Certified instructor description: You get four targeted sections, each one is a mix of classic toning and “fun/funky” alternatives. Three of the 13 to 17-minute segments focus on a specific area: upper body, abs or buttocks (the fourth segment shapes your entire body). Minna Lessig uses lots of proven/traditional routines, but she’s not afraid to include some playful variations (e.g. gym-style deltoid flies are followed by bellydancer-style shoulder shimmies). Each section also features two intensity levels — a slow, controlled series, then a faster-paced, more challenging sequence. Excellent cuing and lots of friendly encouragement. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 2 lb. and 5 lb.). ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option, Region 1.

Tank Top Arms, Bikini Belly, Boy Shorts Bottom

Great Instructor
I love this DVD. Minna is a very clear, concise instructor. I have been doing this DVD for the past 2 weeks. I can feel it. I always look forward to this workout. I am a 45 year old who works out daily. I am very glad I added this DVD to my collection. I would recommend it. - posted by Marshall on 3/24/2011
I love it!
I love the new dvd by Minna. It really works you all over. And it's so easy anyone of any age can do this. If there's a part you can't do, just pass it by, because everything you can do really works for you and your body! I rate this dvd a 10 indeed! - posted by Linda on 7/29/2010
What an awesome workout!
I agree with the previous reviewer. Minna is a breathe of fresh air, an excellent instructor, and focuses on you having proper form and alignment. This and her previous workouts are always fun, safe, good for all fitness levels and yet effective. The specific exercise she has you doing is what makes the workout effective and see results. She starts off with arms, having you do push ups then, delts, shoulders, triceps and biceps and a shoulder shimmy which I felt immediately! Then, she moves to the legs and butts, and I love the frog leg butt workout and back lunges....followed by abs and then a total body workout. The music is great and love the cool down! I wished that Minna would come out with some new dvds. She is an outstanding instructor who knows her stuff! - posted by Vivian on 3/12/2010
A breath of fresh air
This DVD has so much going for it. Appropriate for those just starting out (there are always beginner modifications, and lots of form pointers and encouragement from Minna) all the way up to advanced: it's all in what you make of it. If you go heavier on the weights, modify to make the exercises tougher, and start the exercises immediately as Minna sets up and demonstrates, the result is a fun and challenging workout - especially if you do the DVD all the way through. With so many innovative moves (love the gymnast abs!), it's the perfect antidote to more predictable weight programs and a great way to break up monotony. I'm so glad I rediscovered this DVD, and see myself using it frequently from now on. Highly recommend - great job, Minna! - posted by Nia, int/adv on 4/2/2009
Awesome video!
I appreciate the variety Minna gives and the combination movements. The music is motivating, as is her attitude! I personally liked the several transitions from the floor to standing and picking up the weights. After all, this is a part of working out too, right? Although I am advanced, going heavier with Minna's video has been a great challenge. So although I personally don't need the demonstrations, it's a good reminder to always do them correctly, and a good reminder for the beginner exercisers. Love It! - posted by Cynthia on 3/2/2009
Eye Catching Title Doesn't Disappoint
I thought it might be risky getting a dvd with a cutesy name like this--perhaps it would be all packaging and no substance. However, I really enjoyed it and was sore for two days afterward. I'm 47 and a former dancer, so I appreciated the fact that Minna included some toning exercises you might see in a jazz class. Others did not like that, but they don't realize how much toning you can get with these exercises-they added variety to otherwise monotonous weight training videos you usually see. Minna also implemented some ballet inspired leg toning moves. It's refreshing to get moves like this. You CAN tone your butt without using weights! But don't get me wrong, this is not a dancey video. It's true, the ab section was very different and tough, but it was great not doing the regular traditional ab exercises. Minna definitely challenges your body and shocks your muscles into waking up to something different. These are not stale moves- I like that. I also like how she uses compound moves and a variety of styles all intertwined together. I agree with the others about the getting up and down from the floor. At 47, I would rather do all the floor work at one time, but the getting up and down wasn't too excessive. - posted by Stacey on 6/11/2008
Not An Intermediate Workout
I would call this a beginner workout. It is pretty simple and doesn't work too many muscle groups. Minna is positive but she wants to "demonstrate" every move before doing it. Too much wasted time. I also agree that there is a lot of picking up weights, putting them down, now to the floor, and then back up again. I never felt challenged or that I was working very hard. - posted by Tanya on 6/7/2008
Not bad but not that good either
I like Minna but i didnt like the flow in this dvd, in one instant you are picking up weights, lying on the mat, standing up, doing the "ballerina pose" or doing the "funky" moves !!!. Its too much time wasted in btw exercises. She is sunny and encourages you but the flow makes it irritating after a some time. - posted by Kat on 6/4/2008
Ok
This workout was ok but I guess I expected more. I didn't care for the her reference to "tank top arms" repeatedly and I didn't care for the up and down on the floor. I prefer to be standing and then get on the floor. - posted by Mary on 5/28/2008
recommend it
I've been using this DVD for about 2 weeks now, alternating the full workout with the shorter total body routine. I can definitely tell a difference. It is not a vigorous, intense workout - if that's what you like - but it is fun to do, and it works. Now, if I could just give up the chocolate.... - posted by chris on 5/10/2008

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.
