Time graph for The Shape of Things to Come
Body-part-focused toning intervals alternated with unusually fast-paced cardio “bursts.” It’s a format that’s both challenging and time-efficient. Each toning segment targets a specific muscle group with 4 to 6 weight-room-style exercise variations (e.g. four distinct bicep curls — different positions, different tempos, different angles). The step-aerobic cardio intervals are intense — from knee ups and jogs to plyometrics and jumping jacks (done for serious fat-burning, not just easy “rests” between toning sections). Throughout, Kelly Coffey-Meyer consistently emphasizes those minor tweaks that can make an ordinary move even more effective. Requires 2 sets of dumbbells (e.g. 3 and 5 lb.). ©2005. DVD has: Chapter menus, Close captions.

The Shape of Things to Come

This was the bomb!
I love this workout! Wow!! I am an advanced exerciser and I was sore for 3 days after this, especially my butt and legs which don't get sore all that often. She is no frills, just get it done kind of instructor and I like that. No mindless chatting or unnecessary showing off her body like some dvd's..just a hard workout. Love it! Buy it, trust me on this one...:) - posted by Kelley on 2/10/2010
Liked this one
I liked this one a lot. I am a pretty advanced exerciser and have been strength training for about 10 years. I loved the tweeks and variations to traditional strength moves. While I was doing this workout, I thought it was lacking in lower body, but the next day my butt was the sorest part of my body. - posted by Nancy on 1/12/2010
Combines Cardio and Weights Together Perfectly!
Kelly has managed to do what other videos try to but often fail. She does enough cardio to get your heart rate up and sweating, while doing enough reps with the weights to tone and strength. The legs superset was tough. Who thought picking your weights up off the floor could be so tough! I highly recommend this one. I think it is more advanced than intermediate so be prepared. - posted by Diane on 1/7/2010
Excellent
This is the best w/o ever. I always return to this one. I like the pace and the structure. Kelly is awesome. - posted by Jacque on 12/29/2009
Excellent!
This is a great, down to business, no fluff workout! You do not waste any time with needless moves and silly chasses'! It went by really fast too! I was sore for DAYS with this one! Kelley is a top notch instructor and now I can see why so many people love her workouts! The moves were basic, but tough! It moved along quickly, evenly and with purpose! Thank you Kelly! - posted by TracyAZGirl on 11/4/2009
Awesome total body dvd
Time flew so fast while I was doing this workout! I had so much fun while I listened to great music and completing a fantastic workout! This is my second dvd from Kelley, NYC, being my 1st. and this is only the beginning! My heartrate went up and my whole entire body was cooked from head to toe, by the end of this workout! The intervals are short, 34 minutes total. I wish it was a little bit more longer. The abs and chest workout was back to back and shorter then I expected. I hope she does another similar one to this, with the same great music, on her next dvds. Her new ones seem good, from what I seen on here, but the music doesn't seem as good as this dvd. Hope she comes out with more great ones!!! - posted by Vivian on 10/3/2009
Fun, Fast, and Tough
This is a great 50 minute total body workout. Kelly really knows how to get the job done. Her workouts are very efficient. I love the mix of cardio and weights. I love the athletic moves and the creative weight work,The lower body supersets toward the end of the workout, I found especially tough. - posted by JF on 9/18/2009
Perfect Mix of Cardio and Weights
This is my first workout with Kelly and I LOVED it! I have done the workout twice now and enjoyed it even more the second time. Kelly does not waste any time moving from one thing to the next and really works all the muscle groups as she claims she will do. I did the workout this morning and my arms are still trembling three hours later (and I work out 6 days a week). I loved the music too. Can't wait to order more from Kelly! - posted by Julie on 8/24/2009
Great, Fun, No Dread Factor At All
I really enjoyed this workout! It's a great combination of weights + cardio. Each muscle group and it's cardio segment are done twice and then you move on. The cardio segments are really fun and have great variety. It moves forward and changes at just the right pace. No time to get bored and I got a good workout. For me this is a great morning workout. It gets me moving but is still doable enough to be done before breakfast, a time when I'm not my most energetic. I used light weights so I can still do a more focused/heavier weight training workout later in the day. This workout is super fun, and really smart. I'm new to Kelly's workouts and I think she's a great instructor. - posted by Marla on 7/10/2009
Great!!
I really love Kellys style. It is alot of different, functional moves and is not dancy. Uncomplicated, easy to follow yet challenging. I get a great work out with all her videos! - posted by Jodi on 6/27/2009

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.
