20-Minute Total Body Strengthener

Great workout. - 5/23/2013 7:37:44 AM

OMG, I did some of this butt kicking exercise today. I got as far as the pushups whew. Great workout cant wait till I am fit enought to do it all! Ilove all the combinations. I already do some of these in different variations. I agree with METRAJAN knowing how many calories are burnt would be great. - 4/4/2013 9:41:12 PM

Good Workout. Is it possible to know how much (roughly) calories will be burnt at the end of this exercise. Assume, all steps are done with a weight of 2 KGs (4.4 lbs) each dumbbell.
Thanks

I had playback problems, but it's a good series with some new combiinations - 2/18/2013 7:45:56 AM

good, solid workout! I feel results the day after. - 2/9/2013 12:45:04 PM

LIke this workout. I already do some of these, or a variation of them in gym classes. This will give me a good visual as I try to do them at home. It's always better/easier if you have a visual reference rather than having to try to remember the exercise or sequence and also will make me do them all rather than skipping to ones I like the most. - 1/30/2013 8:16:43 AM

I was concerned after watching this video and discovered that it was not for a beginner. I am relieved. I thought her form and the flow of the exercises were great. - 1/23/2013 7:01:56 PM

as i watched this video i saw a lot i could do but as she said i might have to take a rest in between some of the excerises, but saw where i could change it around for someone like me who has copd. easy to follow. like it a lot. - 1/21/2013 6:41:07 PM

I thought the routine was pretty good-I had to modify certain moves like the pushup presses/plank-I'm not that advanced in upper body strength yet but it was a challenge and was great to jump start my morning. It would be really wonderful if there was a picture in picture with 1 person doing a modify version for those who are not so advanced yet. :) - 1/11/2013 10:05:32 AM

KRISTIN9924, I agree with you that the reps are a little fast to keep proper form. What I did was watched the video and created a spreadsheet with a list of the exercises and notes on how to perform them properly. This way I can do them at my own pace and I'm not tied to the computer.

As for those who have arthritis problems, Tai Chi and Qi Gong are excellent exercises. I have lupus and can't always perform standard exercises so I looked into other options. Tai Chi is actually recommended for arthritic patients. Qi Gong is the more gentle of the two. I have videos of both because during a bad flare I can't perform all of the Tai Chi exercises. - 12/24/2012 3:18:57 PM

Great workout. I liked the instructor and basic moves. - 11/30/2012 11:25:57 AM

I'm not crazy about this workout. I like how it combines upper and lower body movements to make it a very effect and short workout. However, the reps are a little too fast for me to keep up with while still maintaining good form. I noticed one of my knees starting to hurt so I just stuck with the upper body movements. - 11/27/2012 11:36:47 AM

I love this workout. At first it seemed as if it was going to be too easy, but boy it got my heart rate up there and bythe end I was really glad I did it. I can see I will need to do this several times to be able to actually do all the pushup as she does them. I look forward to doing this workout at least one or two times a week between my cardo workouts. Yeah. Thank you SparkPeople for this video. - 11/26/2012 3:38:53 PM

I have terriable knees and the lunges and squats really hurt my knees so I didnt go too low in my squats and lunges, but it was still a great work out. Used 5 lb weights and stretched for 10 min after the video and I feel great. Its a combination of tired and energized. I want to do this video again tomorow! - 11/26/2012 1:30:43 PM

good tricep moves - 11/26/2012 1:27:24 PM
