Jump Force |
 A real fun calorie burner! |
| I love this workout! It is structured like a bootcamp class using the step and a jump rope. Each movement is done for one minute. There is so much variety, the time flies by! It is challenging but do-able. I followed the advanced exerciser most of the time, but followed the intermediates for some of the time when I got tired. I wore a heart rate monitor and it kept my heartrate up! I also like the set - there was visual interest, which I like because stark sets bore me after I do the video a few times. I am ordering more of Annie's workouts now. - posted by Bethany on 1/9/2012 |

| Great Cardio Circuit Workout! |
| I love this DVD. My heart rate was kept up the entire time! The strength training part of this workout can really be as easy or as hard as you want it to be. Even though she imposes weight limits for many of the segments, I used slightly higher weights and just slowed down the movement to really work my muscles. Then it was back to hi energy cardio! Because I'm an advanced exerciser, I know my limits and I'm able to make those accommodations. Even following the limits she recommends, you're bound to get one heck of a workout. I like the ease of the choreography in this....no fancy "steppy" steps to learn. The changing after one minute keeps my attention and the time really flies by. By the end, I'm one sweaty mess and I love it! - posted by Mindy on 10/6/2011 |

| Love this one! |
| I have 3 or 4 "force" w/o's and this one is the best and the toughest! She has a beginner and an advanced mod and Annie does the intermediate level. I do some stepping while she does the weight only moves because I use this as a cardio w/o. Following the advanced mod, using an 8 inch step, and stepping while she does weight moves made this an advanced w/o! The jumprope moves are of course, high impact but that's a given. The step moves she does, are low impact though. There is very little jumping onto the step-just stepping up and down. And I still got a great high intensity w/o even w/out jumping on the step. And I only used 1# db's throughout. The only negs are the echo-ing and her yelling is a bit much. DH walked in to specifically tell me "shes annoying" and then left the room LOL. - posted by lindseylu8 on 10/21/2009 |

 Better than I expected! |
| I tried Cardio Force and traded it quickly- too boring and too slow. This workout definitely gets me sweating more and I feel it is more effective. I kept with the advanced option through most of it. Easy to follow moves and the 1 lb weights REALLY make a difference. You can feel you are burning more calories even with the most basic move. I definitely recommend it over her other "force" workouts. - posted by Mandee on 10/2/2009 |

| good cardio with some (light) weights |
| This is a cardio workout with different intensities. Time just flies. I love to run and jump and I had a ton of fun doing this workout even without a jump rope. The variety is great and the moves are athletic, easy to follow (but not easy to keep up). She uses light weights for added instensity which works well, especialy when rotating to work the core, but don't think you get a strength workout from this. It is very fast-paced, so keep your heavy weights for another day. I thought this was a nice addition to my rotation and felt really good after the workout. I also tried Cardio Force but liked Jump Force much better. - posted by holly on 9/28/2009 |

| Wow! |
| Wow! This workout is Easy but HARD!! I mean that the moves(choreography) are easy-simple steps and moves-but this workout is HARD! 60 seconds on each move. I liked that it could be a 25,30,35,40,or 45 min cardio and you can pick 2, 10, 20 min stretch! Good workout! - posted by TracyAZGirl on 7/30/2009 |

| Excellent Workout! It does what it promises! |
| This is a wonderful workout and one that I am so glad to have purchased! In fact I own all 4 of her DVDs (Core, Cardio, Life, & Jump Foreces)! I will agree at times that her voice or the echoing does get to you, but you are so focused on the moves and the intensity, it is very easy to block out! I find that with other instructors that isn't always the case bc you are not being challenged enough, therefore you focus on the instructors flaws instead. This DVD is rated "MIXED" impact and you should expect that. I have no idea why someone was complaining about that! This DVD also features 3 levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced so you can choose your own intensity of impact level. The moves themselves are basic, but that does allow you to put more emphasis on the intensity and trust me, there is a ton of it! You want a workout that's going to push you past your comfort zone and FORCE you to work harder, this DVD, and series is for! I am so glad I purchased these! When you put this one in the DVD player, be prepared to work and sweat! The set and clothes are nothing special, but the workout is amazing! You can't go wrong with Anni! She is now one of my new Favortie instructors next to Cathe Friedrich! - posted by Julia on 1/29/2009 |

| Good workout |
| A workout has to be perfect for me to give it 5 stars, but this came close. What didn't work: the instructor walking around the room and yelling, strange breathing in some parts of the cool down. What did work: everything else! I don't normally like workouts that are high impact, but I'll make an exception. I liked that the choreography was very basic. No more tripping up over my own feet, so like the other reviewer said, NO MORE EXCUSES. It can be as tough or as easy as want it to be, and even if you decide to go light, you won't feel alone doing your own thing because there's someone on-screen showing you the moves. I like that there's something for everyone. - posted by Sadie on 12/17/2008 |

| Too much impact |
| This should be rated high impact. Very, very stressful on the joints. Echoing sounds of instructor's voice throughout the workout. Have tried all 3 of her Force dvds & they just miss the mark--too much impact or too little cardio...too little or too much of so many different things. - posted by Leigh on 11/11/2008 |

| Love it! |
| I agree with the poster who said this is a hidden jewel.I did this workout for the first time today. WOW this one had me sweating bullets. The moves were unique. Don't be fooled by the light handweights. This one will work you. - posted by C.M on 5/2/2008 |
