Strong Body, Ageless Body |
  Good Workout |
| Overall I like this work-out, but it does have some problems. I never know how many of anything we are going to do. I prefer instructors who count or as least say how many reps. She is not consistant with her reps either. As far as the workout goes it will get your heart rate up. I would consider myself beg/inter and the first few times I did this tape it "hurt", but in a good way. I think her floor exercises are creative and mix it up just enough that you might feel it even if your pretty fit. - posted by Teresa on 5/31/2008 |

| I like the exercises done in the video however... |
| I agree, I did also notice she does more leg lifts on one side than the other...I don't care much for the music or the way the instrcutor talks during the workout. She does not give any tips on which weights to use...However, surprisingly, I do like the abdominal videos...I like the bar method/squeeze type workouts but wanted a video to supplement that uses weights...I don't think I could do this one...I wish I could swap it for something else! - posted by Joan on 5/11/2008 |

| somewhat disappointed |
| I am 56, working on getting better conditioned. I did this one for the first time today. Some of the camera shots of her doing the moves are WEIRD. She doesnt suggest lighter or heavier weights, for variation. Some of the moves I could NOT do,i.e. the floorwork moves; maybe as I get stronger. Her safety suggestions are good. I would rate this INTERMEDIATE, not for beginners who havent done muscle toning dvds before. - posted by vanessa on 4/15/2008 |

| great workout |
| This workout is really great but like another reviewer has mentioned, the "noises" and comments are at times a little odd. Other than that...I love the DVD..would buy it again. - posted by Melissa on 4/3/2008 |

| The only thing |
| I've been doing this regularly am enjoying this workout. I happened to notice this morning that she does 20 leg lifts on one side and only 8 on the other. This really bugs me in a dvd. Don't understand how this can be overlooked - posted by jf on 4/2/2008 |

| It's good except for one thing |
| I've been waiting to try this workout because of all the good reviews. My only complaint is that during the moves, she doesn't give you a chance to use a different weight than she does. She uses the same one and goes quickly from move to move. I'm having to pause to reach for a heavier weight and that can get old. Maybe I'll just start using the one weight like she does. If she had just taken a little breather in between exercises for weight change, I'd give it 5 starts, but will give it 4 instead. - posted by Laura on 3/22/2008 |

| good workout |
| I'm sorry to say that I'm the first reviewer to say I don't much care for the trainer. She's good at cueing and proper form, but I found myself getting quite annoyed with her talk and her "noises." In spite of that, though, the workout is very good, very thorough. One thing I wish were provided would be tips on whether to use light, medium, or heavy weights in any particular exercise. That's the way The Firm does it, and it helps me to gauge what I'll be needing. Instead, Erin uses the same set of weights through the whole workout. I think most people like to use heavier weights on the lower body exercises and somewhat lighter ones on such muscle groups as the shoulders. (JMO) To make it a bit easier or shorter, you could do fewer sets because of how often the sets are repeated before moving on to the next set. - posted by Laurie on 3/19/2008 |

| Great workout! |
| I'm glad I bought it. I only have 30 minutes max to work out in the morning, as I have to leave early for work, and just no time in the evening. I do the warmup, then the standing toning section, and stretch one day, then the warm-up, floor toning section the next day, or I can do warm-up and two of the standing toning, and then floor, then stretch, I can always work it in. Minimal set-up, and my body always feels it the next day, especially my lower body which needs it most, and I just used 7 lbs. dumbbells, and did not do the harder version. Great workout, Great Price. I will be doing this alot. - posted by Nessa on 3/7/2008 |

| Perfect for me!!! |
| Erin has put together a thorough full body workout!! I love that you get a challenging workout with minimal equipment. Erin has a great personality and really knows her stuff!! This workout is exactly what I was looking for and there is no dread factor when it comes to doing it. It left me pretty sore the next day in all the right spots!! A must have!! - posted by Dee on 2/28/2008 |

| Love it, love it, love it! |
| By far my favorite weight workout. Cardio paced weight workout that works the entire body in under 45 min. Very little down or set up time. Great instructor. Advanced weight trainers might find it too easy but I consider myself int/adv and got a great workout, and it's hard for me to find a weight wotkout that doesn't have a dread factor. Oh and did I mention I love this dvd? - posted by jf on 2/27/2008 |
