This is my first 10 minute solution dvd and i love it!! I've done all of the workouts, (I usually do one or two a day along with another workout dvd) and I was so sore the next day, which is good because I know it's working! My favorite one is the sleek & sexy abs, she really knows how to burn the belly fat! The band helps to hold resistance and really get your muscles working. I'm already feeling my muscles getting toned thanks to the resistance band. I definitely plan to get more 10 minute solution dvd's.

With regard to this video, as with most of the reviewers, she does move VERY quickly between each move. However, she does let you know ahead of time how many sets, and counts it down so you're aware of when it's going to change up. I was caught a bit off guard at first, but after about 3 mins into the first routine, I was fine. It just takes getting used to. I would also suggest buying another power band. The one that they offer with this video (the same one they offer with their other DVD's), tangles very quickly. It takes time to get it undone and THAT can contribute to slowing you down with a routine that moves as quickly as Amy's. I enjoy the DVD a lot. I own this one and Suzanne Bowen's Pilates DVD with power band. I like them both, but I have to admit that I am more of a strength training individual than I am a Pilate’s type. Regardless, you won't go wrong with either one. It's more a preference in your workout style. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Pretty Good

The workout is good. The transitions from positions are too fast. Her stretches before and after workouts are too fast as well. If you want to do your own stretching that might work out better. I give the rating a 3 star mostly because of these reasons.

Perfect for Beginners!

This is the only workout DVD I have ever stuck with. I absolutely love it. It is ideal for beginners but, with enough resistance, can work quite well for more advanced individuals too. I am highly uncoordinated and still have no problems following along. I only wish I could give it more than five stars.

Good workout, but really fast-paced

I just recently got rid of my gym membership in an effort to save some money and so I have been stocking up on workout DVD's and stumbled across the 10 minute solution series. This DVD got pretty good ratings and I liked the idea of using a resistance band, so I bought this one. I like the energy of the instructor and she cues well and explains everything really well, but she goes SO fast! The exercises are great though- you can really feel the burn, it's just going to take me a few times to get the exercises down and get used to the pace of the video. I would suggest that you watch the video before working out to it the first time- this will allow you to have an idea of what to be prepared for. My favorite part was the stretching segment at the end- the band really helps to take the stretching up a notch and she goes MUCH slower. Overall, I think this is a nice addition to my rotation and I would recommend it to others.
