Ultimate Body – Challenging Workouts for Weight Loss
I cant say that get get impressed that often and I have a huge supply of fitness videos, but this DVD is how every video should be I feel. For one you can’t be the value. Tons of workouts that you can use whenever you want for whatever reasons. I love the fact that I can workout for 45 minutes or if I am in a hurry or short on time exercise for 10-15 minutes. The instructor Meghan is aweinspiring. Not only does she have an incredible body herself, but she also has an extensive knowledge of fitness which easy translates to the audience. Id say you cant beat the value and I loved it so much I bought “Ultimate Body Beginning Workouts” for my mom and “Yoga for Everybody”. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

The workouts in this dvd are decent, but I couldn’t get past the off-beat cues and the instructor’s unpleasant voice. I felt like I was working out backwards half the time because the instructor signaled right/left movements according to her right/left and not the viewers. The music was good on some of the workouts and awful on the others. I didn’t like it and think there are way better workout dvds to follow.

At the time I bought this video all of the reviews were 5 stars. I am pleased to see that Amazon is finally posting the negative feedback and only wish they had when I read the reviews so I could have saved $20. I am an avid home workout person for about 15 years now and this is the worst DVD I have ever purchased. The instructor is horrible cueing, her execution is bad and the voice – like nails on a chalkboard. The worst production ever. Like another negative review, I thought I was going to throw up watching the screen bounce around in an attempt to film her jumping up and down. There are so many wonderful DVD’s out there – buy some of Janis Saffell’s, Karen Voight, Denise Austin or Ellen Barrett’s. You will be glad you did.

I actually watched all the workouts on this DVD and had to ask myself why I paid my hard earned money for it.
Right away I noticed the instructor’s voice. It gets annoyingly higher in pitch when she counts down or approaches the end of a sentence (Four! ThReE!! TWO!!!). Then there were the viewing angles, there was so much bouncing I wanted to throw up. And sometimes the instructor would be doing a lower body focused movement, but the view only showed her hips and higher. So useless! It’s already been mentioned, but it needs to be mentioned again, the instructor doesn’t mirror the audience which gives the video a very unprofessional look.
During the workouts I felt totally unmotivated. Tae Bo might have simple moves, but at least Billy Blanks motivates participants through the workout. The cardio workouts (Boot Camp and Kickbox) were so boring I felt like I could do a better job making up my own workout to music with a good beat.
Don’t waste your money on this one. You’ll be disappointed and then some!

You will work up a good sweat and get a balanced workout, with many workout options, from this DVD. It’s a good bargain for the price, but the instructor does not realize that her right is our left and often she is out of sync with the other two exercisers in the video. Also, the form of the guy in the back is, well, sloppy. If these things won’t bother you, I recommend the video. If you are new to exercise, you might want to try a more reputed instructor, such as Kathy Smith
