Michelle Dozois: The Ultimate Workout |
 As close to perfect as it gets |
| I have over 80 cardio DVDs and this is definitely one of the best. I love everything about it. The moves are athletic, easy to learn, but they work you hard. There's no boring "take it from the top". Instead, we learn a combo, repeat it, and then move on. That keeps it interesting and makes the time fly. Plenty of modifications and options are shown. Music is good. Michelle, please make more like this! - posted by Marianne on 11/14/2009 |

| love everything! |
| This is such a fantastic workout! I feel very athletic while doing it but still very fluid; unique and fun choreography by Michelle! The cardio flies by because she only repeats each sequence twice and then you move on. It's tough, but not too tough or long that I don't have the energy to move on to the strength section. The strength section is amazing too! Michelle doesn't waste any time with moves that don't totally work. I felt everything! And it's new and fun at the same time. I don't have a lot of money to spend on different equipment (know what I mean?!), so I tried it without the discs (or paper plated because I didn't have any on hand) and a kitchen chair instead of a high step. It worked out great and I barely had to modify. I'm an upper intermediate exerciser and sometimes couldn't do all the reps; it was hard! So don't skip this one just because you don't have the equipment. I love this DVD! Get it! - posted by Soledad on 10/27/2009 |

| A BIG WOW FACTOR ! |
| I just did THE Breakthru Ultimate workout!
I was concerned when I read about it that I would not be able to finish. But I was WRONG! I did the complete workout, of course, I modified some of the aerobics and I only used 5 and 7 lbs. but I completed it. EVERY MUSCLE WAS ATTACKED AND USED. I LOVED IT ! I pulled out my old discs and was surprised they worked on the rubber flooring. This is by far one of her best workouts ever.
I am grateful for the aerobics that she made easy to follow, yet very effective. My two left feet never got confused at all
I thank Michelle and my body thanks her. oh and thanks for the great stretch, I needed that at the end.
This is a workout that any level and any age can do with great results. - posted by Marsha on 10/19/2009 |

 Good, fun workout |
| For starters, I really like the cardio on this DVD. I don't like cardio generally, but I can get through this. It isn't annoyingly repetitive and the moves are relatively simple, athletic and effective. I think I may have actually had fun doing this cardio. The strength section is also pretty good. My one complaint is that in terms of the chest - back dichotomy, the chest is emphasized more than the back. If I do this workout, I feel I have to add a few additional back exercises to balance things out. The use of the gliding discs is a bit of an issue for me (since I don't have any). I find rags work better on my tile floors than the paper plates she suggests as an alternative, but probably still not as good as the discs. Overall, it's pretty thorough for a 30 minute strength workout. The stretch segment is nice too; not too short, not too long. The set for the workout is an improvement on the previous Breakthru DVDs - light, bright and calm, as opposed to the darker, almost industrial sets of the previous workouts. - posted by Jess on 10/15/2009 |

| One of my favorites! |
| The strength section is superb. New moves that really worked my arms, abs and legs. I would say this is more advanced. It was quick paced and I felt like I got a very solid workout in 30 minutes. She has you constantly using your abs throughout, so I didn't need to work them separately, which saved time. My abs were sore the next day, it was such a good workout. - posted by Emily on 10/11/2009 |

| Excellent!!!! |
| Absolutely amazing!!! I love how the disc forces you to use your front leg. I complete the entire dvd and need to take frequent water breaks because she's killing me lol. I am an intermediate exerciser using the firm wave system, taebo, tranfirmer, transfirmation, cathe and turbo jam. Compared to SOME of those series this is an advanced workout. Some of her routines remind me of turbo jam (cardio)and cathe workouts(weight routines). This workout is tough, doable and very well cued. This one is a keeper and will be in my regular rotation. - posted by Lisa, Ohio on 10/6/2009 |

| My favorite workout bought this year!!! |
| I agree with all the positive things said in the other reviews. I am a big fan of Michelle's workouts and I think this DVD is her best workout to date. I have done this workout many times already; sometime the entire DVD, but usually just the cardio or strength workouts and the stretch (which is also wonderful). The strength workout accomplishes so much in 30 minutes and really gets my heartrate up; I am drenched afterwards. I am using 8 and 12 lb dumbbells (I think the same as Michelle) and the workout definitely seems much more challenging than the intermediate rating it received. - posted by Barb on 10/1/2009 |

| There need to be more videos like this one! |
| I love this workout. Good, long cardio with non-dancy moves. You do a combination and then move on, so there's no boring "take it from the top". Music was pretty good. This is definitely going into my regular rotation! - posted by Marianne on 9/14/2009 |

| Excellent workout |
| This workout uses a lot of different equipment in creative ways! I really enjoyed how she used gliding disks for both upper body & lower body exercises. A lot of compound movements that were very different to me. Enjoyable. - posted by Barbara on 9/11/2009 |

| Good, Tough Workout |
| I'm a big fan of Michelle Dozois and thought this was a great and TOUGH workout! There are some super fast moves so even though I usually do videos at the intermediate/advanced level, this was definitely a challenging workout! My favorite video is her Best Body Circuit from this series but I look forward to this one becoming a close second! Only buy this video if you are prepared to work HARD and move FAST! Keep 'em coming, Michelle! - posted by Karen on 9/8/2009 |
