Amy Bento's A Team Boot Camp |
  A bit disappointed |
| I have a couple of Amy's cardio dvd's and absolutely love them - she's generally very unique and creative and her choreography is challenging. I don't see that at all in this video. Yes, you do get your heartrate up during the six 2 minute intervals, but they're boring, repeating the same two or three simple moves over and over again. The toning sections are equally unimpressive - not challenging at all. I'll stick to Amy's cardio vids, but will stay away from her "weight training" as this left much to be desired. - posted by Stephanie on 9/10/2009 |

| LOVE IT! LOVE LOVE IT! |
| This workout is a FANTASTIC workout for my "long days". I typically would do this on one of my weekend "long" workout days throughout the winter. I love interval training and this one is 5 stars! I'm sore the next day, but in a good way! I love the 2 minute cardio bursts! While Amy is a little goofy with some of her comments, WHO CARES?! The workout definitely works you out head-to-toe! I consider myself an advanced person and this is an advanced routine but it pays off! SO WORTH SPENDING THE MONEY! - posted by Julie on 9/5/2009 |

| Pretty Decent |
| I would definitely say the strength segments in this workout are intermediate- definitely good for lighter days for those of you who are advanced. However I did love the strength exercises, and they were easy to follow. The cardio was great but I wish there were MORE cardio in this workout. The total amount of cardio would be about 12 minutes. I add more cardio on before I do this workout. Not a lot of ab work and the ab moves she does are not that effective IMO. But the pikes at the end are great. This will be a workout I will most likely keep using, but I wish it had more cardio and I wish the strength had longer reps. - posted by Mandee on 8/12/2009 |

| I like this one |
| I like the two minute intervals. Then take the heartrate down with lower and upper body weights, and abs. Then, on to another two minute interval, weights, abs, repeat six times. I like this workout. It's fun. - posted by Elizabeth on 6/27/2009 |

| Not bad, but still like Cathe better |
| I did this workout for the first time, and enjoyed it for the most part. I did find all the "Whoo-hoos!" to be annoying and occasionally distracting. I think that Amy is in great shape and motivating. I'll probably try her videos again, just to change things up from the Cathe workouts. I typically do heavy cardio and weights 5-6 days a week, so I found this video moderately challenging. - posted by Kelly on 5/12/2009 |

| Fantastic workout! |
| Amy is a great instructor. Whoever said this is an intermediate workout is not really doing the cardio intervals! Those are extremely intense and awesome. Her weight work is unique and varied. I love the format and Amy's style. She allows plenty of stretching between and after exercises, which is so important and so many instructors skimp on. Thanks Amy - I love this one! - posted by Susan on 9/11/2008 |

| Great format |
| I liked the format of this video: Cardio, lower extremity strengthening, upper extremity strengthening and then abs. I do feel that she overdoes the quadriceps and omits some other smaller muscles so when she is doing her mini cooldown after the cardio I add some other exercises on my own. I did not find the video that difficult but it is not boring and I don't dread it. I liked the ab exercises and how the segments are timed. It makes it very doable. I wish there were more videos set up like this. - posted by Lucia on 4/26/2008 |

| challenging! |
| I'm an advanced exerciser and the first few times I did this workout, I thought I was going to die. Maybe because it was different from what I'd been doing, or maybe it's challenging on it's own, but either way, it was difficult. It became a little less challenging the more I did it, but that's not to say it's easy.
Amy has great energy and I love her on-screen personality. Another keeper for me! - posted by CD on 4/1/2008 |

| I think I am crazy |
| I am a lover of Cathy, think she can't be beat, but you need a switch now and then. I read all your reviews and just can't see where everyone is coming from. The only thing hard on this tape are the six two minute intervals. They are tough and you breath hard, but then cool down forever and the minute intervals aren't that breath taking. The two minute thing should be a minute and then move quickly along. She has two moves with weights that were different, but after the two minute interval this just moves to slow. I am a Weight Watcher and sure couldn't get alot of points on the point booster for this one. Not for me, Cathy, Jari, now I will try PK. - posted by Bon on 2/26/2008 |

| Intermediate --- NOT! |
| This DVD is exactly as it is marketed to be -- ADVANCED. It is not a 'light' day workout as another reviewer claims. I rotate between Amy's and Cathe's DVDs -- both great instructors for advanced exercisers. Each drill begins with TWO minutes of highly intensive cardio (Cathe's boot camp is one minute) which includes intense plyometrics that intermediate level exercisers will have trouble completing using proper form or without modifying. The weight training is varied and she works each body part to exhaustion. With all that said, I do wonder why she uses the resistance tubing for only one excerise -- skip it and use hand weights. Her companions in the class do not bother me, well, because I do not even look at them...I stay focused on Amy and what I'm accomplishing. - posted by Lynda on 1/26/2008 |
