Body Sculpting Collection

Hard to follow some of the routines

I’ve gone through my fair share of fitness videos. This one is straight up fun and easy. The steps aren’t hard to learn and you can put as little or as much into the steps as you want. The cardio is good. Time will tell if it burns what I want it to.

OMG, there is a quick ab routine and a 30 minute routine. I have the original Core Rhythms Set but this set caught my eye because of the specific ab routines! I am TELLING you t get this set asap ya'll! I did the 30 minute ab section for a week and I could see the definition coming in my abs AND my Oblique area had visibly gone in (the side ab area). I bought my set here on Amazon and literally only paid for shipping because the set was priced at ONE PENNY!!! I LOVE it! I have over 200 Fitness Dvd's and about 20 of those are for the Abs...this is BY FAR the quickest that I have ever seen results. I am not a thin girl, about 180 and I carry most of my weight below my waist. I don't have a lot of fat in the ab area but there is some. I definitely need to loose some inches there and toning my abs has always been a goal that I have never reached. I am for CERTAIN that this 30 minute ab routine will do the job! I am sooo happy that I made this purchase!

The workout with Jaana is good. It really can help, as a female, to shape our curves in the waist and hips with consistent use. If your goal, however, is to burn calories to lose weight, her workouts may not necessarily be that effective. The workout by Julia is probably better for burning calories than Jaana's but it is very confusing. I am a person who can do basic dance steps and as a Caribbean person I am blessed with the ability to keep timing, however it can get to be very frustrating to keep timing with Julia. She is not very consistent. I only use Jaana's workout for the purpose of toning.

As soon as you put in the dvd(s) you're greeted with fun and exciting up-tempo music. You've got the choice to have the music louder if you've already got the moves down pat, or if you chose to dance along with the beautiful, fun and ultra encouraging instructors. Going from zero to sixty with my work outs might not have been a great idea as I barely made it through the cardio workout. But I did and I felt very refreshed, accomplished and SORE (Which is a good thing)! Now I can't wait to get home from sitting at work all day and bust a move and shrink this waistline. Although the moves are very fast paced, don't give up- just keep moving and jump back in when you can. The greatest thing about this simple DVD is that whenever I hear music I automatically dance and feel great about it, no matter where I am! Good luck, and congratulations in advance for your accomplishments!

I bought this DVD set because I wanted to strengthen my abs and leg muscles without getting down on the floor or using equipment. I can tell that it's working because I feel the burn every time. I'm not coordinated and it takes me a while to learn the moves. That's why I don't do exercise routines in public. With the sculpting DVD's, I was able to gradually learn most of the steps. I haven't been using the cardio DVD. I tried it once and it was so fast and complex for me, that I haven't attempted it since that first time. I'll probably try again, but for now I've been focusing on the two sculpting DVD's. The lower body workout is about 25 minutes long. The abs routine is about 35 minutes long and the quick ab workout takes about 6 minutes. These are perfect for someone like me, who doesn't have a lot of time for exercise.

The DVDs are ok. However I was not notified when the item was shipped. Email queries about the shipment were never answered. I selected expedited shipping however the DVDs appeared like standard shipping. Overall DVDs were great but the "on edge" experience of not knowing if, and when they would arrive was not good.

I haven't done the workouts yet but I know it's just what I want. The only thing is that it took the seller three weeks to mail it so it was a month from the time I ordered it until I got it.
