Time graph for Shape Bikini Body Transforming Workout

This one DVD has multiple workouts, multiple instructors and multiple techniques. It’s a format specifically designed to maximize both your motivation and your results (because your mind and your muscles are being challenged in different ways). The first program is a pure fat-burner — intervals of aerobic/anaerobic cardio (“like walking up and down hills”). The second is all toning — time-efficient routines that work multiple muscle groups at once (e.g. a “plié squat/bicep curl” combo). The third workout is a balanced mix — ten minutes each of kickbox, classic toning and an aero/tone blend. The three instructors — Michelle Dozois, Tracy York and Lisa Wheeler — are all experienced pros. Their cuing is clear and precise; their friendly, interpersonal camaraderie is energizing and effective. The DVD comes with a resistance band. 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells are also required. ©2006. DVD has: Close captions.

Shape Bikini Body Transforming Workout
good solid workout
is this the hardest workout I've ever done? no. does it work? yes!! and in only a half hour, which is very important when you have limited workout time. every move is effective, and you don't have time to get bored before a new move is introduced. highly reccommend this! - posted by jami on 7/19/2008

Roll those shoulders!
I love this workout, it get's my heat pumping and I don't get too bored. Only two complaints. I don't think they have great ab work, and I know this is bizarre, but I get frustrated with Lisa forcing us to roll our shoulders back a bazillion times. Enough with the shoulders, Lis. Three times should do it. - posted by Hillary on 7/4/2008

EXCELLENT
This is an excellent workout. Please do not pay attention to the 3 negative reviews. The only way someone can injure themselves is if they do not pay attention to what they are doing. If you pay attention, and know what your limitations are you will be fine. This is definitely fun and a bargain for the price. Just remember if if doesn't feel right modify. - posted by Ginger-Fitness Professional on 7/3/2008

Lots o sparkling teeth
This workout is useful if you are really pressed for time, but otherwise not only excessively perky but boring. These ladies never shut up. I wish more instructors would give a choice as to music only, or voice and music like Kathe. - posted by Angie on 6/22/2008

Waste of $20.00
I have the Shape re-defining workout and love it, so it was a no brainer to buy this one thinking it would be just as great. This workout is horrible. Very boring workouts and also dangerous. I had a lot of knee pain the day after doing this workout. And it was too much up and down on the floor. Don't waste your money on this one. - posted by Christie on 6/3/2008

Boring and Dangerous
This is such a mediocre tape. Then they add the dreaded "burpees" and "atomic lunges". I hate it. - posted by Robin on 5/21/2008

Awesome workout for all ages, all fitness levels
This workout has 3 short, intense work-outs designed for all fitness levels and age groups. I am 55 years old, have been working out with step, floor aerobics, and resistance for 25 years and have dozens of work out videos. This one has the best value for the money so far, gets me sweating, and after just 30 minutes, I feel like I've really had a work out. The boot camp moves are really great and really get the heart pumping. You will not be sorry you ordered this one. - posted by Julia on 3/18/2008

A lot of variety, will keep your heart pumping
I really enjoy this series of videos. This video has 3 segments, each running 30 min. The first is totally cardio, but the 2nd and 3rd segments are cardio mixed with weights and toning. They are definitely calorie burners and keep you sweating throughout the 30 min. I have been very pleased with this series. - posted by Lyndy on 3/2/2008

Pretty good
I do this video when I have 75 minutes to work out - the separate aerobics are not enough individually for a good work out but combining them both and with the 5-minute segments for arms and abs make it a very good workout. Very easy to follow, moves quickly and time flies. I enjoyed it! - posted by Polly on 2/26/2008

Great Workout
I work out at the gym for 30 minutes in the morning. This tape is excellent after I come back from a cardio workout. I admit, the first time I put it on I was surprised at how intense it was for me. I would recommend this video to anyone wanting a real challenge. I enjoy Shape magazine, as well as their videos! - posted by Nina on 1/25/2008

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.

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.
