Movie Reviews of Minna - Emergency Workout

Movie Review: Great starter workout
Summary: 5 Stars

This dvd is great for beginners. She goes at an easy-to-follow pace. Once you get the hang of the routine you can make it more difficult for yourself because you're no longer concentrating on getting the moves down, so you can concentrate more on tightening your abs and putting more bounce into your steps that you get a better workout.

In each section of the workout, she breaks it up so that you learn a few steps at a time, and then puts it altogether.

Even better, Minna is not OVERLY GIDDY that you want to kick your tv.

Summary of Minna - Emergency Workout

"Lose weight and tone your body in just six weeks!" claims the back cover of Emergency Workout. Don't expect to look like gorgeous Minna Lessig, former Ms. Fitness USA and National Fitness champion, in that time, but do expect to have fun getting into shape with these two well-designed, high-energy, 30-minute workouts.

Remember the pre-hip-hop era of aerobic dance when we were doing cha cha, salsa, mambo, grapevines, and hip-swinging, feel-good combinations that kept our heart rates and moods up without taxing our minds terribly much? That's what Lessig gives us in the aerobic segment. The dance moves are just challenging enough to be fun and give us a sense of accomplishment, without being a major learning endeavor. Lessig teaches the routines smoothly and expertly, a move at a time. Her two female assistants, their faces animated, seem to be having a great time, too.

The second workout is a non-stop weight segment using dumbbells. Lessig's routine is an interesting mix of combination moves, such as biceps curls with lunges, or leg extensions with lateral raises, sometimes involving balance. The only problem is that you have no time to change weights between muscle groups, so you have to go light. Each workout has its own warm-up and cooldown, so you can alternate them on different days, or blitz yourself by doing the whole hour. A sample 1,100- to 1,200-calorie diet menu is included. --Joan Price
