Get Sexy! Learn, Firm and Tone with Michael Carson |
  OK, but repetitive |
| This is an OK workout in terms of cueing, instruction, the moves, and getting a good workout, but it was very repetitive to me - the same moves and variations of the same moves over, over, and over. Also, I was disappointed in the "three" workouts that are supposedly on the DVD. One of them is just an introduction to the moves that you don't really need to use more than once probably. The second workout is basically just a shorter and easier version of the third workout; the moves in the two workouts and the order that the moves come in is basically the same - more repetition. I think this workout is definitely easier to follow than Patrick Goudeau's ball workouts, but for a nice, basic med ball workout I prefer the Gin Miller one. - posted by Barbara on 12/29/2009 |

| Really nice cardio workout |
| I really enjoyed this workout. The medicine ball targets the midsection while enabling you to get a great cardio workout with miminal impact. I wish the cardio portions of the workouts were longer, then it would be a 5 star for me. Michael is a great instructor. Highly recommend this one. - posted by Elaine on 9/22/2009 |

| Not For Bad Knees! |
| I bought this video because the level, impact, choreography, and toning emphasis listed were the exact specifications I was looking for. And, from viewing the clip, it appeared that this video would get my heart rate up, which I also desired. I am 54 years old, 133 lbs. and at a begin/inter to intermediate level; however, I have a knee problem. From viewing the clip, I was not able to determine how bad this video is for someone with knee problems. There is a lot of twisting, bending and lunging of the knees, while swinging a weighted ball. This video really hurt my knee. The positive aspects of this video are that it's fun, does get your heart rate up, targets the abs, and is relatively easy to follow, and I think it deserves a good rating. However, if you have knee issues, stay away from this one! - posted by Maria on 9/19/2009 |

| Make you sweat and loving it |
| I kept looking at this workout and wondering if I should purchase it. It had good ratings. So I decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. I sweat like crazy and he goes at a steady pace. When I felt myself getting tired I just kept pushing myself to keep going and the tiredness went away. I would definitely like to see him come out with another workout. - posted by Jane on 9/18/2009 |

| Excellent and my new Favorite Workout |
| I love this workout and logged on today hoping to find out if there were more workouts in this series. There is no boredom and the moves are really effective. Just love it. Thank you Michael and please make more of the same.

| The workout I've been waiting for |
| I am an intermediate exerciser, looking to get my heartrate up, sweat, and work my midsection. I have found all of this in this workout. I loved it. It was fun, there's variety, it went fast. You also have plenty of time to learn the moves, work them, without getting bored. I have tried kettlebell workouts and none compare to the workout that I got from Learn & Firm. I highly recommend. - posted by Joanne on 8/5/2009 |

| Don't judge a DVD by its cover! |
| Forget the cheesy title and cover - this is a tough workout! Michael Carson's careful instruction ensures that you maintain perfect form throughout, to get the most out of every move. I was surprised to get my heart-rate up so high in only 20 minutes and with minimal impact. - posted by RedPanda on 7/19/2009 |

| Great Workout! |
| A friend gave me the Get Sexy DVD a while ago. I had never heard of it and wasn't thrilled about watching because I already have my favorites. Plugged it in one day for a quick look and now I have a new favorite. This is an excellent workout tape! The instructor, Michael Carson, is easy to follow and knows how to motivate and encourage without being obnoxious. I really like how all the routines, cardio, etc, are geared towards strengthening the abdominals and flattening the stomach. Using the weight ball is a perfect way to maximize results in the 10 & 20 minute workouts. Get Sexy works for me because I can watch it over and over and never get bored. Are there going to be more Get Sexy DVD's? - posted by Markus on 6/28/2009 |

| Excellent workout! |
| I really enjoyed this workout. Michael is a very good instructor (and handsome to boot)! I couldn't believe how much I sweated during the cardio portions with just a 2 pound weighted ball...the full body movements really get your heartrate pumping. The standing and floor work are chaptered separately, so it's easy to do the 13 minute cardio and chapter jump over to the 16 minute advanced cardio...and with the warmups that go w/out stopping for a stretch (they just flow right into the main body of the workout) you can get a heck of a 30 minute cardio workout. The 10 minute section of "Sexy 7" moves are a great add on after the cardio. The toning/stretch portion of the 3rd workout was more complete than the 2nd workout, which was just ab work followed by a stretch. Definitely worth the money just for the cardio. I sure hope that Michael puts out addition workouts like this, with even longer cardio segments! - posted by Tia on 6/19/2009 |

| I love this DVD |
| Wow -- this DVD is making my stomach smaller. Michael Carson, the instructor, the music and the other ladies on the DVD keep me going. I first started out with a 4 lb ball -- I did it but it was much harder. I've since started using a 2 lb ball -- and now I can keep up the pace with them all. I will move back up to the 4 lb ball eventually though. I hope Michael Carson comes out with another DVD using the ball! I have another 20 lbs to go but this DVD along with other ones I use will help me get slimmer. Great job Michael!!!! - posted by Jacqueline (Jackie) on 6/18/2009 |
