Two thumbs up. I hope Joy puts out another video soon! - posted by Jennifer on 10/27/2011

Really Nice Workout

First of all, I liked the talk between Lisa and Joy. It wasn't too much and to not talk at all while working out with someone isn't natural. The circuits were well done and the cardio is simple and easy to follow. I used weights for both sections and did them back to back and got a nice intermediate workout. I definitely recommend this one. - posted by Elaine on 3/16/2011

Not Boring

Joy Bauer works out beside Lisa Wheeler, who actually leads this workout in a large open room with pillars. The dvd has two 20 min w/o's and a 5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown. You can play all or select a portion if you are short on time. Workout 1 requires no equipment (I used weights) and workout 2 utilizes dumbbells. Workout One: Lisa & Joy alternate cardio and strength moves such as: side lunges, grapevine boogie, curtsy dip, pushups, planks, bridges, and crunches. Lisa adds in balance moves & ups the cardio intensity to keep your body guessing & to push you that much harder. I rate this workout beginner- but you can easily use dumbbells to up the strength work. Workout Two: This w/o is structured like w/o in that you alternate cardio & strength, and adds in balance challenges & cardio intensifiers. Moves include: tri kick back w/ toe tap, step kick w/ hop, upright row & pliet, planks, crunches, pec fly & bridges, 1 legged tri dips, squat with clean & press, low back work, lat row -knee drop, ham curls, etc. I rate this workout intermediate. While some of the moves are compound- the poundage (in w/o 2) is always appropriate for both moves. The other moves allowed me to heavy up, but were at a quick enough pace to get my heart rate- (using heavy dumbbells helps up the HR too). If you wanted to kick this up a notch: up your poundage, do the higher impact mods from the get go, add weights to w/o 1, etc. I liked the flow of this workout and found (w/o 2 in particular) solid. This is a great dvd for a beginner - master w/o on and then move up and work on workout 2. - posted by LindseyLu on 2/11/2011

Focus on the Workout, Not on Each Other

The work out itself isn't too bad. However, the verbal exchanges between the two instructors is almost nauseating (too many gushing compliments!!!). I have had to turn down the volume to get through the tape. - posted by peg on 2/10/2011

LOVE THIS DVD

I disagree with the other comments. I love this DVD. I do all sorts of DVD workouts and this one is great if you don't have a lot of time it really works your entire body quick. I felt my shoulders, arms legs. You can bump it up if you have more energy one day or do the normal on days you don't have as much energy.........I love it. One of my new favs! Sometimes simplistic is better!!!!!!!!!!! - posted by JACKIE on 1/28/2011

UNBELIEVABLY BORING!!

Wanted to have a different instructor. OH my Gosh! I was almost falling asleep. I don't want to be mean but the workout wasn't even that great. - posted by Silvia on 1/7/2011

Too Boring

This has to be one of the most boring workouts. Also, should be rated beginner/intermediate. - posted by Renee on 12/29/2010

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.

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.
