Sharon Twombly's Zero to 60 |
    Too risky moves |
| Did not care for the repetitions and torque moves. Also, there is some impact (not truly low impact). - posted by Elizabetta on 5/20/2012 |

    Innovative Moves and FUN |
| This is a really fun workout and Sharon Twombly is a marvelous instructor. The moves were really interesting and different from the usual moves. Some reviewers did not like the repetition, but it did not bother me at all. The music also was different and very enjoyable. I though Sharon had great variety in the moves. Good stretch section too. A keeper. - posted by Tipi on 3/9/2012 |

    Low Impact With High Intensity |
| When an exercise DVD starts out with "I Gotta Feeling", it kind of promises a great workout. And this one delivers. I tend to be skeptical about low impact routines giving a good enough workout, but Sharon really proved me wrong. She combines weights with energetic moves that in short order had me breathing hard. When she switched from heavier to lighter weights after the first combination I was so relieved. But the next segment was totally kickin' too! She cues clearly and with perfect timing and the soundtrack was enjoyable. There are a few intervals with the option of somewhat higher impact for variety and extra intensity. Great overall workout. - posted by Janny on 2/17/2012 |

    A winner - fresh, fun, effective! |
| What a great workout - fun and inspired, but still solid. It's a mix of cardio with light (2-lb.) weights and strength moves (Sharon uses 5 lb. but I sometimes use 3 lb.) that has good flow and good moves - just simple twists on things that make it different, but not gimmicky or tricky. Sharon's cuing is spot on and upbeat, but she is serious (no silly, distracting asides). It's low impact but you can easily make it higher if you wish. - posted by Elizabeth on 2/9/2012 |

    Love It! |
| This is a really fun workout; I wish I had a finished basement where I could really let loose, but I have an 80 year old house with wood floors, so low impact is great for me. But I like high intensity, effective workouts as well, so this one is perfect. The intervals are quite varied, and I love light weights combined with cardio. As a previous reviewer commented, Sharon has a pleasant voice, and I think her cuing is good. I didn't find it boring at all. I do wish there were more high intensity, low impact workouts like this one, it would serve a great purpose and I think I would buy them all ! - posted by Sally on 2/8/2012 |

    Instant Favorite |
| I only write a review if I feel strongly about a video. I did this one today for the first time and considered titling my review "Fun, fun, fun!" To me the moves themselves actually FEEL good to do. For me, fun moves have the most staying power no matter whether the choreography is complex or simple. You DO need to already know the principles of proper form, because she doesn't go into that, so heads up about that -- it's not for someone who isn't already solid on form. I'm not docking it a star for that though, because it was so much fun. This is going to be in my top 10 go-to workouts for sure. - posted by April on 2/2/2012 |

    Distinctive and a lot of fun |
| This workout has something new to offer, which is something I don't find occasion to say very often. I enjoy building a large collection of workouts and in recent times find it hard to justify most new stuff because I already have so many similar workouts. I enjoy the low impact, non complex, fun moves set to fantastic music and the use of light weights as an intensifier. This is my first from Sharon Twombly and I like her as an instructor. - posted by Vee on 1/25/2012 |

    Great Workout! |
| I absolutely loved this workout. The cueing is excellent, the music is good and the moves are fun and original. Very organized and well put together. I got a great workout. Also like the options. This one is well worth your money. - posted by Mary on 12/23/2011 |

    Effective workout - weights and cardio combined |
| A great time-effective workout. You combine the weights with cardio and work up a good sweat. You can increase the intensity of the workout by using heavier weights, but using 3-5lbs for the entire workout worked well for me. Sharon does a great job working all parts of the body, she has a very pleasant voice to listen to. I also enjoyed the music as well. Well done Sharon! Will look forward to more of your upcoming videos. - posted by Joyce on 11/26/2011 |

    Pass on this one |
| Like one of the previous reviewers, I REALLY wanted to like this workout..I was so excited to open it and try it out! I have tried MANY different videos (Kathy Smith, Denise Austin, Gilad, The Firm, Tae Bo, Cathe)and found this workout too boring. Too many repetitions of the sequences she builds on. The instructor seems pleasant enough, but she is not good at explaining the moves or how to maintain proper form. She didn't speak at all bout proper form or protecting your back, knees, etc when performing some of the heavier weight exercises or riskier moves. I am 40 years old and I run a few times a week for exercise and do some light weight lifting. The music was good. Also, the instructor starts the video right away, without telling you what weights to start out with. All in all, I will not use this video again. I also did not break a sweat and I am hardly an intermediate exerciser. Pass on this one. - posted by Ann on 11/23/2011 |
