Tone & Sweat

A surprisingly great video for beginners. It really works your muscles! I watched the video, played around with the toning cord a bit, and thought the workout would probably be too easy since I've been doing other workouts with free weights for nearly a year. I certainly didn't expect it to make me sore the next day, but it did - that good kind of all over ache that lets you know you've really done something. I've been doing it now for a couple of weeks, and I still feel it the next day.
I like the way he focuses on one muscle group at a time, cycles through different exercises, and does a high number of reps with breaks in-between. The approach is effective and comprehensive (considering the short duration of the video).
Instructor Comments:
This is not a good video to learn correct form from. That's better learned from other instructors. But it's great for motivation, lots of reps, and learning what muscles you're using.
