Movie Reviews of Women's Health: Perfect Body Workout
Movie Review: Excellent Video
Summary: 4 Stars
This is another great video from Amy Dixon. Amy is one of the best instructors out there. Her videos are fun to do and typically pretty easy to follow. Amy is motivational and NOT irritating - a very important quality in a fitness instructor!
This video is split into segements: a cardio segment and a weight segment, with optional bonuses of core work and a yoga inspired stretch.
1. The weight segment: Excellent! You'll use a set of five pound weights, though I sometimes upgrade to 8 pounds for a specific move that I feel like I need more weight for, and you could probably switch to 3 pounds for more difficult moves. All of the moves incorporate more than once muscle group, so you'll keep your heart rate up after the cardio section. A lot of the moves incorporate balance as well. I love this weight segment. There were a lot of moves that I had never seen before. She keeps it varied and interesting, and tough. You'll definitely feel like you're working, but it's fun. This is one of my favorite weight routines I've ever done.
2. The core segment: This is definitely a challenge, though sometimes I find it a little bit easier and other days it totally kicks my butt. Don't know why. Like the weight section, there are both classic moves and a bunch I've never done before. And she doesn't forget to include some back strengtheners, which I love. Great core segment that you'll keep going back to.
3. The yoga stretch: I love this stretch segment. It's awesome! You'll need a towel to do it, so have one ready.
4. The cardio segment: This is actually the first segment, but I saved it for last because it's the only section I don't like, and the reason I gave the video four stars instead of five. The exercises in the cardio section are based on different athletic activites, such as skating, swimming, etc. Some of these moves are fine, but I found most of them confusing and difficult to follow. Also, they require you to have a lot of space. I have a pretty decent sized basement that I work out in, and have a large library of workout dvds that I like to use. This is the only video where I've had to turn and try to do it diagonally, and even then I don't really have as much as room as I'd like to do these moves. For the most part this section leaves me feeling awkward, and even after doing it 2 or 3 times, I have to stop to watch a lot which means I don't get as much out of it as I'd like. Most of the time I just skip this section and combine the rest of the video with something else. It will get your heart rate up, though, and it's probably the kind of thing that a lot of people will really enjoy but just wasn't for me.
Bottom line: One of my favorite work out videos, but for me a subpar cardio segment.
