Women's Health: Perfect Body Workout |
 Glad I gave it another try |
| This is also released as Total Body Workout. Some time ago I tried it and it didn't click. I have since then learned that I shouldn't judge a workout until the second time. Well, Amy really grew on me. I liked her so well in the Exercise TV/Ultimate Body series that I gave this another shot. And I have to say this is a great workout. It is rated correctly inter/adv and I felt very much worked out from head to toe and had fun doing it. If you like athletic moves with high impact (which I do - I don't like dance, it doesn't challenge me) this is for you. Also includes effective weight work. I definitely recommend this one. - posted by holly on 9/22/2009 |

 Fresh and Different |
| I have several Women's Health DVDs but this is my first Amy Dixon workout. She's fresh and different. I enjoy it and will purchase other workouts featuring Amy. It's challenging but not too hard core. - posted by Casey on 8/17/2009 |

| Keeping it as a pregnancy workout. |
| I liked Amy's teaching, but this workout was too simple and not intense enough. I did all of it together, but it was really just not challenging. I was hoping for something a bit tougher, but I literally felt like I hadn't worked out at all afterward! Disappointing. - posted by Megan on 3/14/2009 |

| Average |
| I'd say that the cardio portion was average in every way. The camera angles were not so good -- rarely do we get to see all of Amy head to toe; usually the bottom part of her legs are cut off, which is not good when you're trying to watch someone do aerobic moves. The music was nothing remarkable, Amy's cueing was decent but not great, and Amy has an annoying habit of saying, "It's all about the..." (I counted at least 5 times in the warm up and cardio segment that she starts a sentence this way). But on the plus side, the moves themselves are good. I like a workout with sports-type moves. I liked that the workout gets you in there, gets your heartrate up, with no dancy moves. So it has its good aspects too. I haven't done the toning yet so I can't comment on that. - posted by Marianne on 12/26/2008 |

| Awesome and Interesting!! |
| Yes, this warrants two exclamation points in the headline :) This is the first Women's Health workout I've done, as well as the first time with this instructor, and I loved it. I know some are disappointed in the cardio, but I thought it was unique and fun. I love the sports drills. The strength section was stellar. She has the most interesting moves I've seen in awhile, and I was drenched in sweat when I finished. I found her warm and personable, and I liked the other women in the DVD. I can't wait to try the other one that I bought at the same time. - posted by Jamie on 11/25/2008 |

| Just Okay.... |
| This is the first Women's Health workout I have tried. I work out 5 to 6 days per week and have done many different workouts (power walking, running, tae bo, etc) and I was not that impressed with the cardio section of this workout. I felt that it was very redundant and it was definitely not challenging. I am not sure why this workout is shown as intermediate to advanced. To me, it's intermediate at best. The sculpting section was better than the cardio but some of the cuing wasn't the best. I am glad that I rented this dvd. If I had bought it, I would have felt that it was not worth the money. Won't be doing this one again. Try The Firm or Billy Blanks or Chris Freytag. They are all very good! - posted by Kelli on 11/20/2008 |

| Soooooooooooo Good!!!!! |
| THis was my first Amy Dixon workout. I LOVED HER!!!! Her energy is contagious, she is funny and motivating, yet down to earth and knowledgeable. THis workout is definitely not advanced -- especially in terms of cardio -- but very enjoyable and effective all the same. The compound muscle strength exercises were original, innovative -- AND TOUGH in parts. I will do this workout on "easier" days when I don't want to go all out but still want a great, effective, fun workout. Amy rocks. - posted by Sam on 7/4/2008 |

| Just okay... |
| I liked certain parts of the workout, good for intermediates. The hootin' and hollerin' every few seconds like it's the hardest workout in the world is a little much for me and distracting. Amy also says 'YES?!' after showing you a new move and that's a little much also. C'mon, Amy, this is not the hardest workout out there for all that banter. You have some good parts to your dvds but tone the background yelling down. I also find the background set depressing. Isn't it enough that you've sweating your butt off, do we really need such a depressing backgroung too? - posted by Sue on 4/12/2008 |

| Best "Women's Health" Workout Video |
| As in "Women's Health: Ultimate Fat Burn", intermediate or advanced exercises might find the cardio section in this workout a bit too easy, though it is slightly more challenging than in "Ultimate Fat Burn". If you are a regular exerciser, you will probably find the strength sections just right. They are sufficiently challenging without being too hard. The floor strength training and abs section of this video are wonderful, and will really push your limits. This workout is also better than "Women's Health: Ultimate Fat Burn" because it's longer. - posted by L. on 4/2/2008 |

| Phenomenal & Fun & Well-Cued |
| I couldn't wait to use this DVD...and it was worth the wait!I plan to use this regularly. I loved both the Ultimate Fat Burn and Total Workout in Ten so I was hesitant that I would end up with repetitive workouts. I highly recommend all 3 DVD's as they are pleasantly different yet effective This one being the toughest of the 3 in my opinion. I personally find the yells of encouragement to be quite amusing and motivating. I think it is all the fun that contributes to the time flying by. If I focused to seriously the time would drag....exercise should be FUN that doesn't make it ineffective! I popped open the dvd thinking I would do just the cardio segment and kept going all the way thru the strength section (simultaneously working upper & lower). LOVED IT - posted by Nancy on 3/31/2008 |
