Clips are up - these look tough!

Amy Dixon has posted preview clips of "Breathless Body" and "Give Me 10 More" on her website. She is taking pre-orders for the DVDs at full price ($19.99 each).

Breathless Body looks tough, she is breathing pretty heavy throughout. Talk about tough tabata or plyometrics!

I like the looks of "Give Me 10 More" it looks a lot like Kelly Coffey-Meyer's PowerSculpting or Circuit Burn or Marta Montenegro's workouts. I will be getting this one when Mary gets it in stock...

I think Breathless Body is more tabata/HIIT. It is interesting. But looking at the cover of the dvd and Amy's body in the actual vid clip, I see some air brushing here. I am not saying Amy does not look good, she does but air brushing looks apparent. I am interested in this one and don't care about the title. The title is about when you are finished with a round, you are breathless. I get it.

That sounds fantastic to me. It's hard to find a good tabata workout on DVD. I don't know about getting her Give Me 10 More, but the minute Breathless is available I'm getting it.
Definitely looks like a tabata style workout, just like Tabata Inferno in the S90D workout program.

These look really great. I like Amy and the workouts look fun and a bit different. I'm ordering them.

Amy's body type is a bit like Gin Miller's, I think. Gin even jokes about her own "great big butt" in some of her DVDs. Both are incredibly fit (Amy doesn't even seem "breathless" in the clips, but I have a strong feeling most consumers will be!) but they're also both sort of bottom-heavy mesomorphs.

That means that they come off looking relatively chunky and muscly on camera (though probably less so in person). Not exactly the ideal as far as marketing departments are concerned, hence the airbrushing...

Oh, I've been anxiously awaiting these. They do look really good. There's something about Amy I really like, I think I'd buy almost anything she put out!

Wow. That woman who does the advanced version in the back on the Breathless Body DVD, holy mackerel. She IS an athlete. I want to be her someday.

I'm confused by the "pre-order" process. You just put in your name and e-mail and they'll alert you when the DVD is ready for order? That's not much of a pre-order.
