Takes a couple times to get used to...

I love leisa hart videos - I started when I was pregnant with her FitMama Prenatal video and loved it so much I bought the Fitmama Postnatal workout. And both kept me in great shape during and after my pregnancy! Now that I need a more challenging workout I've gotten this video and I LOVE it. I dont have the core bar so I can't comment on that, but I would like to get one. Right now I'm just using dumbbells and that's fine too. The choreography is really great and really gets you working - However, it takes a bit of learning. The cues come fast and I felt a little clumsy the first two or three times I did it, but now I can keep up. I feel SOOO good after doing her videos. She's a great fitness personality - not at all like some of those other annoying trainers in home fitness videos!! November 14, 2005

GREAT!!!

the Core Bar makes this video very worthy of beng in my rotation, i loved the stenght moves and felt the muscles in all major areas of my body getting a solid and fun workout. The Core Bar is very reasonable compared to other pieces of fitness equipment, and i always find myself enjoying the next day feeling i get when i do a Leisa Hart video, she makes working out to a home video fun and not boring, she is good and her workouts are too :-) August 8, 2005

Core Bar is GREAT, workout is very good too

I read Gibby Girls review of this DVD and had to respond....she is totally wrong and unfortunately wrote a review that makes no sense. She complained about the Core Bar but doesn't have one. Well, I do, and I LOVE IT! The Core Bar is absotlutely useful in this workout, it gets your balance and focus in line and you feel the effects of the simple moves that generate power in the core muscles. I read other reviews from Gibby Gril, and its apparent she writes alot of negative reviews, really mean. This dvd is well worth it, it is a very sold workout and the Core Bar is a fine piece of fitness equipment. May 25, 2005

horrible

I rented this video from Netflix first because I was skeptical of the glowing reviews. I'm really glad I didn't waste my money on this one. First of all, I don't have the Core bar, but it seems like another piece of unecessary equipment.

The Core bar isn't necessary for the workout...there is one participant who uses dumbells. The workout itself is rather clumsy and the Core bar makes it even worse. It's like she's desparately trying to incorporate the Core bar into moves that don't need it.

The production and music is awful. The movements are so awkward that you can only use light weights or risk injury. I was really disappointed by this one.

If you're looking for a good 30 minute toning workout, try Crunch's Caridiosculpt or Bootcamp. May 18, 2005
