Certified instructor description: A well-structured aero/tone interval workout that features four different techniques and intensity levels. It’s all carefully sequenced to keep your heart rate elevated while you build lean muscle. Each ten-minute circuit progresses from toning to aerobics (and back again). The beginning interval is “base” - simple strength training. “Ascent” is next; it uses more advanced toning exercises. Then it’s “climb” — a challenging blend of multi-muscle toning and mixed-impact aerobics. The circuit ends with “peak” — 15 seconds of full-on, high-impact cardio (e.g. “scissor jumps,” “frog jumps”). Superb production and excellent cuing. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 5 lb and 10 lb.). ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Michelle Dozois' Peak 10 Cardio Strength
My new favorite dvd
I loved this workout! Just did it this morning & the time went by so fast. I found it was challenging but I wasn't totally wiped out afterwards. I have Michelle's other videos & I really like her energy. This video has lots of variety - no way you could get bored (and I do get bored easily). I look forward to doing this workout along with her Peak 10 cardio interval. - posted by Vanessa on 5/22/2012

It's killing me!
And I mean that in a GOOD way! I am 53, and I got a bit out of shape on my last 18 months at my job before I quit. I find this the perfect workout to do when I must remain on the computer for hours at a stretch. One 10 minute segment at a time to build endurance. The cueing is excellent, and I love the mix. Before attempting a segment, you may want to watch it through first, so you know what is expected, then you can plan in advance how to adapt if you're not quite up to doing a particular exercise. I am not very fast at burpees or frog jumps/squats, but I just do what I can. My heart loves it and I think it's begging for more! - posted by Susan on 5/20/2012

Love It!!!
I absolutely love this DVD. I just discovered Michelle Dozois. I own several exercise DVD's(The Firm, Cathe, Jari, etc.) and have been working out to them since the early 80's, so I am a pretty seasoned exerciser. I found this DVD to be exactly the challenge I was looking for. She is excellent at cueing, and I like the format - it's different! - posted by Robyn on 5/7/2012

Good Solid Workout
This is my first Michelle Dozois workout and I am impressed. Although it is rated advanced, I found it to be more high intermediate. I like the way the cardio segments build in intensity, but would like just a bit more time in the high end. I love the metabolic training approach and this workout fits the bill. The time goes quickly and there is no dread factor to this one. Michelle cues well and is likeable without being too perky. I will definitely buy more Michelle (my collection contains mostly Cathe, Kelly Coffey Meyer, and Amy Bento). I recommend this one! - posted by Cindy on 4/27/2012

So Much Fun!!!
I am an avid exerciser. I own many videos, mostly Cathe Friedrich, The Firm and Jeri Love. I had never tried Michelle Dozois before and wow! It is such a good workout and so much fun! I have done the video three times now, so the more familiar I get with it the more I will get out of it. Michelle suggest two sets of dumbbells: a pair of 5lbs and a pair of 10lbs. I am not there yet, but that is my goal. I plan to incorporate this video into my routine about twice a week. - posted by Robyn on 4/19/2012

Great workout!
Michelle Dozois has become one of my favorites. I have a couple of her Peak 10 DVDs and find her amazing. It has great music, challenging workout and she is a bundle of energy. She is unique in the way she can make advanced workouts fun. I also like that she admits in the video that she and her team having been doing the workout for eight weeks--it may take time to work up to it. - posted by Julie on 4/19/2012

A Must Have
Michelle Dozois has a great formula here and executes it well. Lots of current research is demonstrating the effectiveness of metabolic circuits, the basis of this workout. Each of the circuits contains short but intense strength training followed by peak cardio blasts that make you really appreciate the "rest" afforded by the "ascent" phase. The moves and combos are all innovative (something a long-time exerciser like me doesn't always find!) and Michelle's cuing is superb. I'm going to buy more of these! - posted by Judi on 4/12/2012

PEAK 10: A CHALLENGE YOU CAN DO!
Cheers to Michelle for her Peak 10 series. Bravo to her for not cheating us out of a good stretch after this challenging w/o. Each of the blocks offers challenges to strength and cardio. The "Ascent" is the only portion she uses weights. She'll work out one side head to a "Climb," "Peak" and return to "Basecamp." She does not spend much time there (<30 sec), so if you need more time at "Basecamp," take it. The second half of each block she'll use weights on the other side, go to a 2nd "Climb" and "Peak." The warm-up is a mini block using weights, although there's no "Peak." I did not find the choreography dancey/complicated. Her queuing is very good. She'll mention modifications, but if you feel you need to modify, do so. There are seven (7) background exercisers, which seems a bit crowded, but overall it didn't bother me. Don't give up or be discouraged you initially can't do the whole dvd. This is a high impact, advanced w/o to grow into. - posted by SMT on 4/12/2012

Good All-Around, Athletic-style Workout
This workout provides total body muscle conditioning with cardio bursts. Not dancy, but the music keeps you moving, and the exercises are creative and different. A good addition to your rotation, for days you just want to work everything hard once through. - posted by Susan on 4/5/2012

Good Combination
This video was tough just like the rest of the Peak 10 videos. I like the balance of strength training and cardio on this video. You really feel like you've done something good for your body when you finish. The "peaks" are about half as long on the strength video as they are on the cardio videos, which I liked since my muscles were tired from lifting heavy weights. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking a total body workout. - posted by Steiner on 3/29/2012

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.
