Shape: 20 Minute Makeover

This is a MUST HAVE!
Elise Gulan does an AMAZING job with choreographing this DVD! There is minimal equipment required, just a set of 3 lb weights. Elise is an excellent instructor. She has an upbeat (not annoying) personality, her cueing is right on, and she reminds you to breathe- something I tend to forget =) There are modifications for beginner and advanced with Elise demonstrating intermediate/advanced.

SHAPE:20 Minute Makeover DVD has two main sections:

+ 20-minute interval training
+ Target toning segments; arms,abs,lower-body,&cardio

The 20 minute interval training, alternates low intensity moves with high energy cardio. Elise does a great job getting the heart rate up utilizing the high/low technique -using lunge lifts, squat throws, jumping jacks, and plie jumps. The low intensity moves involve holding positions while pulsing then switching to flowing movements. She also incorporates balance, so grab a chair just in case, there are some wobbly moments...

Amazing workout in 20 minutes!!
I just got this DVD and have been using it almost daily (in addition to Elise's Yoga workout). I'm a total gym rat, and my job takes me away from home for 2 weeks out of the month. The gym in this small town is horrible, so I am stuck using the fitness center in the hotel. (Does a stationary bike count as a "center"?) I have been using this DVD for over a week and am realizing that I don't have to spend an hour on the treadmill and an hour on the spin bike for a great workout. This 20 minutes really kicks my butt! I'm loving it! I'm so happy that I found this workout! I don't need much room, and I pack my 3lb weights in my carry-on when I travel. Elise is an amazing, inspiring instructor! She will whip your butt into shape and have you smiling along the way. Thanks, Elise!!

Can't believe what can be done in 20 minutes!!!
I have had a chance to do a bunch of different combinations of the 10 and 20-minute workouts on this DVD and every one of them has been awesome. If you're like me and don't always have a ton of time to work out, this is the solution - every segment is incredibly efficient and really gives you a full body workout. It's awesome!!
