I received this last week and have completed all of the workouts. Some critism of two DVD's from another reviewing is noted and while it could have fit on one DVD, how can he charge so much for one, so he put it on two. Bad move, but he's making money. Speaking of which, the price is hefty, but WELL WORTH IT. Yes he stands around and talks, because HE IS YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER with this. Individual training sessions in a gym can cost up to $80/hour. He walks you through and explains the moves instead of doing them so you know you are doing them right. He's fit as can be and focuses his attention on you so you can get the same results.

The enclosed workout schedule offers a mix and match approach from one to three routines matched up daily over 4 weeks with one day off a week. 10 min a day for min results, 2 routines (20 min) for improved results, and 3 routines (30 min) for max results. Bands are optional but included. My doors are old and so I use weights and or omit the bands. This system is perfect for me. I also have his p90x and love it as well, but sometimes don't have the time to do it.

You can increase or decrease intensity based on your needs and that's why I like it. For total or lower body, my strength, I push it. For upper body and abs, my weakness, I rest and use his modified moves that he shows you, and I can still feel it. YOU CAN GROW WITH THIS PROGRAM and that's why it's pretty cool. Busy, one 10 minute workout and you'll feel it. More time, then do two or three.

As usual for most every workout, the warm up and cool down are short, so I always do it twice or just keep going on my own. Also, his Yoga is a combo of simple yoga for stretching and can be done daily as it really improves flexibility. I can't believe I wrote this much about the program after one week, but it got me off my butt and working out again after I moved and have not worked out in about three months. A+ Tony...and THANKS!

Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer is fabulous, and I must say this on behalf of myself and my husband (a person who absolutely DREADS working out in front of the TV).

This 10 minute trainer comes with 5 videos which last approximately 10 minutes in duration. I must let you know that if you plan to do the workout with the warm up (2 min) and cool down (2 min), your workout duration time will actually increase to 14 minutes per segment. The 5 workouts are cardio, total body, lower body, abs, and yoga flex.

Cardio- 10 minutes of agility drills, kicks, lunges, etc. (The program comes with resistance bands with a waist strap that you must attach to the door. It definitely increases resistance! You don't have to use it if you choose not to.)

Abs- 10 minutes with 20 exercises lasting 30 seconds each- This is one tough ab workout. I would compare the level of challenge to Tamilee Webb's I want those abs workout (another tough ab workout)!

Total body- 10 minutes of challenging your whole body to a great workout

Lower body- 10 minutes that incoroporates some use of the resistance band to target those thighs and glutes

Yoga Flex- 10 minutes of yoga poses (Yogis out there might not like this segment since there is very little emphasis on breathing and centering your mind)

I try to fit this in every evening in addition to my 30-60 minute workout I perform in the morning, and it is great. If my husband will do it without a fight, it is worth trying!

I have been regularly exercising for over 30 years. I must say that Horton's workouts are not for beginners. You really have to know what you're doing, and how to modify the workouts for your particular body type, injuries, etc.

As a working mom, there are some days that I cannot get to the gym, or devote more than a half hour tops for working out. I bought this system to supplement my workout routine.

If I only have 10 minutes, I do the 10 minute cardio or the yoga flex or lower body. But 10 minutes is actually 12 or 13, as the clock stops between each move. It also takes a long time to switch back and forth between CDs, which is frustrating.

If I have 30 minutes or so, I do another Beach Body system, such as Yoga Booty Ballet or Kathy Smith. This is because I find their transitions and cueing to be much better, and not as rough on the body.

Finally: while I enjoy the Beach Body programs, I do find their infomercials, which come at the end of each DVD, to be disruptive, loud, and annoying. If I have just completed a yoga workout, I don't want a screaming announcer to IMMEDIATELY come on and try to sell me something. This completely destroys the relaxation that I just worked so hard to achieve.
