Summary: SWAT
Comment: I have to say that this video is very effective. You will feel the difference and the burn when you are consistant with both of the SWAT Workouts. In the warm-up, I thought it went a little slow. I just didn't feel quite as motivated with the SWAT workout as I have with other workouts. Not to say that this is not a good video to use as I do alternate it with my other videos for variety. You will sweat and you will feel better after each of the SWAT workouts. But if you want motivation and excitement, you might want to try a different route.

Summary: This one gets an A+!
Comment: It matters not whether you want to gradually get in shape or are already VERY pumped up...this will be a staple in your workout library. Not only is the instructor brilliant (in both S.W.A.T videos I have) at working muscles other dvds just don't seem to reach (he calls it a workout from your ears to your toes and he's right...it works every muscle..o.k., not really your ears or toes!...I workout daily but I'll feel his workout the next day in those places other videos don't get)
He's funny and outgoing and an amazing instructor...rare find in a workout video but it sure makes it go faster when it's enjoyable! You'll learn how to do every move RIGHT. He is great at explaining form. Just starting out? Use lighter weights...
This is the best strength training video I have ever found. It will change and firm your body RAPIDLY.
To get cardio and strength in one mega workout, try his other SWAT fat burning workout.
Combine the two and you really need no other video!
I have over 100 workout dvds...it's my favorite form of working out and he remains my favorite instructor. Nothing "put on" no "fake toughness"...he's good at instruction, a great workout, but also entertaining to listed to repeatedly.
The set and the rest of the crew round out just a great dvd. I continue to check for a new release and hope we see one soon.

Summary: It's either SWAT or it's NOT!
Comment: Just buy the dvd. You'll like it. Get the weight loss one too. nI do both videos twice a week and do not diet at all. I have lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks!

Summary: It's Either SWAT, or it's not!
Comment: This and the Extreme Weight Loss and Fat Burning are by far my favorite workouts! For an intense training day, I combine both workouts for a serious cardio and toning regiment, and I can honestly say that (even though it's challenging) I WANT to do it! There are few workouts out there that I look forward to doing! Commander Tom is so great! His direction is clear and motivating, and he knows exactly how to train you so that you stay focused and strong, and really utilize all areas for a whole-body experience. My endurance, body tone, and stamina have increased tremendously since I've done the workouts. I use lighter weights (5-8 lbs) since there are lots of repetitions, but the idea is to keep the body moving, steadily raising and lowering the heart-rate, keeping the blood pumping so that your heart and lungs are working at the optimal levels. Commander Tom says that in doing these workouts he wants us to feel that we're in the best shape of our lives, and I can truly say I'm getting there! Everyday I do it, I feel stronger and happier!

Summary: Almost thorough yet still a good workout
Comment: I did this DVD for the first time today. I think the reviews are very accurate and reflect what one will expect during the workout. There are some distractions that may hinder beginners such as:
* Miscues and miscounts even with the 5-count countdown clock- many times Tom doesnt keep up with the counting and you have to be aware of where you're at until the countdown clock shows up.
* The back-up female workout supporters don't always sync up with Tom so you'll see some going in opposite directions than he is.
* I believe there are different viewpoints that when you, the workout person, are moving in one direction, the camera goes to Tom when he is moving in the opposite direction.
* Background props of a Humvee w/ blinking lights are distracting but one can learn to ignore them
I think Tom is personable but tries too hard to be so. If he would focus on the workout and not schmoozing with the ladies, he'd be fine.
The workout hits the biceps, triceps, shoulders, and legs. There is no direct chest or back work aside from a little bit of back row combined with a tricept press. You'll need to work these areas after or between sets. He does offer 3-sets of push-ups for chest/back/tricep work as well as bicycle crunches (I think he goes too fast for one to maintain correct form and increases likelihood that you will strain your next attempting to touch your knees at such a fast pace. Recommend you slow down, keep form and catch up with the workout)
All in all, its a good workout especially if done 3x a week with a goal of minimal weight increase of 1-2% (i.e. 3lb, 5lb, 8lb) No need for high weights for this workout due to the low-weight/hi-rep focus. If done twice (warm-up, workout, power blast, workout, cool down) you'll get at least a 100-min workout and it will be worth it.
