Tonya Larson's Pure Pump |
  Pleasantly surprised |
| For some reason, I thought this workout would be too easy and even a bit fluffy but I was wrong. Tonya is in great shape and delivers a solid strength workout in less than an hour. You have the choice to do workout 1, 2 or both plus core and stretch. Doing all three sections covered all muscles pretty well. You can make this workout more difficult by using heavier weights. During the biceps section, I also stepped up and down on my bench to involve my heart a bit more. Overall, really liked this one! - posted by Sharon on 6/7/2011 |

| Love it! |
| It is a simple workout to follow but at the same time it makes you sweat. Tonya is a great instructor and she makes her routine easy to follow for anyone. I really enjoy it! I never watched the christian segments. - posted by Catherine on 1/21/2011 |

| Average |
| The exercises themselves are mainly good, but each exercise is done so many times, singles, multiples, isometric, basically the same exercise again and again. So there's not much variety of exercises. By the third time I did the dvd, I got used to where the cueing wasn’t so good, there are only a few of them. This is an adequate workout but no more. - posted by Marion on 11/14/2010 |

| Ok .. but too repetitive |
| Not a bad workout, but not a great one either. The first part consisted of tons of squats and then more squats, while doing rhomboid squeezes or tricep extensions. I also found it annoying that she would cue while making a transition to the next move, although this would probably be ok after you've gotten used to the routine. The second workout was a ton of plies while doing arm work, and then doing more plies. I found it a little boring, although I honestly liked Tonya - I thought she was cheerful and pleasant. This one is just not a keeper, however. - posted by Candace on 10/2/2010 |

| One Solid Toning Workout |
| I just finished this DVD and boy oh boy it was pretty tough. I thought that this workout would have been easier and it really wasn't which for me is a plus. If you want a pretty intense toning workout this is the one to buy. - posted by Marie on 9/29/2010 |

| fun and effective!!! |
| oh my goodness! this is the cutest video and i say that because of Tonya's laid back personality. cute can be very deceiving tho because the next day my thighs, butt and chest were a lil sore because Tonya does a few unique moves on these areas. this workout will surprise you and it goes by so fast. before you know it you're done. i loved it. now for a little background on me... i consider myself to be advanced. i've been working out since i was 16 (which is *well* over 20 years). i seek challenging workouts but at times i switch out to fun stuff because i believe as long as you keep moving you're doing good. my workouts consist of cardio, weight training of course, yoga and pilates. you will love this one. - posted by Nicole on 9/9/2010 |

| Great Workout! |
| I was pleasantly surprised by how thorough this workout is. According to my heart rate monitor I burned over 300 calories. I use the step and heavy weights, and definitely feel it the next day. Tonya is pleasant and packs a lot into this DVD. I don't really understand the "spiritual warm-up." It is just Tanya talking about her beliefs and what God has brought into her life. It isn't a warm-up at all. The "play all" option skips that part, so you don't have to listen to it if you choose not to. One of the best workout DVD's I have purchased in a long time! - posted by Kathryn on 4/27/2010 |

| Somewhat repetitive |
| I found the workout sections of one or 2 exercises to be too long...and it gets sort of boring after a while. The exercises are good, but the instructor is constantly counting 1, 2, 3 during the workout, which I found annoying. I even heard her voice with the 1, 2, 3, 20 minutes later, taking a shower! - posted by Barbara on 4/26/2010 |

| Full body effective workout |
| I *LOVE* this DVD....even though I often can't move for a day or two after doing it! I really enjoy the instructor, her directions, and the workouts. I love the pattern of slow, then double-time, then pulsing, then holding. Same movement with different results. My *only* complaint is that I wish the "play all" option on the DVD menu would include the warm-up. - posted by Janice on 12/25/2009 |

| Wonderful |
| This is excellent! The 2 segments are killer. She does not waste a second of your time! She gets a lot into the 22min sections without rushing or skipping a beat! This is high intermediate/advanced! Goes by so quickly and kicks your but! I used 5lb and 8lb dumbbells for this. - posted by TracyAZGirl on 12/5/2009 |
