Gilad - Step And Tone (DVD, 2005)

I LOVE this video that combines both aerobic and strength training. I have a small child and can rarely work out for more than 15-20 minutes at a time. This DVD has about 8 different 5-10 minute segments that I can do as needed. One day I do the 1st 4 segments, the next day I do the next 4.
Unfortunately, I am still using the VCR tape of it that I bought many years ago because half.com did not have the correct ___ number on it. I've tried to buy it twice in the past 2 years, but received the Sculpt and Tone instead of the Step and Tone. The seller kindly refunded my money.

The reason I purchased this DVD is because it seemed to hit three areas of interest: Gilad, step aerobics and upper body toning. I really enjoy the workout overall. The step workout without the upper body work isn't a challenge, but that's a good thing. The upper body work is mildly challenging, but when you combine the two (and that's fairly easy to do), you're sweating immediately and get a satisfying workout.

Again, I stand by my overall excellent rating, but will mention that while you definitely feel immediate results from the effort you're putting in to the upper body work, I wasn't feeling any soreness or stiffness the next day. That's probably a good thing and I'm no expert, but I've found that I get the best results if I'm at least a little sore after trying a new workout.

Easy to follow workout dvd. Excersises are well though out slowly showing the viewer how to correctly do the excersise and then the routines are made to bring you from any fitness level up to strength. Overall a great excersise DVD. Dvdmagnet
