Certified instructor description: A high-energy workout that boosts results by continuously blending toning right into the aerobics (nearly always working multiple muscle groups at once). It's a time-efficient format that burns calories as it sculpts your entire body. Sharon also maximizes the interest and effectiveness by utilizing alternating weight levels (light dumbbells are used for the faster-paced segments while heavier weights are used for the more controlled sections). It all features easy-to-learn, add-on cuing — you'll start with a base move, then add on the more diverse combinations. Recognizable, club-style vocal music (e.g. "Lovegame," "Sugar," "I Know You Want Me" and "I Got a Feeling"). Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 2 lb. and 5 lb.). ©2011. DVD has: 4 premixes (25 to 40 min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Wide screen.

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

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

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.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

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

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

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.
