Patrick Goudeau's Extreme Calorie Burn |
    Good but... |
| This workout is ADVANCE a lot of up and downs...a lot of inter connective moves, builds up a sweat, Goudeau is as always energetic and charismatic, but there are no modifications, and it is a little fast paced....I did my own modifications on some moves just to avoid injury, after 45 minutes I had no more energy to continue and I am an Inter/Advance exerciser, I also run. Calorie burner for sure. - posted by Aimee on 5/11/2012 |

    Hardest Workout Ever |
| I'm an advanced exerciser who has a hard time finding workouts that are challenging. This one knocks me out! At this point, I still have to modify about half the exercises, because, about 20 minutes into it, I'm too beat to do them at Patrick's level with good form. Don't get me wrong-- I count that as a good thing! I look forward to improving my fitness level with this workout. As always with Patrick-- great music, great cuing, and so much variety, the time flies by. Get this one if you want a challenge. - posted by Susan on 4/5/2012 |

    If you're not an advanced level athlete, look for another DVD!!!!! |
| I LOVE THIS DVD. It takes me to the brink of my fitness level and keeps going!!! I have always been a person who enjoys high impact/intensity workouts and Patrick delivers on this DVD. He is not only your coach, but he gets down and dirty and performs a majority of the routines along with his team. I'm still not able to complete the DVD without stopping 2 or 3 times, but I won't let that deter me from popping it into my DVD player twice weekly. - posted by Gloria on 3/17/2012 |

    GREAT IDEAS |
| I love Patrick's DVDs. I think his variations are innovative and fun. Exercise can get boring if you keep doing the same thing over and over. He changes it up often, while keeping your heart rate up and not losing the audience to sudden changes and complicated movements. I am an instructor and I love using some of his ideas in my own classes. Great job Patrick !! Keep it up and keep offering your great DVDs. - posted by Laureen on 3/8/2012 |

    Tough, challenging, great workout! |
| I love advanced workouts like Cathe Friedrich, etc. and was looking for something new and challenging with weights and found everything I was looking for and more in this workout! Patrick is a very good instructor. Some moves were a little tricky to execute but still I was able to keep moving, modifying until I caught on to get a really good workout without having to stop. If you like advanced workouts where you really sweat and feel really accomplished when you're done, I believe you will not be disappointed in this one!! - posted by Linda on 3/8/2012 |

    Very Advanced - Watch your Form! |
| Like others have said, this is very challenging and there are a lot of quick moves up and down, bending and twisting while holding weights. If your form is not 100% and your weights are too heavy your back might suffer. I'm an advanced DVD exerciser (Cathe, Dozois, Katami, Art of Strength, Ilaria, etc.) and this DVD is definitely advanced. I had to modify several times to keep it safe for me and also to allow for heavier weights, because I know, one wrong move and your back could hurt for a while. Overall I liked it, but not as well as Lean Hot Body which I think is his best one to date. (Another good one is Kitchen Sink). Also, he must be reading reviews because he never said 'oh my gosh' in this DVD (not that I noticed anyway). Patrick is very likable and cues well. - posted by holly on 3/4/2012 |

    Just what I was looking for |
| I am always on he lookout out for a challenging, total body workout with high energy intervals that won't bore me. And Extreme Calorie Burn exceeded my expectations. Like other reviewers, I was drenched in sweat by the end. It's the workout I do when I have to miss a super challenging Tabata-like group fitness class at the gym. But I echo Mark's warning about your lower back. The moves aren't dangerous, but they do require a very tight core and careful attention. I had a sore back to begin with and I really felt those tight muscles the next day. - posted by Cimberli on 2/24/2012 |

    SO SO |
| At first i was very excited about this new intense interval training! this workout is super intense and the moves are VERY DIFFICULT!!! However, I do like a challenge-but i am totally not ready for this one! I returned it! i will give it four stars....due to the intensity and variation! I will definately try in the future. - posted by Jojo on 2/23/2012 |
