10 Minute Solution Hot Body Boot Camp |
  just ok |
| I am a big amy bento fan, but this workout falls short. Like other reviewers have said, it's too fast and harried and she doesn't really dwell on one move long enough to sustain a benefit during the more muscle building oriented segments. I used to think the ab segment was good, but really the only part where you'll feel anything is during the mud crawl. the standing abs, as much as i wanted to like them, were not doing anything, despite me trying hard to put my mind into engaging abs while I did them. I do return to the "hot body cardio" segment every so often. It is a pretty high intensity 10 minutes, which comes in handy now and again, and amy's energy truly shines with cardio work. This dvd is fun to run through once or twice, but not really worth owning. - posted by heather on 7/14/2009 |

| Cueing??? |
| I like Amy. I have a number of her workouts and usually find them excellent. Not this one. The pace is very fast, in itself- not a problem. The problem is the cueing is lacking. For example, in the cardio segment, she says to do a shuffle step in a lunge, then back to base move. In fact, the move is a shuffle, into a lunge then into two alternating lunge jumps. This is just one example of a problem endemic to the whole program. Likewise, she offers very few form suggestions. How can you protect your knees on those jumping lunges? Or your back on burpees and mountain climbers? Or on jumping drop squats? I appreciate the workout is advanced, but that doesn't mean safety reminders or cueing need to be non-existent. In her effort to pack in maximum variety and work, she also doesn't give enough to get weights or change position in the weight workouts. At times, I just felt like I was moving frantically or rolling around. In general, I don't recommend this one. - posted by leeba on 5/28/2009 |

| Excellent !!!! |
| I ordered this dvd after watching a clip , because it seemed to be varied and energetic, and all i have to say is that it keeps its promises. Some of the reviews that i have read say that it's too fast blah blah blah!!! watch the whole dvd once , try the exercises that seem difficult and then you'll enjoy yourself while doing it.It definitely is a body changing workout. Go Amy!! - posted by Eunice on 4/4/2009 |

| My favorite |
| I am at an intermediate-advanced level and I LOVED this dvd. It's my favorite of the 10 minute series. It's great when I don't have time to get to the gym. Just two of the cardio segments leave me with a great sweat. This is perfect for someone who likes challenging, fast-past workouts. - posted by Erica on 1/3/2009 |

| I like it! |
| This is my first Amy video and I really like her style - no nonsense and motivating. I'm in the process of losing weight and I have a lot of joint problems and I found this workout to be fun, yet very challenging. Some of the moves are too fast for me, so I just modify. Some of the moves (like crawling under the wire) seem awkward too, but I'm working on mastering them. I really enjoy this workout and I think I'm getting good results. - posted by Karen on 1/3/2009 |

| I like It |
| This is a fast paced workout and a challenging one. This IMO is the best 10 minute solution program out on the market. - posted by Marie on 12/21/2008 |

| I Really Like This |
| Ok, this workout may not be for everyone but I really like it! The Ab Assault is fantastic...dynamic moves with weights to work the abs and the cardio sections are killer. The Rock Bottom section also has some innovative moves. The good thing about this DVD is that you can do 'rounds' of each section to make a circuit workout. It's a winner for me! - posted by Adam on 10/28/2008 |

| go amy! |
| RE Susan's review - I disagree about the stretch segment - I didn't think it was anything so great, however I totally agree with the comment about the "killer" cardio segment. (But killer in the good way). It is the one segment that I return to the most (like Keli Robert's cardio segment - also kills! A great way to spend 10 mins). Anyway I have to agree with other posters that the jerkiness of some of the transition moments in other 10 minute segments is a turn off. I do like Amy Bento's attitude and approach and I intend to bring her onboard my bevy of other workout dvds! - posted by mo on 10/26/2008 |

| Love this workout! |
| I was surprised by some of the negative comments. This is another great Amy Bento workout. The first section is intense cardio and the second section is cardio & toning. I like to reverse the order of these to get warmed up a little more before doing the all cardio section which is very advanced IMHO. I do Cathe and Amy workouts regularly and this is tough cardio! The other sections are outstanding as well, especially the lower body sculpting and abs workouts - whew! You are working. She has unique moves and as usual cues incredibly well. Amy makes you want to work hard for her, she's great. But that cardio...whew, its a killer! The stretch at the end is with a towel - its very effective if you concentrate on it. Great job, Amy! - posted by Susan on 10/15/2008 |

| Horrible |
| I agree with several of the other reviews. She went way too fast and did not cue well at all. It was also very hard on my back. I will definitely not be doing this one again. - posted by Laurie on 10/12/2008 |
