Certified instructor description: A fast-moving, fast-changing workout — eight full cycles of aerobics alternated with toning. Nothing fancy — just clear cuing and easy-to-follow exercises. The cardio intervals begin low-impact, then quickly advance to a higher intensity (often with an even-more-challenging optional modification). The toning segments feature classic body-sculpting exercises like tricep push-ups, side planks and rows. That's followed by a short "recovery" period before you start the next cardio interval. It all ends with a core toning segment. Requires 2 to 10 lb. dumbbells; a step is used for some toning (but a chair will work). Gin also wears a weighted vest. ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Gin Miller's Short Circuit Workout

Short and sweet

Since this DVD combines aerobics and resistance it's a real time saver. I do it in addition to Gin's step aerobics for a great, all-over workout. Love Gin as always. - posted by Laura on 4/20/2012

love it

I love this workout. It's a circuit workout that can be accomplished in 30 minutes, and modifications are shown for those who want lower or higher intensity. I don't enjoy complicated choreography so this was ideal for me. Even my husband liked it, and he's hard to please! By the way I consider myself a solid intermediate exerciser, and I thought the intermediate rating is right. - posted by Barb on 4/2/2012

booooooo!

hugely disappointed! basic moves with absolutely no variation, didn't even break a sweat, complete waste of time. BORING!!! - posted by Lisa on 3/24/2012

Okay but...

I am a huge Gin Miller fan but lately I've been a little disappointed by her offerings. This one is just "okay." I don't dislike it but I don't love it. She does a lot of talking that could be done in a separate section for those who need more instruction, and I felt like I was just standing there a lot of the time. As a result, it's not that tough of a workout. Gin's older stuff has me sweating and breathless, and that's what I'm looking for, but this doesn't do it. And I'm 54 years old. This might be better labeled a "beginner" level workout. - posted by Chris on 2/24/2012

Very Simple....but I think effective

First of all let me say I'm a "Ginatic" so it's very rare that I find any fault with her workouts. This is effective, simple and to the point. It alternates between cardo and strength and at the end I'm not exhausted, but I do feel that I had a good workout. I do an extra 15 minutes to keep with my 45 minute exercise routine, so the only thing I'd like to see is a possibly longer workout and the use of the step as in the Step circuit challenge workout. Otherwise, I like it! - posted by Mary Ann on 1/12/2012

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

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

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.

Aerobics choreography

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

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

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.
