This sculpting workout has a mix of traditional and non-traditional exercises. Unfortunately, they didn't work really well together. The long-lever non-traditional exercises seemed to disproportionately hit the shoulders and required light weights. In comparison, I needed much heavier weights for the traditional weight work to feel effective, but there wasn't time to change the weights without losing a lot of reps and taking away from the flow of the workout. The leg exercises, with the exception of the plies in the active warm-up, didn't seem that effective. The workout is short - maybe 32 minutes. My favorite part was the bonus abs which had some Pilates movements I've never seen before but would definitely like to see again.

The location is gorgeous. The photography is okay. The music is very bland. I really like Ellen Barrett's Crunch workouts, but although I could see elements of it in Bikini Ready Fast, it didn't draw me in. If I wanted to get in bikini shape fast, I wouldn't pick this workout.

Instructor Comments:
A very charasmatic instructor.
