Certified instructor description: Three segments: Aerobics plus arm toning, aerobics plus leg toning and pure abdominal sculpting. The high-rep aero/tone segments are fast-paced with short "cardio bursts" — a time-efficient format that burns fat as it reshapes your body. The aerobics are straight-forward and easy to follow — from familiar athletic moves to kickbox favorites. The toning intervals also use proven classics. But Jessica Smith boosts their effectiveness with quick-changing intensity, balance and rotational variations (e.g. progressive sequences like: curls, then curls with pliés, then pliés with a twist, etc.). The abwork segment features a varied series of Pilates-based exercises. Friendly, down-to-earth cuing. ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Jessica Smith 10 Pounds Down Better Body Blast
Good workout
I only gave this three stars because I prefer to have all the areas in one workout instead of spread into 3 different workouts. Had I read the description a little more carefully, I would have known better. It's still a great workout and doing the arms and legs section together is a great workout! Also, by the end of this workout, my elbows hurt so bad and were scabbed over by the next day...there should be a warning to use a mat or elbow pads! - posted by Tess on 5/3/2012

Great Instructor
Jessica is the epitome of a good instructor. Her cues are clear, she doesn't rush and she's just very appealing. I'm a working woman with a lot of responsibilities and extended workouts just don't fit my lifestyle so I'm in LOVE with 20 minute workouts that get my heart pumping and keep it there until the cool down. The days of working out to look good in a bikini are behind me; I just want to avoid middle age spread. - posted by Laura on 4/27/2012

I like this video alot!
I like to do longer workouts than just 20 minutes. The 3 workouts on this video are each 20 minutes, but I pair it with 25 minutes of running on the treadmill first, then go right into one of these workouts and it's a nice combo for me. Her ab workout is awesome! I've been working out for over 30 years, and consider myself advanced, yet this workout really had me feeling my abs for the next 2 days! The upper body workout is enough for me (again combined with running, or any cardio will do), and I feel like I got a good toning segment in. All high reps, tho, so a lighter weight is better for me. I will definitely check out any other tape she does in the future. She's easy to follow and likeable. - posted by Donna on 4/27/2012

This workout is GREAT!!!
I can't say enough about this DVD. The workouts target every muscle. I do this DVD everyday and walk 5 miles. I have lost over 25 pounds in 5 months. I feel great after working out with this tape. The arms are a killer, I love it. My arms feels so toned and look better everyday. The leg portion works areas that I haven't worked in a long time, the squats are amazing. I can't wait to buy another of Jessica's DVD. She is my new favorite!! Keep up the great work Jessica!!! you are the BEST!! - posted by Patty Ann on 4/23/2012

Not much to it.
This video was "okay." I was bored with it after doing it once--the moves are laborious and repetitive. - posted by Katherine on 4/23/2012

No nonsense toning
Love this video! I can work a couple areas or all three depending on the time I have. She has no nonsense movements that work major muscles and surrounding smaller muscles. I didn't need heavy weights to feel I'd worked hard. I prefer to use lighter weights when doing videos to avoid straining with the quick motion of some of the routines. I maintained a good heart rate, not breathless, and felt challenged throughout. It's a great toning workout! - posted by Libby on 4/19/2012

Wonderful instructor but didn't like workout
Jessica is terrific, but I no longer want to do abs on the floor, squats that are hard on my knees, and endless arm reps. I love entire body movement workouts rather than segmented. I should have known by the title. My fault. Glad that others like this though. - posted by Sharene on 4/12/2012

Amazing!!!
This was my first Jessica Smith DVD. I love it. Each 20 minute section gives you an amazing workout. I especially love the ab workout. This is my new favorite!!!!! Jessica is a great instructor and very motivating. - posted by Patty on 4/5/2012

Awesome Toning!
Jessica Smith is by far one of the best instructors and as always her workouts are fun, creative, and super effective. I did all three workouts and definitely felt sore the following two days. I absolutely love all three of the workouts and highly recommend this DVD. I also love her 10 pounds down total body tune up, it's intense! - posted by Amber T on 4/2/2012

kicked my butt!
awesome workout! I liked that it was a really targeted program, no fancy moves, but not boring either. You will definitely feel it the next day! - posted by Rachel on 3/23/2012

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.
