Max 30 with Toby Massenburg |
    Motivation to the Max |
| Terrific workout. Toby does a great job cueing and really motivates me to push hard. Fun and unique blend of moves with a few of my favorites mixed in. I love curtsy squats but I hate burpees, which he maxes! Overall great calorie burner for limited time and space. A keeper! - posted by Julie on 3/23/2012 |

    Great Workout |
| I really like this video -- like another reviewer said, Toby has a great smile and great personality. For some reason, when I'm doing this, it seems hard, but not impossible, but the next day I am completely sore. (And I'm a pretty advanced exerciser). I always do it right before a scheduled rest day, because there is no way I could work out after that. My only complaint is that you need a step for one of the segments, and I don't have one. But still, the video is totally worth it, very low dread factor -- impressive considering how hard it is. - posted by DD on 3/15/2012 |

    Love it! |
| Great workout. Toby uses exercises that I've never seen before and I've been using videos for 20 years. He keeps it interesting and challenging. Great instructor. - posted by Jen on 1/26/2012 |

    Awesome Workout! |
| Great workout! Loved it, loved it, loved it! I first saw Toby on Patrick Goudeux's Hot Lean Bodies DVD. When I first noticed that he released his own DVD, Max 30, I couldn't wait to try it. He really gets my heart rate pumping. Like Paul Katami's A.S.A.P Hollywood 4X4 DVD, Toby's workout consists of blocks with one-minute intervals. These intervals make my heart shoot through the roof. They're tough, but definitely a workout you will feel good about when you're done. Toby has a nice personality and I enjoy his cute comments. Not only does he make the workouts fun, but he gets you in shape in the process. You will not regret this purchase. Fun, fun, fun! - posted by Monica on 1/19/2012 |

    Glad I got this one! |
| This workout IS advanced level. If your heart rate isn't up there you aren't pushing yourself hard enough. That is the way this workout is set up. There are breaks because it is a type of HiiT workout and those typically have breaks. Work harder if it isn't doing it for you! - posted by Melissa on 1/18/2012 |

    Good/Not Great.....Intermediate/Not Advanced |
| I exercise 6 days/week alternating weight training days with cardio days. I like advanced workouts, and some of my current favorite instructors are Paul Katami(all of his kettlebell workouts, especially Burn & Build), Michelle Dozois (all of her Peak 10 workouts) and Shaun T (Insanity). There are a lot of pros about this workout. It has some original moves and kept me interested. The time seemed to pass quickly. Toby has a great smile and a nice tempurment. He is encouraging and cues very well. However, there were also a few cons to this workout for me. I wear a heart rate monitor and was disappointed to see that I didn't burn as many calories as I do with most of my other interval workouts. While the weight training portion of the workout was fun it was not super intense. Similarly, the cardio section does not have enough challenging drills. My heart rate did not stay in my training zone for very long at all during the 30 min cardio segment. I did the entire 70 minute workout back to back and still had a lot of energy left to do more cardio on my elliptical, which is unusual after most of my other advanced workouts. Additionally, Toby's workout would be better if it had some really banging music! Overall, I think it is a great first effort. If Toby continues to make workout DVDs I have a feeling that he will get better with each effort. - posted by Melinda on 1/11/2012 |

    More intermediate/high intermediate |
| I'm just not feeling the love that others are. Not sure if I really consider this advanced. I did this in the morning and I am usually not as ambitious with advanced cardio/weight vids in the A.M. as I am at 5pm. So with that being said I did this whole workout in the morning for the second time. The cardio sculpt just isn't complete for me. It's a little of each muscle group, but not enough to do much. I thought it was somewhat fun, but the adding hops and working upper and lower altogether was way to confusing and I find myself rewinding and switching weights. I never got much of a muscle challenge. The first time I did this section, I did it with another toning dvd to get a better workout. I will continue to do that. The cardio portion was good. I like that he builds up the intensity and keeps it fun, but again, I didn't find myself really cardio challenged at all. I will say I did not do the jump turns in the air over the step. That just seemed to dangerous for this 47 year old body. Then some of the cardio was kinda putsy, given that he also gives you a break. But, it doesn't feel long or repetitive. The core work was ok, but I think he could have added more. I like his personality and the fact that he didn't yell at you to keep moving. I will use each section but with other workouts. I think intermediate exercisers will like this one. - posted by Cam on 1/7/2012 |
