Weight Training Made Easier

Joyce Vedral
Year Released: 2001

Categories: Total Body Workouts


I thought this would be a good dvd purchase, but feel like I wasted my money. I love other Joyce Vedral workouts such as Dynamic Tension, Top Shape It's Now Or Never, and Bone Building Body Shaping. I feel this is one of her worst though.

The workout works chest & shoulders to start first. There is no time to switch weights from heavier chest presses to triceps. She also counts & lifts so fast that by the time I'm on the down move, she's started another rep. I end up only doing half of the reps since I don't want to jerk the weights around. I tried to use my lighter weights (such I do in her high rep/light weight workouts Definition and Fat Burning) but didn't feel like I got a good workout.

The rest of the workout for day 1 consists of biceps/shoulders then floorwork for hip/butt and abs. The day 1 lower body I felt was good. However day 2 had a few repeat exercises saying they did something else. Some of day 2 for hip/butt I couldn't feel did anything & believe she made the exercises up since they aren't in any other weight training videos I've seen by those who are experts, such as Cory Everson's workouts.

The lower body of day 2, other than the floor work section, was good. She also did the back work this day, which I'd prefer to do all upper on the same day.

If you like using lighter weights and want something thorough yet quick, this dvd might be for you.

Instructor Comments:
She goes too fast in this workout for heavy weights. She claims she lifts 10s/15s/20s at home, but she doesn't here and neither can we due to her speed.
