Transform You Body With Brooke Burke: Ton and Tighten

All her dvds are great! Including this one. But I don’t recommend for someone who’s into extreme high intensity workout I’d go for more hardcore like Shawn T. But for beginners and medium I recommend this DVD

I will start by saying this is my first online review of any product, ever. But I really like this video enough to want to share my opinion. I own a lot of workout DVDs such as several by The Firm, Mitch Gaylord Melt it Off, Jillian Michaels and some kettlebell workouts. This workout really is a great blend of challenging but doable. Each exercise is done for a max of one minute, so even when they are tough, when you know it is one minute, you can push through it. Brooke is not annoying at all. And those of you who do other videos know exactly what I mean by this. some instructors are just too annoying to listen to time and time again. She also demonstrates each move before it begins. This is one complaint I have about The Firm. I do wish the music was a little more upbeat, and have the moves go to the beat. And the total length is about an hour. It is tough to find a full hour, but you can do just certain parts of the workout if you are short on time. I have not been doing the video long enough to see results yet (2 weeks total, 2-3 times a week), but I have plenty of videos that I have tried and shelved after just a few times but this is one I will stick with as I do enjoy it, as much as exercise can be "enjoyed". I also I feel like this will produce some good results if I am consistent and watch my eating.

I'm 20 years old, about 100 pounds and new to exercise dvds. This dvd is actually the second dvd I have boughten. I personally loved this dvd.I feel like it's a good balance to keep your heart rate up but not make you want to fall over from exhaustion. I thought the dvd went at a good pace and really does work every muscle you have in your body. I got through the whole dvd and loved how my body felt. Burning and like jello but a good kind of burn (as Brooke would say)Also, Brooke was a great motivator. I found myself smiling on more than one occasion as she tried to push you to continue the workout.Brooke was also great at showing you how to do each move. On some moves they even showed her at a different angle to really help you understand how to do the movement.The only thing I didn't like, as some people have already mentioned, was the modifications. Most of the modifications were not mentioned untill 30-40 seconds into the routine. I personally didn't mind all that much because the regular routine wasn't all that difficult for me but for someone getting into shape who needs that modification it might be irritating. Plus, it doesn't look too professional to ahve to remind your backup to do a modification.Aside from that though, I love love love this dvd. I'm definitly going to be adding this into my rotation for exercise dvds. I don't know if from this dvd alone you could get scuplted like Brooke but I'm willing to find out.

I bought this dvd based on the reviews and because am a big fan of Brooke Burkes - her body is amazing so I wanted to check out how she supposedly does it. Ok, sorry but it's not this workout alone by any means - not after four kids LOL.The workout itself isn't bad, the time went by pretty quickly and I wasn't bored...I just wasn't pushed that hard either. I have every Jillian Michaels dvd and along with every Jackie Warner dvd, and this is DEFINITELY not as hard.One thing I really did not enjoy was the two longish periods of stretching in the middle of the dvd [a few minutes each time but you literally stop working out, go to the floor, and start stretching] - I mean come on, stretching is for the beginning and the end of a workout - how can you keep your heart rate up if you're stopping mid-way to stretch more than once in a 40 minute video? That kind of killed it for me. I fast forwarded the stretch sections but honestly, how is this inter/adv if you stop to do sections of full stretches?The squat section was pretty good and the ab section was great but other than that, I wouldn't choose this over Jillian's NMTZ by any means or if I want a really solid workout - this is more for beginner/intermediate.The other issue is the modifications, if you are trying to get in shape and need/want to use modifications, you might have some trouble with this - BB does each move for a minute and doesn't really show you a modification until about 30 - 40 seconds into the move - sometimes she actually had to remind the person to actually show a modification...I still gave it four stars because it isn't bad, I just don't believe her when she says this was all she did to get her body back after four kids...must be some ridiculous metabolism...if you want a decent workout then get this. I really enjoyed the setting [warehouse, garden scene outside]. Brooke Burke has a lot of energy and she is motivating, she counts you down on most moves in the last 10 seconds which as nice and again, the abs series was really great. Enjoy.
