Time graph for Montenegro Method MM21: Endurance
Three straight-forward aero/tone interval workouts that start tough and then get tougher. The programs are super-time-efficient; Marta Montenegro packs a lot of intensity in a short period. Each workout uses just eight exercises — classics like squat thrusts, knee lifts, mountain climbers and pushups. The first circuit is “base level.” The second boosts the challenge with faster moves, bigger hops or a larger range of motion. The final circuit truly maximizes the intensity; it includes pulses, reverse moves and plyo-jumps ("by now, your heart is sure to be pumpin’"). One exerciser shows easier modifications. Basic, no-nonsense cuing. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Spanish option, Wide screen.

Montenegro Method MM21: Endurance

Missing something
Overall I would say this video is a good workout but not one of my favorites. Why? Marta's form is excellent and her physique is inspiring. The exercises are simple and easy to follow and I broke a sweat in no time; however, if you are a person who needs motivation from the trainer when the workout gets hard, then this video is not for you. Marta doesn't talk much and when she does it is in short bursts such as, "Pick up the pace" and "You are doing great" in a robotic tone that doesn't sound natural or meaningful. The workout is missing a cool down so I spent an extra 5 minutes stretching on my own which adds to the total time of the video so it is not really only 21 minutes long. I will continue to do the workout because it did kick my butt, but it won't be one I pick up as often as others on my shelf. - posted by Valerie on 7/17/2010
wow!!!!!
This workout was so challenging. I have been sore for days.I struggled to get through it the first few times, but it was worth the effort. I feel totally worked out in just one or two segments, and it is soooo worth it. - posted by Lisa on 7/15/2010
This is a great workout!
I have been using kettlebells exclusively for the last 6 months and have gotten great results, but wanted to add some kind of cardio cross training for days that I can't get outside and hike hills. This workout was new and had good reviews and I just now tried it for the first time. Wow! It really kicked my butt in only 21 minutes. I am literally dripping with sweat-more than even when I do kettlebells, and those are tough! I really love this workout. And Marta is inspiring....she obviously lives what she teaches. Best workout I've used aside from kettlebells yet, and I 've used many of Jari Love's workouts, Tracy Effinger, and Amy Bento. If you want a uncomplicated, tough workout in a short amount of time, GET THIS ONE! - posted by Theresa on 7/15/2010

Although it does not have a warmup section - I Loved it - as an advanced exerciser I truly appreciate the creativity and I got my heartrate in the fatburing zone in less than 5 mins. Would highly recommend this to friends/family and would buy her future dvds. *****4star due to lack of warmup. - posted by Cynthia Fumi on 7/9/2010
Harder than I thought...
I'm in my late 40's and have been regularly working out since my late 20's. I thought I was in pretty decent shape -- until this 21 minute workout! While there is no warm up or cool down, the first few exercises start off rather slowly which felt like a warm up to me. But as the routines progressed, I actually had a hard time catching my breath. The workouts are easy to follow, require no equipment and provide a good aerobic workout. Plus all the push ups and planks really strengthen the core. After the work outs I did my own cool down. The first few times I did these workouts I was pretty sore the next day. I loved that I got a good workout and raised my heart rate in such a short amount of time. - posted by Laura on 7/1/2010
Great Addition to my Workouts
I love this workout. You can do one or two - it's basic but very challenging. It's great to add one of these after doing some cardio. I've been working out 6 days a week for 20 years and have tried everything. This makes it into the regular routine. I'm ordering her other two videos! - posted by Stephanie on 7/1/2010
Good but not great
This DVD is well done but somehow I don't feel really motivated when I watch it. Marta is a good thorough instructor and the workouts are time efficient. I think for me that when you complete one interval there seems to be too long a period before starting the next exercise. I liked her workout companion and their form is very good. Not a favorite but I may use this on light workout days. - posted by Catherine on 7/1/2010
Sorry, just did not like
I feel like I should apologize for being in the minority and not liking this workout. All the other reviews were glowing. It was just not for me. I knew after reading the other reviews that there was no warm-up or cool-down so I really did not take off for that, but I do feel like they should have been included. When I buy an exercise dvd I would like it to be a complete workout and without a WU or CD, I feel like it was not complete. I consider myself advanced and have been exercising for years so I can do my own WU and CD, but I shouldn't have to. Just because I know what to do does not mean that other people do. I mean, what if Cathe took that mindset and didn't provide a WU or CD on her dvds because she is advanced and anyone who does her workouts should know what to do already. The workouts are over 21 minutes so the cover is misleading. The music was horrible and Marta was not on beat and she did not do the same number of reps on each side. I hate instructors who can't count. There were way too many lunges and planks. I have wonky wrists and planks are my least favorite. There was too much time in between each exercise to keep the heartrate up. Just not a good workout for me. Again for all of you who liked it I apologize. - posted by Leona on 6/23/2010
good for busy people
a good fast workout that gets your heart rate up, but after awhile will no longer be a challenge unless weights are added. - posted by donna on 6/18/2010
Good stuff...
I would have given this 5 stars but there is no cool down stretch included with this dvd. Marta is serious but is pleasant at the same time. Her program is different enough to make a difference in your routine. Athletic - no dancing here. I truly was inspired and motivated throughout the workout. - posted by Marie 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
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Spanish option
X
In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.
Wide screen
X
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
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.

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.
