TODAY'S WORKOUT: 10 Minute Solution - Carb Burner (Programs 1,2,3)

This is a new workout DVD that I'm renting from Netflix. Netflix has many workout DVDs available for rent. It's great to be able to try before you buy. It's very frustrating to fork over a bunch of cash to purchase a new DVD only to discover it's not what you were expecting or, worse yet, it just plain stinks.

This DVD is made up of five 10 minute workouts. The menu allows you to pick and choose how many and which of the sections you wish to do, which makes it very easy to put a workout together whether you have only 10 or a full 50 minutes of time available. I also like the fact that you can change things up so you aren't stuck doing the same exact workout day after day, which can get really boring really fast. Since this was my first time through, I just started at the beginning and let it play. One thing I don't like about it is, since each 10 minute section is considered a complete stand alone workout, the instructor doesn't waste a single second of time. The movements are very rapid, there is very little warm-up or cool down, and the few stretches she does include aren't held long enough because she's in such a hurry to get on to the next thing. Someone could easily hurt themselves if they weren't careful. I wouldn't recommend this one for a beginner.
