Gilad's Body Sculpt Cuts & Curves |
  Very good DVD |
| This is an excellent DVD with the exception that there is no genuine abdominal W/O (a serious omission in my opinion). I love his clear and constant instructions on how to get the most out of each exercise--the correct posture; when to breath in and out; the continuous count; and the exercising of more than one muscle group at a time. I did not care for the resistance band as it cut into my upper arms. So I switched to weights and found them to work well for me. - posted by Shula on 3/16/2008 |

| Time goes by in a flash |
| This is one of a series Gilad has put out and is a great workout. The background is beautiful and creates - I find - an outdoor environment in the room you do your workout. The moves are interesting and give a great workout. I highly recommend it. - posted by Neda on 10/24/2007 |

| Great workout but no abs |
| Just received this video and did it for the first time. The workout was great but I was surprised Gilad did NOT include some serious hard abs at the end...even if he just did a few planks or crunches, it would have been better than nothing at all. Other than that I liked it. - posted by Sally on 8/16/2007 |

| I love this workout..BUT..... |
| This workout is challenging, fun, and is guaranteed to get results. The only reason that it did not get 5 stars is because the video froze in the last 2 minutes of the workout and would not play the cool down at all. The replacement that I got had the same issue and I am waiting on my 2nd replacement to see if it is better. The Core and More workout had the exact same issue. In this hard of a work out you NEED the cooldown and the freezing is very annoying. - posted by Amy on 8/16/2007 |

| Great no-nonsense workout |
| No fancy moves. All no-nonsense kind of exercises. Gilad keeps you moving as he gives very detailed explainations of each exercise. Highly recommended for everyone's library! - posted by Nicole on 5/17/2007 |

| Smart, Safe Strength Routine is a Keeper! |
| Good routine with plenty of room for modifications. I recommend this to anyone except a complete beginner, because you can really make this very effective provided you have some experience. I've been working out about 25 years so I know, for instance, that I can substitute "heavy" weights for the tubing. (I use 8, 10, and 12-lb pairs for the entire tubing section.) That allows me to get an excellent workout for my level. Someone who is not as strong can use the tubes and get an equally good workout. This is a nicely-paced workout showing excellent form and offering Gilad's usual excellent instruction, and it should comfortably fit into many viewers' libraries! - posted by Diana on 5/13/2007 |

| great |
| Love this workout. As another reviewer said,the resistance band makes a BIG difference on the tricep and lunge/squat work - I was very surprised! Great total body workout minus abwork that Core and More hits nicely. Another good one from Gilad. - posted by on 5/7/2007 |

| Short intense workout that packs a punch |
| Even though I felt some burn during parts of this workout, I first thought that it needed to be longer or have more leg work as I am used to the neverending lunges/leg press sessions with Cathe and Jari. Imagine my surprise when my arms, buns and legs were sore the next day. Many of the exercises Gilad does are the usual standbys of lunges, squats, etc but I believe the key factor is the use of the tubing in addition to his unique twist on the tricep area. If you do not feel this and are substituting dumbbells, try the tubing for the full effect. This is a quick intense workout that delivers without the dread factor. A good way to shake things up if you are used to Cathe and Jari tapes. - posted by Patty on 4/16/2007 |

| Good full body toning workout |
| I love Gilad's new series of dvds. They are professionally done and you can actually see what they are doing during all the moves. Cuts and Curves covers everything except abs (see Core & More). Great workout! - posted by Jenni on 4/8/2007 |

| A nice workout using a tube |
| I have a lightweight exercise band at home that I need to use during this workout because the heavier bands can be too much. I've really enjoyed this workout. - posted by Barbara on 3/28/2007 |
