Amy Bento's Hi-Lo Dome Challenge |
 Lot's of FUN!! Great Sweat!! |
| This is another great one from Amy! I planned to just preview this one before trying it, but the music is great and it looked so fun I had to get up and try it! The combos are fun, my heart rate was up and by the end it left me very sweaty. I also liked to intervals after each combo. I didn't mind the turns, because I simply just didn't do them if I didn't like them in the combo. I agree with someone else that each combo is done just enough to not get boring. I haven't tried the dome workout. I really like this one, and I find myself reaching for this DVD even when I have others planned for my rotation. Amy is definitely my new favorite instructor for advanced/challenging workouts!She has great energy in this workout. I hope she keeps them coming! - posted by Ericka on 4/6/2008 |

| Great Cardio Workout! |
| As usual Amy delivers again with a great cardio workout, similar to Kickbox X-treme and Hi-Lo X-treme! Her moves are challenging and fun and I'm drenched with sweat when done with this workout. The cardio has four 10-min combos, each followed by an interval, and then she combines 1&2 and 3&4. Be advised that Collage's time chart is a little off - hope it gets corrected! The total Hi-Lo cardio workout time is 67 minutes, with a 7 min warm-up, 48 minutes of cardio, a 3 min cool down, and a wonderful 9 min on-the-floor stretch. I rely on those times because I like to know how much more of a push I need to make it through! On the cardio I followed Collage's chart and thought I would be done after 40 minutes of cardio, but there were 8 more minutes - I really had to push myself, kep wondering, "when is it going to end?"!! Amy is fun and motivating, great to work out to! I love Amy's cardio workouts, you have to work your heart out. I feel so accomplished after completing this and all of her workouts! - posted by Cheryl on 3/3/2008 |

| I love her HI/LOW |
| This is an excellent workout. I don't think the choreography was hard to pick up on -by the 2nd time I could nail almost all of the moves. I also enjoy HI/LOW Extreme and I think this workout might be just a little bit easier (not much- just a little!) than the extreme. I have 3 of Amy's workouts and I love them all. They are intense but not too long. This one was probably the best space wise. Some remarked about the turns in this one but I don't think it's a problem b/c if you can't do the turns it is super easy to modify and really does not effect your heart rate. Her moves are original and very high energy. - posted by Amanda on 1/22/2008 |

 Great Cardio, Lame Dome Workout |
| I rarely ever review a workout the first time I try it, but this one was exceptional! It reminded me of the older Christi's (Still Jumpin, Hi/Low Heaven), with a little athletisism thrown in. I agree with Angela, that the hi/low was easy to catch on to and a lot of fun. I also didn't think the combos were overrepeated like in most vids. I'm advanced and I found that my heart rate stayed at a higher level and once I master the routine, this will be a great cardio workout. My only dislke was the dome section. I felt it wasn't enough of anything to be effective. My tail bone was hurting, because I have a step bench, so I move to my carpeted floor. This would be the perfect video if she would have just put in a good ab workout after the hi/low, imo. Overall, the hi/low is a great calorie burner, a lot of fun and easy to catch on to. I will just throw in a different weight workout after instead of the dome. - posted by Cam on 1/11/2008 |

| Fun Cardio Sweatfest! |
| HiLo has never been my thing. I love Amy's HiLo. This one is not as complex nor did it have as much of a learning curve for me as HLX (love that one as well). The choreography is fast, fresh, and fun. The music rocks. The impact is varied. This is a fabulous steady state cardio workout. I found a bit of an interval quality to HLX but this one just kind of keeps your heart rate up there the whole time. The dome section is short but good. It isn't effective in my opnion as a stand alone workout but it is great for an add on or for a short workout on an active rest day. I think Amy would do a great job producing a full length bosu workout. Even if you don't own a bosu or don't use the dome portion, this workout is worth the purchase for the fabulous hilo! - posted by Angela on 1/7/2008 |

| Great Cardio workout |
| I just received this workout and did it the entire way through with out stopping. Amy really keeps you going. I enjoyed this workout just as much as her other Hi/lo workout. I also found this one was better space wise. Amy's music is always the best. The Bosu section is a quick fun section I'd have to use it as an add on but I enjoyed it. - posted by Ann on 12/24/2007 |

| Exactly what I have been looking for !!! |
| This video was easier for me to pick up the steps than Amy's Step Challenge 2 dvd. Be warned though that the moves are high impact, and so there is a great deal of jumping. Amy video's are the first video's that I felt were worth the money, and the music keeps me motivated. It takes time to learn the moves but definately worth the patience! - posted by Maria on 12/21/2007 |

| Frustrating and Dizzying |
| I agree with the others who gave this workout a low score. The choreography was complex especially with all the turns. I'm a low advanced exerciser but I really enjoyed her KBX and HLX workouts. This wasn't much fun. - posted by Yolanda on 12/18/2007 |

| Fun and Fantastic |
| I used to be an instructor I am 51. I no longer teach and workout at home. This workout had me captivated from beginning to end. The moves Amy puts together are fun,fresh and athletic. I had no problems with turning at all. In fact I followed the modifer only one time. A very wonderful Hi/lo from Amy I think it's on par with HLX by far. Highly recommend this one. - posted by Jane on 12/18/2007 |

| LOVE IT!!! |
| I bought both Challenge and Xtreme version of Hi/Low. I decided to do Xtreme first and I can say that it is complicated. I couldn't get through it all, but I WAS enjoying myself with Xtreme. I wasn't going to try Challenge until I mastered Xtreme, but curiosity got the best of me. I did Challenge today and I LOVE IT! I not only got the moves on my first try (give or take a few steps) but I made it through! I enjoyed Challenge a lot more than Xtreme. I don't understand how people can say that the moves are too complex...I was able to pick up on it right away. I was totally blown away. I can now say that I am turning into a Amy Bento fan. I can't wait to try Slo Mo!!! - posted by Glenda on 12/17/2007 |
