Michelle Dozois' Your Best Body Circuit |
 Always love Michelle |
| I always feel that I'm getting a good workout with Michelle's DVDs. (I have a small collection.) I've been using this DVD steadily for about two weeks, and already the muscles in my arms and thighs are toning up nicely. I really like that this workout is high intensity--your heart rate is up in no time--and that Michelle encourages you to use heavy weights. After 30 minutes, you have no doubt that you've been working out. - posted by Mary on 7/30/2008 |

 mixture of cardio and light toning |
| This video is a great mixture of cardio and light resistance work. As an advanced exerciser ( avid user of Jari and Cathe) I use this video mostly as a cardio work out. It gets my heart rate up and the variety of moves and tonning makes it fun. - posted by Bschwarz on 5/23/2008 |

| Boring, I finally turned it off |
| I have a lot of exercise videos and I just couldn't get through this one. I purchased it based on the reviews here, but I guess I didn't see the same thing everyone else did. I am surprised only two people felt the same way I did. - posted by Debbie on 5/5/2008 |

| Great workout! |
| This dvd is challenging and there is a ton of variety in the moves and exercises Michelle put together. I am amazed that anyone could be bored! There is so much to do in the workout, how does anyone have time to be bored? I love the mix of equipment, and the cardio segments are quite fun with no dread factor. You will sweat, and if you work hard enough with heavy enough weights, you will be challenged, even if you are at an advanced level. Plus it is fun! - posted by B on 4/30/2008 |

| Another winner! |
| I did Rockin Body Jam (love!) and was excited to try this one. I was not disappointed. Good cardio that gets your heart up. There is quite a bit of higher impact, but one of the exercises modifies. I loved the band work and really felt it. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because Michelle's cuing was a little off, unlike Rockin Body Jam where it's great. - posted by fit2Btied on 4/9/2008 |

| Amazing Workout!!! |
| I like to rotate my videos weekly and I was looking for a change!!! WOW, amazing workout. Even the express workout was a challenge for me and I've been working out consistently for five years. I think this is the workout that will push me past my plateau. I'm so glad I purchased this video!!! - posted by Natasha Conn on 3/28/2008 |

| Fantastic Workout |
| I absolutely loved this. Minimal equipment but high energy and big fun factor. The workout is so varied and moves so fast I can't imagine getting bored. Michelle's cuing is fantastic and the moves are so simple it is easy to follow. I think I will be able to take it up a notch and go heavier next time, now I know what to expect. As it is I burned just under 500 calories and worked up a great sweat. This workout is going to become a regular in my rotation. Great value -- I highly recommend this one! Now I want to get Michelle's other 2 latest ones! - posted by Sam on 3/20/2008 |

| Burn Some Major Calories! |
| This video will leave you sweating. I love workouts that make you feel like you've really burned some calories and had fun doing it. I am not a pilates kind of girl. I wanted to address the comments left by the woman who said her knees hurt her for days afterward. The issue is most likely incorrect form when doing the workout. I have never had any issues with my knees with this workout, in fact, I don't find it to be stressful on your joints. The cardio in this video is very short segments of about 4-5 minutes. From there you go on to weight training mostly for your upper body. The last segment is the only segment that uses weights with lunges and lower body. So, there shoulnd't be any pain or stress on the knees doing this workout. All I can say is check your form and if a movement feels uncomfortable, don't do it. I loved this video! The time flew by, the segments are quick and easy to follow, while at the same time getting your heart rate up there. Highly recommend! - posted by Christie on 3/13/2008 |

| Still recovering from this workout |
| I really wanted to like Michelle Dozois' Your Best Body Circuit. I am 37 and exercise 4-5 days a week. I have only started switching from cardio (step aerobics and jogging) to interval and weight training in the last 6 months. I was really excited to try this fun viedo. Two days later, my knees are still so sore from the jumping, power squats and quick, jarring movements in the "cardio bursts" that I have not been able to do this video or anything else since. I am so disappointed! Just beware if you have any knee issues (I never have before) to take it easy at first. I plan to keep trying this video for variety but I'll be wiser next time! - posted by Alissa on 3/12/2008 |
