Men's Health 15 Minute Workout

This DVD is broken down into four different workouts. Each workout is about 15 minutes long, and you're meant to do the exercises while the video is playing although conceivably you could watch it and then take the routines to the gym too. I have a home gym so this DVD was ideal for me. The workouts were challenging and interesting, and some of the moves I had never done before. I used lighter weights than I might normally would just to make sure that I had the routines down. The moves require a lot of concentration, endurance and perseverance. I was surprised at how taxing they were. I realized it more when I met a friend to play tennis and had trouble moving around the court because my legs were exhausted. The leg workout is by far the best on the DVD. My only drawback was that each workout is only two circuits or two sets so if you want to do the exercises longer, you have to restart the DVD. But that's not a huge problem. The filming of the DVD was pretty straight for... Read more

A terrible video. 1/3 of it is standing around watching them talk among themselves taking a break. I did not pay to watch people talk. Save your money on this one.

Purchased this dvd for my husband and son to use -- they wanted an "all guy" dvd so this seemed ideal. Gave to my teenage son to watch and he was shocked that it had sexual content promoted in it and furthermore the female instructor in the video further enhanced this concept as she looked more like she belonged on an x rated film and she would bend down to reveal her very unreal looking cleavage. It was tacky and tasteless -- and not necessary. We don't want a fitness video that does not show real women and that focuses more on feeding the visual desires of men and this is not what they want to be preoccupied with in their workouts. This was not a family friendly video and we are going to throw this one out. We were impressed with Tom Holland workouts and so for the moment the men in this home will have to stick with this until some more decent dvds are released.

This is a great video. It includes 4 complete and different routines to follow and each are only 15 minutes long. The workouts are easy to follow and intensity can be increased by increasing the weights that you use. Knowing that it is only 15 minutes long makes it easier for me to stick to doing this on a regular basis. Who can't work in 15 minutes a day? (well, actually every other day is what you are supposed to do) The only complaint I might have is that the disclaimer at the beginning, which you cannot skip, is too long and I don't like having to wait for it to finish so I just turn it on and go to something else for a few minutes first.

The intention of the producer is to provide one with a 15 minute workout. The problem is a significant portion of the time is spent explaining the routine. Therefore, repeated viewings need to be fast forwarded past this replication. Otherwise, IMHO, all exercise videos have an up side.
