Workout: One-On-One Training with Jackie

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $14.98

I bought Jackie Warner’s workout DVD on a whim. Having seen a few episodes of the Workout series and seeing that it was only $8 I found it to be a good deal. So when I popped it in yesterday I was amazed at how quick yet effective each workout is.

One of my favorite things about it is that she has broken down the three routines into Upper Body, Lower Body, and Abs. So you can alternate days thus giving your muscles time to rest and repair. This is a HUGE draw to me.

Each routine is about 21.5 minutes including the warm up and cool down. The warm ups and cool downs are also uniquely designed for each specific workout.

The exercises are quite varied and you feel like you’re getting a thorough workout. They are mostly strength training with some cardio interspersed throughout. She also gives you modifications to make the exercises easier or more challenging.

Many people complain that they don’t have time to workout because most workout videos are about 45 -60 minutes long (some longer!). This makes it really intimidating when you are trying to start exercising, or if it has been a while since you have had an exercise routine.

But with this DVD, it is hard to find an excuse not to exercise for twenty minutes a day. And for those of you who workout regularly, you can do all three workouts at a time.

As for each of the three workouts, they are all intense. Jackie definitely makes each second count. You get in, get your workout, get out and get on with your day. I have only been doing this workout for the last four days, but I have already had my energy level shoot up.

i’ve reviewed and tried a lot of workouts and workout programs, and this one is the best because it is highly effective and efficient.

This DVD focuses on a excellent group of exercises for each area of the body and gives you a tough workout that hits every muscle deeply. however, it’s easy to modify for a beginner. just do few reps. on the toughest.

I like that I can customize my workout depending on how much time I have. I try to do the 60 minute workout in it’s entirety but when time is limited, it’s good to know that I can break it up throughout the day.

Some Minor Flaws in this DVD…

One gripe I have is that the moves are not in time with the music – they are mostly off the beat or a mix of off and on the beat so hard to get used to – I just went at my own pace to avoid annoyance with this.

The second gripe is that some moves I think are way too fast to be safe. In particular, the roll to the side with both legs – again you can just slow up to modify. All that said it is a solid 3-set workout and the 20 mins per set has you feeling it.

The only minor problems I have are with the warm-up/cool-downs and the form of some of the trainers. The warm-up and cool-downs are very short, so it would probably be wise to do a little more of each on your own.

Also, sometimes the trainers are doing the exercises so fast they they jerk around and appear to use bad form. For example, one of the girls is doing squats so fast that she’s basically popping up and locking her knees at the top – from what I’ve learned on other videos, this is bad.

Final Verdict: Great Total Body Workout to Do!

All the workouts are great, they are not boring at all, they mix it all up and they do everything in short increments so you don’t get to wiped out from doing the same thing over and over. There is a reason Jackie Warner gets paid so well for being a trainer and its not just because she has a TV show it’s because she is a great trainer.

Give this a try, I usually get bored with fitness DVDs but this one is perfect.

If you’re looking to get in shape, this is where it’s at. It is a super intense weight workout mixed with cardio sections to specifically target the areas just exercised. Recommended!
