Pros: Many different choices in this lengthy double sided five disc set.
Cons: Completely outdated, from the mid eighties to mid nineties, music sucks, and programs are tedious.
The Bottom Line: Money better spent elsewhere. Actually, just jump in place for awhile and not only will you save money, you'll probably have more fun.
ellenej22's Full Review: 10 Best Fitness - 10 Video Set
When the first video I try has a woman who acts like she's on crack , wearing a god-awful early nineties leotard and big hair, I know if I can manage to stifle my laughter long enough, I am still not going to find the workout very satisfying.
I really try to give this DVD set a chance. I have followed along with the majority of them, but have not found any to be very effective or at all fun and exciting. If you can get past the bad hair and men in leotards with different colored cups, you may be able to get a moderate workout in. But things have changed so much just in the past ten years when it comes to methods of exercising, it's probable that many of the moves in this set could be done more effectively as more research has been done to find the best results.
Many of the women in the videos have very "eighties aerobics" bodies. Thin, without any muscle tone. When I do an exercise video, I want to watch women that look like how I would like to eventually look. Back in the eighties, when our idols were Cyndi Lauper, this set would've been fabulous! But the emaciated too thin look is out, and the slender but more "cut" look is what I strive for. It makes me NOT want to do these exercises in fear that I will end up looking like this!
I was thoroughly dissapointed after purchasing this DVD set. I would highly recommend you dish out a little more dough and by the Firm series, or heck, even that annoyingly perky Denise Austin. There is just nothing remarkable about this set. Basically you can pick any segment, for example, the tai bo section, and it is WELL WORTH the extra money to spend on buying Billy Blanks instead. Same with the pilates section, or the yoga, or step aerobics. It is so reasonably priced I had an inkling it would be too good to be true, and as usual, it was.
Bottom line- there is MUCH better out there, and finding better may be one of the easiest things you've ever done in your entire life.
