Time graph for Patrick Goudeau's Hard Work Conditioning
Alternating intervals of easy-to-follow aerobics plus compound muscle toning. It’s intense, but also playful and fun. Patrick Goudeau’s infectious energy and honest encouragement are sure to keep you motivated (“oh my gosh, this is tough”). The non-dancy cardio segments feature both step and floor aerobics — explosive and powerful moves like squat thrusts and jacks. The fast-moving toning intervals include flexibility and balance exercises. These routines creatively integrate multiple muscles into every movement (e.g. bicep curls while doing a one-legged squat as you’re standing on the step). Requires 3 to 10 lbs. dummbells. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Patrick Goudeau's Hard Work Conditioning

Really Really Like This Workout
This is my first Patrick video, but it won't be my last. Each segment is tough, but definitely doable. Patrick's positive attitude and encouragement really help me "push thru" when I feel like I can't do one more rep. Will definitely check out Patrick's new dvds when they are released. - posted by Suzanne on 10/22/2009
Luv This Video!
This is a great cardio and conditioning dvd. At my age (52), I found it challenging and it took some time but I finally managed to get through the entire dvd. For those of us who are not advanced (like some of the other reviewers) this dvd is definitely a challenging workout. My husband has actually commented that he's noticed a definite improvement in my body tone. Thanks Patrick...can't wait for more of your HWC dvds. - posted by Earline on 9/21/2009
Too much down time
I like this video better than Hard Work Conditioning 2 but I just find that Patrick's movements are too slow and there aren't enough reps to really feel your muscles working. He also has just too many rests in between sets. You get your heart rate up a bit, then you're resting again - it just doesn't seem very effective to me. He has a good personality, but it gets a little annoying at times with all his giggling and "oh my gosh" throughout the video, but his approach is commendable. - posted by Stephanie on 6/26/2009
I LOVE IT...and Yes. ..."OH MY GOSH"...
I love this video. I have other hard conditioning videos but they are so boring!!! With those other video I felt forced to work out..With this Video..I Feel Like Working out..It is Fun, doable and effective.. - posted by rose on 6/16/2009
wow, this is tough!
As advertised, this is hard-work conditioning. I'm too old, and too slow to do some of the moves (like the floor jumping jacks on the step), but I can modify and still work up a good sweat. I haven't done this one long enough to see any changes, but it's enough fun that I'm willing to keep at it. I'll definitely try more of Patrick's videos. - posted by mira on 6/3/2009
OH MY GOSH!!
LOVE IT!!! One of my favorites....I am always sore the next day from doing this workout! Patrick is so much fun and easy to follow. The music is great and gets you moving. A must have for your workout collection. - posted by Lisa on 5/23/2009
Good
I would like to see more reps on some of the moves; Patrick seems to rush from one move to another, just as I'm getting the hang of it. I felt I had to do both parts to really get a good workout. I did sweat, so something's working. Hard Work Conditioning 2 is much harder. Not a bad workout overall. - posted by Rhonda on 4/15/2009
A refreshing change for me
I have been doing strength DVD's with seemingly endless repetitions. Although they have been effective, sometimes there is a "dread" factor when I start them. I loved this DVD because although there were not a lot of repetitions of each exercise, you still felt like they were effective. Most exercises were compound exercises and were challenging. It was fun. The time went fast, and Patrick was postive and encouraging. It will be my stack of favorites! - posted by Bonnie on 4/4/2009
Just what I needed
I'm 48 and have been doing mostly Cathe for years. I loved this dvd from the first time I tried it. It was easy to follow, but I hurt (in a good way) in places I haven't felt in years...the Cathe rut, I guess. Great variety, and I love Patrick's personality. I don't mind the Oh my goshes at all. I also love that you can choose a 30, 40 or 60 minute workout. Who doesn't have 30 minutes? Thanks, and I'll be ordering more Patrick dvds. - posted by Leslie on 2/14/2009
Fantastic
I was sweating like crazy with a big smile on my face I was having so much fun. Don't get me wrong, this is hard work just like the name implies but Patrick makes it fun. I love it! - posted by Cindy on 2/5/2009

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.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
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.

Step aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The step aerobics segments involve stepping up and down on a platform. The moves range from simple stepping to more choreographed exercises. These segments require a step bench platform. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against 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.
