Mindy Mylrea's Kick Butt Boot Camp |
  Horrible cueing!! |
| Oh my goodness! Her cueing was terrible. Even the people doing the workout with her kept messing up. I worked up a good sweat but about fell several times because she would do the move first then tell you what to do. This one is going back. - posted by Lena on 4/20/2012 |

| This really burns those cals! |
| I did the full-length version of this (all three workouts together)and my HRM said I'd burned over 800 calories. I don't know if that's correct or not, but I really knew that I'd done a serious workout! Mindy is very "peppy" -- I don't know if that's the right word, but she's certainly enthusiastic about what she's doing, which is encouraging to the watcher, I guess. Some of the stepwork is hard to follow at times. It's very fast. But I think you need to do the video a few times in order to get accustomed to what's coming next. It has a nice mix of strength and cardio using the medicine ball, and it pretty much covers every area of the body. It is pretty advanced, and I'd say only do all three if you've got heaps of stamina and plenty of time! It's worth it, though. One of my toughest DVDs so far (and I've got A LOT!) - posted by Keira on 3/1/2012 |

| "this is killing my butt!" |
| This workout rules - delivers the aero/toning goods for real. And I just have to point out Mindy's disarming and unintentional hilariousness as a workout personality - there is one part near the end of the workout that always cracks me up and it has to do with the quote that is my headline - she totally slams anyone with a "boney butt" during the ab workout (done on the step, which DOES hurt your butt a bit, boney or otherwise IMO) she's all (loose quote) My backup people complain that this kills their butt! Serves you right for having a boney butt!!...my butt is great and I could do this forever! and then, soberly,..."but seriously, if you have issues, just use a pad..." or something. Too funny. I love this woman. heelarious. - posted by heather on 8/29/2010 |

| mindy great, dave not so great |
| I absolutely love the medball section. It is my go-to for a short, intense workout. lots of plyo and aerobic muscle fatiguing of the legs. instead of a medball, I just use a 5lb handweight and it works just fine. always am sweating like a pig afterward. I also love that my arms are getting an incidental workout while the focus is more on jumping and leg work (since you hold the weight thru-ought the workout)> the step portion is less intense but worthwhile. I will sometimes tack it on after medball (I like to get that one out of the way first, because it really is a butt kicker) sadly, the segment with kickboxing dave is lacking. dave is a wet noodle and clearly does not have camera presence on par with mindy. luckily he's only got a third of the space on this dvd. I think he must have lost a bet with mindy to get in on her dvd because his segment is totally uninspired and lame. not fun. - posted by otto on 8/8/2010 |

| just what i was looking for... |
| This is definitely a challenging work out, but it moves quickly and is not boring at all. The only section I don't feel moved by is the kickboxing section led by Dave. Pretty repetitive and not especially inspiring. He's also kind of clunky and graceless. Mindy is motivating and energetic during the other two segments. The med ball is definitely a killer. I use a five pound weight in place of a med ball and it works just fine. Sometimes I get the sneaking suspicion that it will destroy my knees (the jumping plyo moves with the weight) but maybe I'm just paranoid. This is definitely a workout I will keep in rotation with my Amy bentos and Jerri Loves. - posted by Reba on 5/1/2010 |

| Horrible workout |
| I absolutely agree with Vanessa, this workout is really chaotic! I own about 5 Mindy's DVD's and I like them, not this one though. It felt horrible. - posted by Inga on 10/12/2009 |

| This is getting me back in shape!! |
| I really love this DVD--it is challenging and fun! I think Mindy is hilarious and she makes the workout more fun than other instructors who appear to have such serious and boring personalities. I have definitely lost a few pounds after using this DVD and am beginning to see more definition in my upper body due to the various pushup moves and tricep dips. My favorite section is the step, followed by the hi-low/medicine ball, and then the kickboxing. Great job, Mindy!! - posted by Rebecca on 1/23/2009 |

| Well-rounded workout - oh yeah, tough too! |
| I was very pleased with the three sections in this workout - I've only done all three at once one(1) time; it was so tough, but I knew I'd finished a great 90 min. workout. The kickbox section is expertly done, but does seem to go by pretty fast - wish it was 10 minutes longer! I love Mindy's med ball moves and boot camp style drills - she is a bit hyper, but you can block that out by concentrating on the tough moves and your own muscle work. I like the fact that there's very little equipment too. Not a "girly" workout either - my hubby would like it! - posted by Suzy on 10/7/2008 |

| Effective total body workout with a very personable instructor |
| From her general appearance, you would never know that Mindy is a mom of three children (boys). I used this DVD as inspiration for me to lose the last stubborn pounds of pregnancy weight. If you want a total body workout in a limited amount of time, or if you want to have your butt kicked in new and exciting ways, buy this. - posted by Adrienne on 2/24/2008 |

| Boring and chaotic |
| I have done other Mindy workouts and been very pleased with her unique and challenging moves, but this workout was all over the place! She was way too hyper and it seemed as though she was making things up as she went along. The "kick"boxing did not have much kicking, but mostly punches,jabs,etc.I recommend Cathe Friedrich's boot camp workout. - posted by vanessa on 10/5/2007 |
