Movie Reviews of The 12 Second Sequence Special Edition DVD Kit: Volumes 1 & 2
Movie Review: Good idea, but not good results
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought the DVDs to see if I got better results than following the book. Have not accomplished what Jorge says will happen. Movie Review: Uneven pacing, cueing - too much talking
Summary: 3 Stars
As some other reviewers recommended, get the book and work out with a friend to get a sense of the 12-second duration and where the 2-second hold/pause or MTP is.
Jorge should spend more time counting as you can't "just follow Heather" when in the proper position for many of the exercises, especially those on the FitBall. I'm fairly experienced in high-intensity, slow weight training, and with a FitBall. Getting into place quickly with the appropriate weights is tricky - then craning your neck to see where Heather is on the count is frustrating. It can also be dangerous.
Movie Review: The 12 second sequence...... only for volumes 1& 2
Summary: 3 Stars
I would give this DVD 5 stars, if only it had the entire 8 weeks of his program included!
Volumes 1&2 are only 4 sets of exercises, worth 4 days or only 2 weeks of the program. I didn't understand that. I bought the first Volume separately and bought it again, just so I could get volume 2. I have been training with the same four exercises for several months now hoping he would come out with another couple of exercises,if not the entire program. I guess I'll have to buy the book and forget about a complete DVD.
Movie Review: Get the book instead
Summary: 3 Stars
First, I highly recommend the program! While the exercises will tax your body, the routine is easy to follow and execute upon. Know this, however, you will need an exercise ball, hand weights (preferably ones which you can change the weight easily), and a sturdy chair. Jorge recommends the SportBlocks hand weights. We've tried others and finally went with his recommendation and agree 100% with him.
Now, the DVD is definitely just an introduction to the program and only takes you through a couple week's worth of exercises. Good if you are a very visual person and would like to see how to position yourself for the exercises and to really see how long the counts are. I used it for those couple weeks and now it sits on the shelf. In hind sight, I wouldn't have ordered it.
However, get the book! It contains several weeks worth of routines and exercises and goes into much more detail on the program. Unless you need to see someone demonstrating the exercises, I recommend the book instead.
Movie Review: Light workout
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a nice quick workout, but very light. I have doubled up and done the workout twice and that felt more like a workout, but of course took more time. I have also added weight to make it challenging enough with only 4 reps. He really emphasizes good form and breathing. This would make a good travel workout after a day of meetings.
