Certified instructor description: Cindy Whitmarsh leads two complementary interval workouts: one upper body and one lower-body. By doing the programs on alternating days, you’ll maximize results without overstressing any single muscle group. The workouts are fast-paced with lots of variety and no slowing down between segments. Each interval lasts just one minute (“just 60 seconds, you can do it”). The cardio segments feature athletic-style moves at varying intensities (including higher-impact jogs, jacks and jumps). The toning sections use proven body-sculpting classics like squats, lunges, push-ups and planks. One-on-one instruction. Includes a healthy eating meal plan booklet. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 3 and 5 lb.). ©2008. DVD has: Close captions, Region 1.

More toning, less cardio
These are strong workouts, but with the one minute (only) cardio segments I'm not sure my heart rate got to/stayed at any sort of desirable range. I was sore all sorts of new places though and stayed engaged throughout the workout, but the lower body one is more fun than the upper body workout. (I didn't do the diet part of the plan.) Good use of limited exercise time. - posted by Elizabeth on 2/2/2012

Great Time Saver
Excellent circuit training and great work out in a short amount of time. - posted by Maryann on 2/2/2012

Great Inter Workout
This is great workout and you can make it harder by using heavier weights and doing advanced cardio moves..Cindy is such a great instructor with a great personality...She never gets on your nerves, you actually enjoy hearing her talk you through the exercises....5 stars!!!! - posted by Aimee on 1/5/2012

Amazing 30 minute workouts!
Love this workout! I started looking for some 30 minute workouts after I had my 2nd baby and knew I wouldn't have time. These are the only 30 minute workouts that make me feel like I'm really working hard. I also love the one minute intervals. I never dread doing it because although it is challenging it's only 30 minutes and each exercise only lasts a minute. It helps me stay in shape with a toddler and an infant in the house...that's hard to do! - posted by Bonnie on 12/27/2011

THIS ONE SNEAKS UP ON YOU!
I've only done this workout once and when I started, I was worried it wouldn't be hard enough. Was I wrong! Her constantly changing intervals keep things fresh and the cardio factor never lets up. I love that! Exercises were challenging and I got a good workout! - posted by Mindy on 12/1/2011

Like it!
I am 59 years old and fairly good shape, but only did walking for my exercise. I needed some guidance on strengthening of the arms, legs, and abdomen. I don't want to drive to an exercise facility because of distance and inconvenience. This video has fit the bill. Cindy is energetic without being too sweet. She teaches about correct technique and does reminders about "keeping your abs tight" when I need the prompt. I often will do either the upper or lower body for 30 min and then finish with 15-20 min on the exercise bike or elliptical. This has been a great choice! - posted by Anita on 11/17/2011

Great Video
This is in my main rotation. I get a very efficient workout with half the time I would in the gym. She is great at cuing and easy to follow. - posted by Marie on 10/27/2011

Great Video
This is a great workout if you are an intermediate exerciser heading toward an advanced. I consider myself an advanced exerciser and I really love this video. I usually do this if I need a good workout but not a hard one. I like the way she goes from weights to cardio. She gets the point without stalling and is not annoying by doing so. I would recommend this video if you are looking for a slightly hard workout. - posted by Dawn on 10/15/2011

Will kick your butt!
This is a fun, intense, challenging video. Cindy is encouraging and fun and not too "cheerleadery". All around a very effective workout. You simply do not have time to get bored with all the changes back and forth between cardio and strength training. - posted by Donna on 8/18/2011

great, efficient workout
This is a great go-to work-out. I come back to it again and again. - posted by Becky on 7/29/2011

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.

Region 1

This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.

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.
