November 21, 2008Shop-girl I work out at a health club (cardio and circuit), but not regularly enough to achieve good results (at age 40+), so I was looking for a flexible at-home solution to augment the health club. I'll give that the Bravo reality show "Workout" was entertaining and motivating (The Good). I'll give that reality shows in general can muck up their stars' credibility or image (The Bad.) I'll also give that the episode where Jackie cattily snickered about a client's cleavage was disappointing (The Ugly). In protest, and becasuse I'd heard good things, I tried Jillian Michaels's "30 Day Shred"--but found her Level 2 style a tad abrasive and belittling. (If her routines are going to torment me physically, don't need to augment that with low self-esteem because I can't keep up with her grueling routines or burn that stubborn fat. Found myself cussing back at her on the TV...)! So I revisited Jackie Warner's "Workout: One-on-One Training." Figured with a successful Beverly Hills fitness club and a rock-hard body at 40 (that my sister enviously insists is from surgery because no one over 35 looks that good without it), Jackie must be doing something right. I started with the 20-minute Core routine every morning, with the Upper-Body routine every other morning. (As mentioned in other reviews--there are three 20-min. workouts--core, upper body, lower body. I have lower-back and knee issues, so I shy away from high-impact lower-body routines.) Bottom line: It works! In 6 months: lost 8 lbs, 3" from waist, 2" from hips, 4" from ribcage, arms and abs more sculpted than 2 decades of health club. 6 months later, I still burn (adding ankle weights and a balancing disc for core + increasing weights for upper body keeps it effective.) PROS: Schedule flexibility (quick 20 minutes daily, or all 60 3x/week); includes warm-up and cooldown stretches + beginning/advanced modifications; motivating, personable coaching (Jackie is encouraging, but sometimes forgets to address her at-home viewer-clients); fairly good job emphasizing good form throughout DVD; includes 1-minute cardio-burst moves (more effective than just the routines--just don't expect it to be a substitute for cardio workout--it isn't). CONS: Moves fast, lack of clear instruction from one routine to next (example: stands up between modified plank and bicycles--both floor routines, so keep the remote pause/rewind handy until you learn the routines); doesn't emphasize good core form throughout core routine (i.e., press belly inward to spine, spine into floor); some routines change timing/don't keep time w/music; severe lower-back strain with some upper-body moves where you bend over with weights (bent-over rows, rear-delt flys, alternating one-arm row--try over exercise ball or bedside/sofaside to support lower back). RECOMMENED? Absolutely! (Esp. for beginners/intermediate fitness-seekers.) If you like the show... November 19, 2008AHGG (Sunny SoCal) .. you'll probably like doing the workouts like I do. I feel like I'm getting a good workout and I enjoy the show therefore its an added incentive to be working out will Jackie and the trainers. I love this workout! November 17, 2008A. Elvebak (Seattle, WA United States) A little about myself...I am great cardio shape however I don't lift weights. I decided I didn't want to spend anymore time at the gym then I currently do so I figured a DVD would be a great place to start. Here is why I love the video: *It works your whole body *Each section is 20 minutes (upper, lower, core) and you can choose how many sections you want to do based upon your time limitations or focus. *Every move is done for 60 seconds straight. It takes your muscles near exhaustion and this is a great way to build muscle quickly and prevents "bulking-up". *Every 4 minutes there is 1 minute of cardio drills (high knees, jumping jacks, boxing in place, etc...). This is a great way to get the heart-rate up and feel like you are getting a true work-out. *She focuses on what is important and doesn't add a lot of "filler" to her works out. You know if you do the DVD from start to finish you are getting a full-body work-out from home. *She is very pleasant to listen to...she is neither or cheesy nor overbearing. Great Workout!! November 17, 2008Lea L. Mueschke (College Station, TX) This is the best workout dvd I've ever used. Watching the trainers perform the moves is very motivational (there are low and high level options for each move). You will get an outstanding workout! Great Workout! November 16, 2008L. Quady This DVD has three sections and you can customize your workout. You can have lower body, upper body, and a core workout. I like Jackie's style of workout. | |
