i love this video because each workout focuses on specific problem area and is only ten minutes long. if you don't have a lot of time or are just starting the exercising circuit, this is great. for those with more time and/or endurance, you can create a workout by grouping two or more routines together. there is also a power stretch to prepare your muscles for the exercise. i also like the cues given by the instructor about when to breathe in and out, to make sure your posture is aligned, and the water reminders. while she does have a lot of energy, she doesn't seem overly peppy in that richard simmons kind of way.
Definitely for beginners...No muscle afterburn... :-( - Reviewed on 2008-12-04

I guess I should have noticed the title of this video...Target Toning for BEGINNERS.

I was looking for a toning video that targeted different parts of the body in short, 10-minute segments; thus I discovered the 10 Minute Solutions series. This video is geared EXCLUSIVELY towards beginners. I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser, and this video didn't make me break a sweat.

The only thing good about this video is that the exercises themselves are quite unique. You won't likely find these same routines on other videos. If you are looking to mix up yor routine, this video may assist you in that venture.

I did not like the instructor. Her dialogue seemed so scripted and fake. She was overly peppy and, in my opinion, extrememly annoying.

I work out daily mostly with advanced workout DVDs (Cathe, Amy, Mindy, etc.). I disagree that this is just for beginners. In fact, it has just the right pace to use heavy weights and if you do, it will kick your butt. Additionally, it is easy to add compound moves making it harder yet (static lunges with tricep overhead press, leg lift with bicep curls, etc.). Cindy is very pleasant and precise in her cuing. I definitely recommend this DVD to any fitness level.

This really is a great video if you haven't done much exercising before. You do get great results and you can customize your workout to suit your needs. Definitely a great place to begin a lifestyle of fitness!

However, after about two months or so you'll begin to plateau and need to do a more intense work out to get stronger. May I recommend 10 Minute Solution - Kickbox Bootcamp? :)

PROS:
- Perfect for beginners - anyone can do this workout!!
- Everything is in ten minute segments so you have no excuse not to work fitness into your lifestyle.
- Each workout is thorough with a warm-up and a cool-down.
- Clear instructions on the workouts.

CONS:
- People that already have a workout routine will not benefit much from this, and may find her explaining everything slightly annoying.
- The workouts rarely get your heart rate up.
- Like many other people have said, her cheerleader attitude gets pretty annoying after awhile. :)

What I like best about this DVD is that the exercise sections really are just 10 minutes (and it goes by surprisingly fast!), but Cindy packs a lot into that short period of time and I've already started to see results! The exercises are all very doable and straight-forward--not a lot of coordination or rhythm required! :)
The DVD is set up so you can choose which of the 5 sections (arms, abs, buns, thighs, or power stretch) you would like to do--I started out doing one per day, and am now up to three on a good day. It's a great workout and Cindy is good at keeping you motivated w/o driving you crazy!
