Michelle Dozois' Slim, Strong & Sexy Body |
 Love the Upper Body Work! |
| I don't use the lower body portion as much, I prefer Bar Method, Squeeze, etc. for that. But, I love the moves in the upper body segment. There is classic sculpting, some functional fitness moves, and the band definitely adds intensity to the moves. Highly recommended. - posted by Elaine on 10/8/2008 |

| Best of the Best! |
| I've been teaching group fitness classes for 7 years and am also a certified-personal trainer. I definitely recognize Michelle's creativity and fun flavor. She's inspirational and doesn't waste my time. Thing is, with a workout video, most likely the participant is to do it several times, so Michelle's good to break moves down just right and explain how exercises can be stepped up to. For me that means that I know how to continue to challenge my muscles to continue to build strength over time. I promise the cuing isn't bad. Not sure what other reviews are referring to. Love this video and highly recommend it! Would give it 6 stars if I could. - posted by Jessica on 7/27/2008 |

 I Like Michelle but not this workout |
| Overall, I really like Michelle's style ---she is warm, supportive and motivating. Her dvds are usually creative and fun. I really like her Best Body Circuit (the cardio burts are fun and the toning is creative) dvd and I do it once per week. However, I found this dvd to be boring and somewhat repetitive with the Best Body Circuit. Some of the exercises done with a band she also does in the other dvd. It would have been better to have unique exercises in this one. I also found myself watching the clock due to sheer boredom. I really am looking forward to Michelle's next circuit/cardio workout ---she does better when she breaks up weighlifting with a little cardio. Sorry Michelle! But you are still one of my favorite instructors! - posted by Melinda on 7/17/2008 |

| No option to combine workouts |
| I love this workout but have one complaint. There is no option to combine both workouts to make one longer total body workout. If you want to do both, you need to skip the first cool down and the second warmup. I find it hard to stay motivated when I have to stop and start again. It's great if you only want to do an upper or lower body workout alone. - posted by Claudia on 6/7/2008 |

| Excellent |
| This is a wonderful total body workout. About time an instructor put out a fitness video that gives you a great lower body workout without doing endless lunges and squats. There is also a separate upper body workout. I do both back to back. Not sure why people are commenting on bad cueing. I don't feel that way at all. It is easy to follow what Michelle is doing and thankfully she doesn't stop the momentum to explain/show what is coming up. - posted by Kerra on 5/7/2008 |

| Great Workout |
| Michelle is a great instructor, always positive. I love the fact that she comes up with different moves that are effective. You will defintely feel all your muscles getting worked. I don't agree with some of the reviews saying that her cueing is bad. Once you do this workout a time or two, you know what is coming. I for one don't like when an instructor stops the flow of a workout to show every move before she begins it. Keep of the great work Michelle. - posted by Brenda on 5/2/2008 |

| Really great workout |
| I have done this workout 6 times now and am totally amazed at how awesome it is. Great diversity of exercises, love the band, and no boredom factor here. Michelle is by far one of the best instructors- she is motivating but not in your face. I do not understand how any one can say she doesn't cue well - her cueing is great! I have all three of her "Your Body Breakthru" workouts and absolutely love them all. I can't wait for more MIchelle Dozois DVD's. Keep them coming Michelle. - posted by Sarah on 4/10/2008 |

| Good workout but bad cuing |
| I find myself stopping and rewinding this dvd several times in order to get the band in the correct position for the moves. Also, the camera pans away from Michelle to the other exercisers during some of the setups for the band. The exercises are good and effective, but take longer for me to complete due to the various set-ups and rewinding. - posted by Barbara K on 4/2/2008 |

| Good workout |
| I wanted some upper body toning and this one will work for me. Initially I was surprised to use the band and a weight but it can be done. Will be getting Michelle's other dvds. - posted by Paula on 3/27/2008 |

| Resistance band a welcome change |
| I workout using all of Jari Love's DVDs on a regular rotation basis, and was looking for something different to add to my routine. Michelle Dozois has designed a great resistance band program for both upper and lower body. Her cueing is friendly and clear, and the band that comes with the DVD is good quality. This is a good workout for an advanced beginner to intermediate exerciser, although there is an instructor modifying for beginners alongside Michelle. - posted by Amy on 3/24/2008 |
