Certified instructor description: Fast-paced aero/tone interval programs that really are designed to “break plateaus.” They challenge your body in diverse ways while also featuring easily-intensified exercises (so, as you get stronger, you can increase the weight or impact levels). It’s all very straight-forward. The aerobic intervals range from high-impact jumping jacks to low-impact repeaters (sometimes holding dumbbells to maximize fat-burning). The toning intervals are exceptionally time-efficient. They feature compound exercises where you’re working multiple muscle groups at once (fast-changing, usually only 12 reps per routine). As always, Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s cuing is friendly and positive. DVD includes a short bonus stretch segment. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 5 & 10 lb.). ©2012. DVD has: 8 premixes (21 to 45 min. alternate workouts).

Kelly Coffey's 30 Min. to Fitness: Plateau Buster

Move over Jillian, there's a new gym-a-nista in town!
Let me say that I really like Jillian Michaels, have been doing her workouts for 3 years. But after a disappointing Hard Body workout, I wanted a change to a kinder, gentler leader. I love Kelly's workout! She is awesome, the workouts are great and the premixes are fantastic!! I also purchased her Your Best Body workout and really like those as well. The premixes are a great option and something other video producers should include. The first workout is good, really tough if you add the bonus moves. The 2nd workout kicked my butt and next time around I'll try it with the bonus moves. Love all the moves and it really made me sweat. I consider myself to be in very good shape, and I was definitely winded on workout 2. Kelly is fantastic, smart, and no doubt these workouts are very effective, especially if you use heavier weights. I use 7 lbs. Highly recommend! Keep them coming, Kelly! - posted by Sandra on 5/7/2013
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH KELLY
I am so glad that I discovered Kelly - she has such a nice presence. This is another great workout with different moves instead of the same ole same ole, and she gives just enough cueing without blabbing through the entire workout like some instructors. What I like most about this dvd is the 'premix' where you can combine both 30 minute workouts into one longer one if you want. Then you only do one warm-up and one cool-down for both workouts (instead of one each for each 30 minute workout) which makes the workout 45 minutes instead of an hour. Then, if you want, you have time to do the bonus premix of ab work - which I love, thus making it an hour workout. As always, use lighter or heavier weights depending on your level and energy that day. - posted by SandraD on 5/1/2013
Oh My Goodness
This is killer...but in a good way. You can never go wrong with Kelly. She had been coming hard since her first video and each video displays an increase in here level of expertise and fitness. This one had my body hot for an extended period beyond the workout which is good because I usually cool down pretty quick after a workout but with this one it was like I was standing in front of a heater. This is interval training at its best in my opinion. I have been working out since I was 16 and am now 46. I love weights, heavy and light, boot camp, circuit, yoga, Pilates and so forth. If I don't sweat within the first 5 minutes of working out then I don't consider it worth redoing. This one brings it home. Cardio, Resistance, pylometrics. Just a big ball of "do I have any sweat left in my body". Kelly explains how to breakthrough the plateau once your body becomes accustomed to the workout so it's a win/win workout. If you like intervals you will love this one - posted by NIcole on 4/26/2013
Kelly never disappoints!
I just recently discovered Kelly Coffey-Meyer and I'm becoming a big fan. The basic workouts on this DVD are 2 30 minute long mixed weights-and-cardio routines. The cardio portions really get my heart pumping (I'm not in the best of shape though) and the weight-lifting sections are compound movements designed to be easily modify-able by using lighter or heavier weights. Kelly is always fun and high energy and great with the cues. What I really like about this (and her other 30 min to Fitness DVD) is that you can mix and match the routines in so many different ways. Do just the weights from one, just the weights from both, the cardio from both, etc etc etc. It's a genius way to design a DVD and props to Kelly C-M for doing it!! - posted by Elissa on 4/26/2013
Great DVD!
Love this workout! Basic, easy to follow but makes you sweat. Love the premixes! You can do any mix of the 2 workouts you want. Great idea! - posted by VSgirl on 4/8/2013
yes! busting plateaus left and right!
i discovered Kelly fairly recently when i picked up her Start Here dvd back when i was first getting back into exercise.. i LOVE her! i think she's a great instructor, cuing is great, she demonstrates each move first then has you begin. she does all the exercises along with you. she's amazing and i will probably collect all of her dvds over time. this workout is fantastic, i love the style and pace. i take her advice and go heavy and let me tell you, it wipes me out in the 30 minutes! usually i want to exercise closer to an hour (or more) per session, but workout 1 is usually enough. today i had extra energy so i did both and was completely drenched (i love that! it's like proof of how hard you've worked when you go look at yourself in the mirror afterward! haha) anyway, this workout is working for me - i can fit into a pair of jeans i haven't been able to wear in 2 years! woohoo!!! i agree that it's intermediate level, but Kelly has a modifier so i think this workout might be ok for a beginner as well. highly recommended! - posted by Ariel on 4/3/2013
basic moves but awesome
This video is easy to follow. The moves are basic, but you will feel it; especially when you repeat the moves. There are no long breaks. Time is used wisely and you get a full workout. - posted by Katie on 3/28/2013
Plateau Buster
I really like this DVD. It truly does push you especially the aerobic sections. I like Kelly's style and the 30 minutes do go fast with her instruction. - posted by Terrie on 3/28/2013
Great quick , challenging workout
This DVD has very clear cueing and some challenging, but doable sequences. Just before you are about to cry "Uncle!" you are ready for the cooldown. It is billed a a plateau buster, but I use it on days when an advanced hour-long work out just seems too much. - posted by Fran on 3/14/2013
Great Workout
This has quickly become one of my favorites. Your going to have to work a little harder, but that's the whole point. Good cueing and low impact examples. You can mix and match workouts to do combinations you like. Highly recommended. - posted by Valerie on 3/14/2013

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.
sample time graph
Premixes
X
These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.
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.

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.
