10 Minute Solution: 5 Day Get Fit Mix |
  Pretty good! |
| Overall this is a decent workout! The best sections are the Cardio Kickboxing and Fat Blasting Intervals, they really have effective cardio and toning moves and are intense. I've given it a 4 out of 5 because the Abs section could be better. The standing ab toning with the hand weight aren't really effective toning moves. But overall, a good workout dvd to have. I'll definitely do this a couple times a month - posted by KZ on 12/17/2009 |

| Loving the mix! |
| This one has everything! Yoga, kickboxing, abs/core, intervals, sculpting and a great instructor. Amy is motivating, supportive and pushes you(or at least me :)) to give it your all. My favorite part is when she says..."You gotta think it, believe it and be it"! This one is my favorite in my collection...love it, love it, love it! Way to go Amy...keep them coming! - posted by Ms.Dee on 12/7/2009 |

| So - So |
| I have seen lots of positive reviews for her videos, so I finally got one to see what I'd think. Really, this is just so-so and not as much fun as some of the other 10 minute workouts. The new 10 minute solution kickboxing workout for example, is much better. These routines are just OK. There is variety which is nice and Amy has a nice manner about her. But I won't be doing this one, or segments of it, very often. - posted by Robin K on 10/9/2009 |

| This one has it all! |
| I love Amy, and I love this series. This one is even better than her "Hot Body Boot Camp", because this one has even more variety- it's perfect! From cardio kickboxing to yoga and interval training in between, you'll stay motivated. I have done this one many times in a short few weeks because Amy mixes this workout up just perfectly! My favorite segment is the "Fat Blasting Intervals: Amy is awesome about implementing unique and effective moves. - posted by Molly on 9/30/2009 |

| Great workout when you're short on time |
| I really enjoyed this workout. Amy is a great instructor and is enjoyable. I felt that these 10 minute sections gave you a good workout in a short amount of time. Or you could do them all together and get one excellent workout. I think that some of the 10 minute solutions DVDs feel frantic because they are trying to fit so much in in a little amount of time but this workout moved at a good pace and didn't feel rushed. - posted by Lisa on 9/16/2009 |

| Great interval training workout |
| Another winner from the 10 Minute Solutions camp. 3 of the 10 minute sections utilize dumbbells (the instructor, Amy Bento, recommends 5 pounds, but to listen to your body and adjust the weight as necessary) and these workouts combine multi-body part cardio and strength training, focusing on abs, and total body toning. It works by doing a series of reps with the weights, then 1 minute of cardio and repeating with variations for the full 10 minutes. There's a dedicated 10 minutes for cardio kickboxing, which includes some very fast paced moves, then a final power Yoga set.
It's a great way of working out, and as I also do the 10MS 'Knockout Body' I can use the weighted pink gloves on the 'Cardio Kickboxing' session, bonus! Getting to work arms and legs at the same time is a brilliant time saver and my only gripe, is the usually very high production values have slipped with the music overpowering Amy's instructing and also, 2 minutes into the 'Belly Fat Burner' workout, the camera angles start to dart around and the focus goes out quite dramatically. I'm genuinely very surprised this wasn't corrected before release, as I've come to expect alot more from 10MS. Once you get used to it though, it doesn't distract from the workout and the dodgy camera work/edit lasts around a minute.
Amy is fast becoming one of my favourite instructors as I find her cueing spot on, she's friendly and informative, motivating and really encouraging, 'how about getting a bit lower this time?' plus I'm pleased she's making less references to blood getting in the muscles, (as in her previous DVDs)as this always makes me a little oogy! - posted by Alli on 9/11/2009 |

| A Well-Rounded, fun workout |
| Although I have many 10 Minute Solutions, they are not my absolute favorite, mostly because I feel cheated afterward. The content may be good and the instructor qualified, but 10 minute segments simply don't seem to be enough to really accomplish a lot. This dvd, however, (along with Keli Roberts 10 Min. dvd) was really fun and I felt worked out after. It has a nice variety and was really fun to do. The toning section, while feeling very short, when combined with the other sections provided a well-rounded workout. You can also tell that Amy is not really an experienced yogi, but still, it moved along at a good clip and was a nice way to end the workout. Although it would have been even better to go a little faster through the few yoga flows and add in a little stretching at the end. Overall, I really enjoyed the whole dvd and although it was not the most strenuous workout ever, it was definitely not a waste of time. Amy is also so natural and easy to listen to and follow. - posted by Shelley on 9/5/2009 |

| Pretty good - love Amy! |
| This is excellent because the instructor is Amy and she is the best there is! However, I only really liked the aero/tone, cardio kickbox, and total body sections. But that gives me a great 30 min workout. I'd rate this one Int/Adv - its tough at some places. I did not like the abs routine or the yoga routine, mostly because of the music or the camera angles. Most of the ab routine is filmed from above Amy, looking down at her, and because of this I couldn't see all of the moves very well. How about a straight front view of Amy, as in the other segments? Its almost as if the camera folks were trying to get creative and do an experiment, but to me it did't work so well. The power yoga section is good except the music is awful. It sounds like "musak." Amy uses such great music in all her videos, I was surprised she let this one go through, unless she does not have editorial control. Otherwise, great workouts! What else can we expect from Amy? - posted by Cheryl on 8/29/2009 |

| Can't miss with this mix |
| I like to mix up my workouts and this workout fits the bill. If you do them all together you get a total body kick butt mix of a variety of exercises. This would also be a nice add on to do one or a few after a short workout or if you are pressed for time. It is true that each section is only 10 minutes, but there is no time wasted. The Cardio Kickboxing section is a heart pumping mix of kicks and punches with other cardio moves thrown in. Fat Blasting Intervals is a fun and effective mix of cardio and toning. There is nothing traditional about Belly Fat Burner, not a traditional crunch to be seen (or done) and I can really feel the work as I am doing it and the burn afterwards. Lean Body Sculpt is challenging since it requires you to balance in many of the moves and to utilize both the upper and lower body at the same time. I found the workouts to be fun, well cued, and the time flew. Amy Bento is a fantastic instructor (as a side point, the other 10 Minute Solution workouts she has instructed are awesome, too). She is motivating, reassuring and is easy to follow. I hope she continues to be featured in the 10 Minute Solution workouts. This collection or workouts is an asset to my exercise DVD library! - posted by Rebecca on 8/27/2009 |
