| good as add-ons |
| I agree with the reviewers who said the segments alone are not really rigorous enough. But, I like to use the 20 minute segments as add-ons to other tapes. For example, you can add the dance segment on this tape on to the cardo portion of one of Donna Richardson's 30 Days tapes, or you can add the toning part on to something like Crunch Boot Camp or one of the Denise Austin Blast Away segments. - posted by B on 6/22/2004 |

| Okay, but not very intense |
| Hi, I purchased this DVD awhile ago, and I must say that initially I enjoyed the DVD, however as I continued to use it, I found that my body adjusted to the exercise and I didn't feel that any results were occurring. I prefer something a little more intense where the next day I can feel that I worked hard. - posted by Charlene on 3/4/2004 |

| Good for a quick workout |
| This is good if you have 20 minutes to work out. I've done 2 or 3 segments at once, and there is not a smooth transition b/c segments, as you're warming up before and cooling down after each one. For me, an avid exerciser, 20 minutes is not really enough, but I'll do one on my 'not really working out aerobically' days. I have to say I am sore after that circuit toning segment, and I lift weights at the gym several times a week. The dance segment is fun, the kickboxing is ok. I do like Donna, she's adorable and perky but not annoying. - posted by Karen on 12/3/2003 |

| Excellent Morning Workout |
| This was my first Donna Richardson tape, and I am very pleased! She gives off excellent energy and great personality. Her enthusiasm gets you pumped, and that is essential in a morning workout! The dance section was fun...very easy, repetative movements, but still fun. As others have noted, realize that this is not an high impact or advanced exercise tape. However, if you're looking for a total body workout that's quick and can be done when you just want to squeeze in a workout...this is the one! - posted by Jessica on 6/25/2003 |

| Not Bad, but Not Great |
| This is my third Donna tape, and my least favorite (the other two are 4-Day Rotation and 30 Days to Thinner Thighs.) The first part gives you a pretty good total body workout. In the second part, Donna's enthusiasm is infectious, but I wish that one girl in the green would shut up .. she whoops it up and yells out so many comments and instructions it makes me wonder who's teaching this class. I've done other kickboxing tapes, and I don't think Donna gives enough instruction on form, etc. Finally, the dance aerobic section is pretty basic, nothing new here. Overall, not a bad tape, but not great either. - posted by Debbie on 5/3/2003 |

| Not as pleased as the rest |
| I debated on this one after reading some of the others reviews...and I chose wrong when I purchased it. She carries the "dancing" aspect of her work out into the other areas (do I really need "funky hips" while doing kick & jab). I bought the DVD for a dance type work out...but only wanted one section of it. If I wasnt a former dance instructor, I think I would have problems following the DVD since, in my opinion, she doesnt give very good instruction. - posted by Melissa on 4/22/2003 |

| So-So |
| I think this tape is good for people who are a little more in shape and are looking for a quick routine to maintain (i.e., business travellers, etc). I can't seem to get into it as much as I thought I would, but I plan to keep it, because I think the 3 segments could serve as light day workouts once I'm in better shape. - posted by Tamara on 4/7/2003 |

| Great Video! |
| I bought this DVD about a year ago, and it's still one of my favorites. The twenty minute time segments make it possible to fit in a workout in the morning before work. I love Donna because she's really happy to be working out. I like the class atmosphere since the other women all seem to be having so much fun as well, and it makes you feel like you're not a complete klutz. As for the "hooting and hollering" of the other women, I find it enjoyable. If you don't, just set the DVD to "instuctor cueing enhanced" and all you hear is Donna's instruction. The DVD is also great because you can string the workouts together in any order, as well as doing the bonus advanced workouts (similar to the regular, but a bit more challenging and with no class around Donna). - posted by E.J.G. on 4/1/2003 |

| Fun and Energizing Workout! |
| This was my first Donna Richardson Video and I am sorry I didn't try her out sooner! I did all three components of this workout today and found it to be fun and effective. I don't usually like workouts over 45 minutes but the hour was up before I knew it. After this workout I am definitely going to try out some other workouts from Donna. I highly recommend this video! - posted by Pam on 3/23/2003 |

| Fun!!! |
| I have never heard of Donna Richardson and read the reviews on her and carefully looked over her exercise tapes. I decided on the 3 day rotation because of what it provided and the segments were not lengthy. I absolutely love this video! I found Donna to be a nice change to whom I usually work out to. All I have to say is it is alot of fun and the 20 minutes seem to go by faster then that! - posted by Shelley on 3/23/2003 |
