Summary: Love It!!!
Comment: This video is one of the best I've tried. It seems easy at first but boy is it deceiving! It works you out very hard in just the 10 minutes plus you can go on if you want to and do more. I love it and would recommend it to anyone needing a workout with limited time!

Summary: nice routine to add to my regular line-up
Comment: this is a very good dvd, i would say for an intermediate level. i was not at beginner level when i introduced it into my weekly exercise routine (3 times a week power walking, 3 days a week, 10 minute solution dvd, which i vary), and the first couple of days afteward, my ribs hurt when i sneezed!
she is a good instructor and fairly easy to follow.
*she has the lower body workouts which are effective, but not too difficult for someone who is already in shape.
*i like the arm/shoulder routine very much. it is the first arm routine i've seen in the 10 minute series where you are using weights for a total of 8 minutes straight, with no break. it is true that you can not switch the weights during the routine, unless you want to miss some of the reps. just use whatever weights are right for u. it's become easier as i've gotten used to it, but was quite challenging initially; still makes me break a sweat, though. and seems to be great at shaping your arms and shoulders very very nicely!
*AB routine excellent and very effective. i like starting with a total of 64 crunches on the ball! during the AB section, i do have some trouble keeping the ball in place during the oblique crunches, it seems to slip out of place, when i lean sideways on it.
*cardio routine fast and fun, overall. not terribly difficult; there were a few harder segments - pulse and jumps, jacks with ball, but overall, not too tough to keep up with.
a few negatives:
* at times, her cueing is not great. she will say, now we'll add a shoulder press here, and then she won't add it till she's done 2 more bicep curls, while you've been ready to do the shoulder press already. you have to get used to that.
her counting during the pulse and jump reps in the cardio segment is NOT good AT ALL. she counts 4, 3, 2 jump, however; she is pulsing down 4, 3, 2 , ONE and then jumping. make sure you count on your own for FOUR pulses. even she confuses herself with it, and at one point, she pulses for only 3 and then jumps, and messes up on 2 reps.
* i also dislike that there is virtually NO cool down stretches at all. in other 10 min. solution dvd's i use, there are a few cool down seconds, without taking away from the efficiency of the routines. for example, in the AB segment, after the 10 min. workout, she has u do a child's pose curl and that is it. after the cardio routin, you also have a couple of stretches to very quickly bring your heart rate down.
one more point, i have a hearing loss and wear 2 hearing aids. although i can hear the tv when it's on, it's tough for me to understand new words, esp. during a fast paced workout and I am very pleased with the closed captioned on the dvd! a nice surprise, since the first one i have - target toning for beginners, does not have closed captioned.
overall, i LUV the 10 minute solution series. Of all the dvd's i have in the series (target toning for beginners, tone trouble zones & hot body boot camp - amy bento, and this one) i do the first four segments (don't have the extra time for the final stretch segment...). i do recommend this dvd and think it's a fun, effective way to change up your routine.

Summary: Great love the 10 minute style and I can easily choose which area I wish to work.
Comment: I'm new to the stability ball and I enjoyed that she was easy to follow. Loved the ease of creating my own 20 minute workout by choice. Looking forward to now picking up some of the ohter 10 minute work outs.

Summary: Gets even better with time
Comment: I bought this DVD about 1-1/2 years ago and I use it even more now than when I bought it. I initially used just the upper body exercises, and then added the aerobic, then the core and now I use the whole DVD when I have time. When I use the DVD regularly, my stomach is flatter than the trainers at the gym EVER made it (for alot more money!)
Kimberly actually is more endearing the more I use the video - some work out videos become more annoying with time.
I really do love what this video does for me!

Summary: 10 Minute Soltion Workout DVD
Comment: Love this DVD. You can workout throught the whole DVD or just do the 10 minute parts if you have less time. It is a lot of fun. I feel it is a good worksout without being to hard.

NO TIME TO EXERCISE? We have the solution for you! Instructor Kimberly Spreen has developed 5 distinctive, ultra-effective Fitness Ball workouts, each one specially designed to tighten and tone your body. And the real secret of the ball is that it works your midsection without you even knowing it. Just by maintaining balance on the ball, you constantly activate your core muscles—so all the workouts will help give you leaner, flatter abs. Voted Top Workout of 2006 by Natural Health Magazine, this DVD allows you to split these 10 minute sections into 5 separate workouts, or mix and match to hit your own unique problem areas … or do all of them together! BUTT & THIGH TONE-UP: You’ll get incredible results from this segment – the ball allows you to really target specific muscle groups so you can tone, tighten and shape your entire lower body. ARMS & SHOULDER SCULPTOR: This segment incorporates light hand weights and utilizes the fitness ball to help you achieve sexy, sleek, and toned shoulders and arms. FIRM, FLAT ABS: The fitness ball gets you up off the floor and helps you to isolate the deepest muscles of your entire abdominal area so you’ll get better results, faster. TOTAL BODY FAT BURNER: This surprisingly fun and unique segment is a whole different take on the fitness ball – you’ll bounce, toss and roll the ball while you burn fat and calories! ULTRA STRETCH: You can achieve the deepest, most satisfying and effective stretches by using the fitness ball. You’ll want to do this segment again and again.
