10 Minute Solution: 5 Day Get Fix Mix

I'm the self-proclaimed exercise DVD junkie. I have two little ones and prefer getting up early to work out at home rather than dragging me and my kids to the gym. I have a huge arsenal of DVD's, many of which I watched once and thought they were awful, and never returned to them. I have a handful of tried and true videos that keep me motivated to work out 7 days per week. This will definitely make the 7 day list for me! To be honest, I just did this for the first time today and only did the abs portion, the cardio/weight portion and the lean muscle portion. I work out 7 days per week and THIS MADE ME SWEAT! The best part about the sections I did today was the abs workout. I have NEVER seen any of these moves. She kept it new and effective and definitely kept my interest. Loved the music and the cuing was pretty good as well. If you like short condensed work-outs to work various sections and change up your daily routine without any boredom...this is for you. Great video to me!

Due to medical reasons... I have not been able to work out for several years, thus leaving me greatly out of shape. I had purchased several workout DVD's to find out that I am more out of shape then I thought, especially with my severe asthma. I came across this DVD and for around $5 thought I would give it a shot... what do I have to loose? Well... I LOVE this DVD. If you do all 5 workouts at once I think that this video would be a decent workout for an intermediate to experience level person. It is great for me because I do one of the 10 minute workouts at a time. This allows me to get a good rest and get my breathing under control. Then later in the day I do another 10 minute workout with the same rest period afterwards. I know these are little steps... but for someone like me it is a great way to get back into shape. Hopefully, in time, I can work up several of the workouts at once... I think this video is a great option for anyone. You can design it to fit your needs. For the price... I say give it a try!

I get bored easily with workouts, so the 5-day mix works great for me. I'm not a fan of the Cardio Kickboxing segment (just not my thing), but the rest are great. Amy is a good fitness personality. She's natural on camera and not annoying like some can be. I'm a big fan of the 10-minute solutions because motivation is often a huge barrier. Even I can get myself to commit to just 10 minutes. Then once you get started, it's not so hard to just do another one. Even in just 10 minutes, she packs in a good workout. My first time through a couple of them, I had to pause for a quick rest. She also looks tired and sweaty as she leads you, so that's a good sign. My one caution is regarding cardio. I love this mix mostly for strength and core training. I have yet to find a good, short video that really gives a good cardio workout. Granted I don't like the kickboxing. The interval workout does a decent job for cardio, but it still doesn't compare to something like running. Awhile after I got this DVD, my husband and I broke down and bought a used elliptical. There's just no competing with 10 minutes on that machine to keep the heart rate up. Still, I use this DVD all the time in between elliptical workouts for variety and strength training. Of all the 10 minutes solutions I've tried (about 5 of them), this is the one I bought and like best.

I have to be in the mood to workout to Amy Bento. She's a little too cutesy, which translates to her moves as well. The intervals, sculpt, and ab workouts are all very good, and her moves are rather innovative, but there's something about her that... Well, let's just say I can only take her in small doses. And watch out with the kickboxing. If you're into REAL hardcore kickboxing, this will be a huge disappointment. I didn't end up sweating very much, and it was more frustrating than anything else. She tries too hard to incorporate everything in such a short period of time that it would make followers, even those who are intermediate or advanced, susceptible to overexertion and even injury.

I bought this dvd because I am just getting back into exercising and to ease back into it, I have been doing my exercising in 10 min increments (10 mins on the stationary bike & then 10 mins of a workout dvd). I thought instead of doing 1/2 of a 20 minute workout I should try a workout that was intended to be 10 minutes. I didn't care for this video much. I found the moves were not great on my joints and the instructor's form was rather bad, in my opinion. I doubt I will ever use this dvd again. I wish I had youtubed it first to get an idea of what I was in for. I will never buy another workout video without checking out a sample on youtube first! I am going to go back to my Jillian Micheals dvds (30 day Shred is my favorite) and just do what I can. I find if I do the warm up and first set that's about 10 mins (or since I'm warmed up already from the bike, I do the 2nd two sets and that's about 10 mins). I recently tried The Biggest Loser: Boot Camp dvd and really liked that too. For some reason I found it got me sweating way harder than the Shred dvd, but I was able to get through the entire 20min workout. It also has 2 other workouts that are 15 & 10 minutes each. Recommend those two videos over this one any day.

I ordered this workout video just to try, not really knowing what to expect. I am in fairly good shape, within my weight range, but have not worked out at all in the past year and wanted to just tone up. Well I love this video because there are 5 ten-minute workouts targeting different areas/objectives and you can do as few or as many workouts in whatever order you want. The pace of each workout is quick and easy to catch on to, and you really get right to business after some quick stretching. That I love. But don't let it fool you - I was sweating half way through the first 10 minutes. First day I did two of the workouts, and the next day my legs were pretty sore. And because the workouts are so easily customized to whatever mood you're in and how much time you have, it's easy to keep going and stick with it. I would definitely recommend this video.

Good video, really like the workouts in it

These 10 minute sets are just perfect for working out when you don't necessarily want to do a whole 45 - 60 minute routine. You can choose to do one, all, or a combination of 10 minute sessions of your choice. I find I usually do 4 routines of 10 minutes each. Some at first seem overwhelming, (like the kick box cardio), but after a few tries, you will get the hang of it. I recommend this product. A really good workout.

Awesome workout! Especially for those who don't have a lot of time. Clear instructions and all you need is some hand weights and a mat. Great new ab excersises.

Wasn't quite what I was expecting. The yoga segment was much faster than I expected, made it a little hard to keep up as a beginner. Some segments were easier to follow than others. I'm a beginner so a little more instruction would have been helpful, all in all a decent DVD and great concept. Might buy more from this series in future.

Love Amy Bento's workouts. Easy enough to follow, doable in a small amount of space, and she is not overly perky or annoying.
