Star Trainers: Cardio

Fantastic :->
These five workouts are really great. They are full of energy, and the instructors are all knowledgeable and friendly. They cue well and get you motivated. After advertising their prefered brand of water (Propell), they go straight into it. One of the five exercisers usually has a calorie burner moniter on, and at the end of the workout, you find out how much they burned during the workout and you'll know you roughly got the same. The music is great and the set is nice and hip.
Each of the five workouts are approximately 25 minutes in cardio (then there is a warmup and cool down). There is kickboxing, dancy combos, grapevines, shuffles and mixes of low and high impact to name a few. I love how you can mix the workouts up so you'll never get bored, and while some are a little tricky to follow, it's fun trying to get there and improve on your last try.
You don't need any equipment for these routines and they really are so much fun. You have to give them a go. You'll...

Great variety, great cardio, great instruction
Sometimes there's nothing like a good, pure cardio workout, which you'll get with this DVD, along with other benefits. Violet Zaki's kickboxing/martial arts will sneak in some toning, and the cardio bursts in Kimberly and Kendall's workouts will get you some added burn. Rob Glick's workout is a bit more challenging as far as choreography, but not overly demanding physically, and Gay Gasper's is good, old fashioned aerobics. You can't go wrong here. I'll admit the propel plugs are annoying, but it was probably necessary to fund production. Each workout is roughly 30 minutes, so you can mix and match depending on what your goals are. There's something here for everyone.

Good variety
Awesome DVD! There are 5 solid intermediate workouts for a great price and even better when you find it on sale! There is good variety and while some are more complex then others (Rob Glick is fairly complex) I think there is a little bit of everything in there. The advertising is brief but present... and I'm willing to deal with it if it means they can pack THIS many workouts on one DVD. My favorite workouts were from Kendell, Violet, and Kimberly for differing reasons. Violet will leave your legs screaming but in a good way, Kendells is just fun, and Kimberly because she's just enjoyable to work with.
