Certified instructor description: Seven complete, boot camp-style workouts. This well-structured system of complementary programs is designed to burn fat and reshape your body. Each of the three aerobic workouts has a distinct style. “Classic Cardio” uses traditional mixed-impact aerobic favorites while “Cardio Strike” features lower-impact kickbox-style movements. “Cardio Blast” blends the two techniques with an emphasis on speed, endurance and coordination. They’re easy to follow, starting slowly and building to a more intense finish. The four targeted toning programs are designed for fast, efficient sculpting. “Hips, Thighs and Buns” mixes standing lunge, squat and plié moves with lower-body-focused floorwork. “Abs” includes a non-stop mix of traditional and innovative floorwork (e.g. “V-sit crunches” and “on all fours ab rolls”). “Shoulders & Arms” changes the angle or body position to target these muscles in different ways. Finally, “Chest & Back” features a concentrated medley of proven standing and floor moves. Gilad is both supportive and “demanding” -- his, no-nonsense, boot camp-style cuing is very easy-to-follow (he used to be a military fitness trainer). Requires 2 to 8 lb. dumbbells. Includes an exercise guide and eating plan. ©2001. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Gilad's Quick Fit System

Wonderful workout
I had this workout for years now. I just got the same workout but on the dvds. Love it. Gives you everything you need to get into shape. - posted by Diane on 4/12/2012
Gilad is great
I love the Cardio segments in this system. Everything is easy to follow, nothing too dancey. And Gilad is Hot, so he inspires me to get up everyday. He makes being over 40 easy to relate to. - posted by Sandra on 2/7/2012
Oldie but Goodie
I originally purchased on VHS and I loved it. Dropped a lot of inches and weight.... life took over and I stopped working out and gained weight back. I have begun this Quick Fit again and 3 weeks in and I have lost a lot of inches (I am 65). The exercise is for my cholesterol/and hi bp and this is doing it. I feel good and much healthier. This series is not for hard core advanced users; but rather lower intermediate user. I do work up a sweat and I have very toned arms now. Gilad has set up a simple and for me; intense workout. He is not full of himself either so I feel comfortable being clumsy at times. I love the view of the Island also (or is it him? hmmm) - posted by iris on 10/20/2011
Success
I have been working out with Gilad for a long time and I am now in my 50s. I have gained a few pounds since moving into menopause and needed something to give me an extra boost to lose those few pounds, so I ordered this Quick Fit system and am already seeing a difference in the way my clothes fit. I think this will be my favorite since it incorporates cardio and with the dvd toning workouts you can pick exactly what you want to do and what part of your body you want to work on for that particular day. In my opinion Gilad is the best!!! He keeps me motivated. - posted by Barbara on 12/2/2010
Four stars for the muscle toning, two stars for the cardio
Loved the toning exercises on this DVD. Classic Gilad - straightforward, no-nonsene, clearly cued and effective. None of the cardio segments did it for me though. I thought they were all way too easy (not Intermediate at all) and repetitive. I watch the clock each time I do them. But the toning is great. - posted by Marianne on 10/26/2010
Wonderful workout!
I already had two of the workouts that are contained in this program and loved them. They prompted me to get the full set. Gilad is easy to follow, the workouts are just the right length, and I always feel great afterward! I highly recommend these videos. - posted by Tera on 8/5/2010
Love it!!!
I am borrowing this set from my sister and I LOVE it!!!! Gilad is motivating and easy to follow. It gets my heart pumping and i am usually dripping in sweat by the time I am done. Its my favorite exercise DVD so far. - posted by Megan on 7/4/2010
Great system, Gilad is the BEST!
This system is very good. It is well rounded, and if you follow it, you will look like Gilad or that lady on the cover (if you want to, if not, use lighter weights). The aerobics are slightly challenging, but easy to follow once you get a hang of the moves. The first cardio is plain old aerobics "old school style", nothing crazy. The next two cardio videos remind me of cardio kickbox, but still, the moves are easy to follow and get your heartrate up. Gilad's toning workouts are great, too. You workout your chest and back; shoulders and arms; hips and thighs; and abs. I swear, I used every muscle in my body after going through the whole system. Also, people in his videos are very pleasing to the eye. Especially those men! Anyway, a guy can get a very good workout with this system, too, it's not just for girls. - posted by Beverly on 5/29/2009
I love Gilad!
All his videos are so great. I have tried a lot of aerobics videos and this is the only one that I like.It is easy to follow but is a challenging workout. I would highly recommend it! - posted by Ashley on 12/15/2008
Wow
The toning segments totally kick butt!!! You can't go wrong with these workouts especially the toning. - posted by Traci on 12/1/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Impact
X
Workout 1: Mixed
Workout 2: Lower
Workout 3: Mixed
Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
