Star Trainers: Strength

I workout daily at med to high intensity...and this one is a new favorite dvd!
I workout daily with the majority of my workouts being done to fitness dvds...because of this I've collected quite a library of them so I have much to compare 'em to...Still, every now and again I add to the collection for new motivation. This one a recent addition when Amazon had a sale and I have to say, in spite of having over 100 fitness dvds, this is a new favorite.

It's rare to find such variety in one dvd so if you only want a small library to work out with..or even just a couple dvds I would most assuredly suggest this one because you get variety with it...5 different top trainers chosen from the exercise channel. That, to me, makes it like getting 5 different dvds in one. Or 5 personal trainers in your own home, depending upon how you view it! <grin>

But none of that matters unless it WORKS, right?

CALORIC BURN AND RESULTS: I wear a bodybugg to measure my daily caloric burn. I mention this only so you'll know what I say is based upon...

For Beginners or MAYBE Intermediate Levels
I purchased this video, because I saw that Gay Gasper is included, although I must say she gives a lackluster performance from what I am used to from her. All the instructors are good in their own right, however, this video does not thrill me as I was expecting.

If you are an advanced level exerciser, then I would NOT recommend this video. The instructors are knowledgeable and fun, however the quick segments, even taken back to back, do not, in my opinion, offer a challenging workout. Until the Violet Zaki segment I was thouroughly bored, as many of the same moves were redundant from the other trainer's workouts.

If you are in an advanced workout regime I would recommend Cathe Friedrich or maybe Kelley Coffey for cardio and Jari Love prehaps depending on your taste for strength.

Excellent :-)
Wow - what a workout and star line-up. There is a lot of variety here and 5 different instructors. Along with Rob Glick, there is Violet Zaki, Kimberly Spreen, Kendell Hogan and Gaye Gasper. All are terrific and keep this workout fresh and interesting.
All the workouts are led by great professionals who cue really well and focus on different body parts. Rob focuses more on lower body and Kendell is upper body. It's the variety that I love. It's great value for money and you don't get bored. They all make you work, and know what they're doing. They are all outgoing and guide you through the moves really well.
This is a terrific workout and I really am enjoying it. I think I'm going to look at the other Star Trainer series of dvds, because if they are as good as this, then I'm going to be a very happy exerciser.
