10 Minutes Solution – Blast Off Belly Fat DVD Review

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $14.98

After years of looking for a great ab program, I’ve finally found it in the 10 Minutes Solution – Blast Off Belly Fat DVD. This workout is fantastic and perfect in so many ways, particularly because it only takes 10 minutes to do a workout! This video is something I stick to and use very often. I even enjoy doing it.

It challenges all your abdominal muscles in various ways. It uses the plank position to work the tranverse abs and Pilates for the core. Basic aerobics and normal crunches/curls round up your ab work.

Denise Austin Boot Camp – Total Body Blast DVD Review

Denise Austin: Boot Camp - Total Body Blast

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $14.98

Amazon Price: $9.49

I have a few Denise Austin workout DVDs and the one I do most often may just be the Denise Austin Boot Camp Total Body Blast workout. The exercises here are fast-paced (which is how I like it). There’s a good amount of toning and cardio.

This dvd is 20 min cardio, 20 min toning, 10 min stretch. The cardio is good, but they put the abs at the end of it. I wish it was in the toning section. The toning is mostly squats/lunges with some weights.

10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $14.98

I’ve had a few different pilates DVDs and the 10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates DVD is pretty damn good. It really helps that Lara Hudson, the instructor tells you when to breath in and out and you can hear her breathing. You can synchronize the 5 different workouts in the order you want. Some of these exercises are different from the ones on other pilates DVDs.
