Movie Reviews of 10 Minute Solution: Tone Trouble ZonesMovie Review: Great workout - not a DVD that will collect dust! Summary: 5 Stars
I think this might be my first review on Amazon!
I recently ordered this DVD after seeing a clip of it on another website and finding it interesting. I was a little bit worried about reviews I had read which claimed the transitions were too quick, etc. I liked the idea of the band but wondered if I might have trouble with it as I had tried using one before and it was not the most comfortable. But my greatest worry was that it would be another purchase that would end up collecting dust.
The first thing I will say is that in the short time since receiving it, I have probably exercised more often and more regularly than I have in years, which counts for a lot.
What I like about it:
1. The instructor.
The instructor and setting are always important factors in exercise videos. Amy Bento is pleasant, professional, and motivating in this. Her form is good in the moves she demonstrates and her explanation of them is clear. There are also parts where she asks you to breathe and emphasizes her own breathing, which adds to the reminder and helps you remain conscious of this part we sometimes forget.
2. The routine
It really is great that the segments are only 10 minutes, and the customizing option is great. You can select one or as many of the routines as you want and it will play out in the order you choose. I try to pick three (including the stretching segment) and alternate every second day or so. Even on days when I have been very tired, I told myself I would do just one and ended up doing more. I also like how each segment begins with a warm-up and ends with a stretch. These are fairly quick but are nice to have. With regard to the transitions, I would say that watching the segment at least once is very helpful. I did so myself and initially could understand what some people meant. The warm-up is often quick as she goes from one move to the next, and it could be hard to follow the first time around simply because you are not familiar with it. But don't let this scare you. It is not complicated and once you know what to expect, it is fine. With time, you will also get used to changing the band with each exercise without falling behind, and holding it in the best way to get the most out of the exercises. It may not be ideal but the first time or two, you can press pause if needed to get adjusted. I have done this occasionally (I kept the remote close by) but it did not prevent me from enjoying it and getting a good workout. So though it might feel quick at first, the routine in its entirety is not rushed. I honestly feel the routine is productive and interesting and makes great use of its time. There is certainly no time wasted.
3. The band
It is great that the DVD comes with the band. The band is a good length and you can tighten it if necessary. It is a piece of equipment that offers good resistance and helps with certain exercises and does not take up a lot of space.
I have struggled to make exercise a more regular part of my life and so far, this DVD has really helped. I am so pleased it was not a purchase to have gone unused.
