Prevention: 400 Calorie Fix Workout |
  Just OK |
| I find many of the transitions from one move to another, to be fairly awkward. What I do like is that each part of the body are hit, and it's easy to mix in a few higher-intensity moves to bring up the heat on this one. - posted by Trish on 1/26/2012 |

| Boring! |
| I like this instructor but this workout is a yawn. You do the exercises in the circuit, then you do them again, only with bigger movements. The moves are in no way intermediate, and never progress beyond a grape-vine. I could see this being a good beginner video except for the fact that her cueing is nearly non-existent, and she moves very quickly when working with weights. This one will be going back. - posted by Suzanne on 1/22/2012 |

| Rating my videos |
| I love this workout. I can no longer do high impact because of my arthritis, but these workouts from Collage are great. And, I might add, I've not yet had a workout from Collage that I didn't like because the variety is so great. Keep up the great work, people. - posted by Rebecca on 10/15/2011 |

| Not for All Beginners |
| I have been working out with DVD's for over a year and have many Prevention vids. This one was my least favourite and will be going back. She moves too fast and jumps way too much. I have knee issues and had some pain after doing this workout. If you watch the entire DVD you'll see the same moves over and over again. It got really boring. Sorry but it gets one star from me. Prevention's older workouts with Chris are much better than this. - posted by Share on 10/10/2011 |

| Good calorie burner |
| This is a fast paced routine for me, but one I think I can adapt to over time. I like the weight segments between the cardio workouts. The moves are a bit more difficult than ones in the Leslie Sansone tapes that I usually use, but a nice variety. - posted by Barbara on 9/22/2011 |

| frenetic pace!! |
| I wouldn't recommend this workout for a beginner-the pace is so fast, it's frustrating trying to follow. I'm an intermed-adv & I was sweating, but mostly making up my own moves-it was ridiculous how quickly she changed from 1 move to the next. I liked the concept of the workout, but it needed to be better cued. - posted by Cheryl on 8/21/2011 |

| Not very interesting... |
| I thought the instructor was great but the workout itself wasn't very interesting. I tried the workout a couple of times but just couldn't get into it. I have so many other DVDs that are challenging and FUN! This just wasn't one of them. I would try this instructor again in a different workout. - posted by Betsy on 7/26/2011 |

| Good workout |
| This was a good workout that was easy to follow - I enjoyed every minute of it. Great for the off days when you don't want to work really hard but still want a good workout. I would totally recommend it. - posted by Karen on 7/14/2011 |

| I really liked it, actually ! |
| It's a shame this DVD has gotten some negative & so-so reviews. I actually think it's a lovely workout. It's not easy by any means. I'm not saying it's super hard, it's definitely not an advanced workout, but it IS challenging. I do Cathe DVDs, the FIRM, Jari Love, etc... & I think the only reason I'd say this isn't quite as tough as those is because of the length of the workouts on this DVD. You get 2 20minute workouts, but put those together if you wish & you get an even greater challenge as far as endurance goes. A friend of mine, who never works out, actually did this DVD with me & loved it even though she couldn't do alot of it. The instructor cues very very well. I don't mind the repetitiveness. It's no more repetitive than some of Petra's workouts, and Leslie's are far worse as far as repetition goes. All she does in this, for the cardio portions, is she has you do each segment, if you do the 1st workout the intensity increases with a variation on each segment, then at the end she combines the segments together. It's not so bad as all that. It was easy to follow, I'd say a solid to high intermediate level as far as intensity goes & it actually has a nice cooldown which alot of DVD workouts are missing these days. All in all I recommend this one to just about anybody! It has it's place in any rotation. - posted by Melissa S on 7/11/2011 |

| Nicely done |
| I thought this workout was very well done. I enjoyed the set, the music, the instructor (she reminds me a little of Leann Rimes) and the choreography. I don't understand giving a negative review of a workout because it's too easy. Just because it may be too easy for you, that doesn't make it a bad workout - just as a workout that is too advanced for you isn't necessarily a bad workout, either. Collage has this workout listed as beginner/intermediate. I think that is a fair rating. - posted by Gams on 6/3/2011 |
