Certified instructor description: Three distinct 30-minute exercise techniques: dumbbells, rubber tubing and no equipment (just your body weight). Within each style, you also get three distinct body-part focuses: upper body, lower body and abs. This “nine-tool” mix-and-match format lets you select the exercises and muscle groups you want. Each exercise style has its own flavor and emphasis with lots of internal variety. The dumbbell routines are mostly classics. The tubing segments are innovative and often tough. The non-equipment exercises have a balance/core focus. As usual, Mindy’s high-energy cuing is easy-to-follow and always “appropriate” (i.e. she seems to know exactly what you’re feeling at the time). Requires a step and 2 to 10 lb. dumbbells. They use an Ultra-Toner tubing; a Dyna-Band tied into a loop will work. ©2005. DVD has: Chapter menus.

GREAT!

I usually do a lot of Cathe Frierich workouts but I also love Mindy. I was looking for a great strength workout that used little or no equipment that I could use for travel. This one is perfect! I did the tubing workout and it felt like a good workout. 30 minutes covered all the major muscle groups. I can't wait to try the other two (bodyweight and dumbbells). - posted by Laura on 8/2/2010

Excellent, Versatile Workout!

Excellent workout, with great versatility (i.e., equipment or no equipment, short or long, by body area or stretching). Mindy is not as "hyper energetic" in this DVD, which suits my style and lack of coordination just fine. One of the best fitness DVD's by one of the top instructors. - posted by Walt on 7/1/2010

Awesome

This workout KILLS and Mindy is a fabulous instructor...she incorporates new moves with tubing, body weight and weights, that aren't too complicated to learn but are advanced and dare I say fun! Great work, one of my fav dvds recently... - posted by Jennie on 3/17/2006

Wow

I seem to think that when I do toning I have to either use weights or tubing in order to get a decent toning workout in. The section of this DVD that does not use any equipment is amazing. It really worked me hard. The weights & tubing sections are also great. Worth the money! De - posted by De on 2/23/2006

excellent workout that can be used to fit your time.

The tubing workout is one of the best. My legs were on fire. I did the standing weight work with the tubing workout for about 25 mins and my legs were shaking to complete the workout. A definate keeper for me. Kim - posted by Kim Hughes on 4/26/2005

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
