Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 An all star cast! I don't think you can go wrong here, ! I think I have to have it too!fitgrl222@... wrote: Anyone heard of this workout? I just saw it at Collage and it looks good, I like all the instructors. I wonder how easy or hard it is.... DESCRIPTION: Five 30-minute workouts, each led by a different "star" instructor - Rob Glick, Gay Gasper, Violet Zaki, Spreen and Kendell Hogan. The cuing is superb; the variety is super-motivating - from basic kickboxing drills to dancy combos. Rob's "Party" program emphasizes choreographed combinations that range from mambos to step kicks. Gay's "Expresso" features back-to- basics aerobic favorites like grapevines, repeaters, shuffles and jacks. Violet's "Kick Butt" segment is non-stop cardio kickboxing (plus a few aerobic-tempo push-ups and squats). 's "Power Within" alternates lower-impact aerobics with higher-impact power moves. Kendell's "Peak Performance" features athlete-style exercises like jogs and basketball shoots. (1)©2007 ~**~~**~ See AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi! Some of these workout segments are available on my " On Demand " cable service. The other day I previewed Violet Zaki's workout - it looked good. I'll probably do it next week as my bonus cardio routine. I admit I think this one (and the companion strength workout) are ones I'd like to get! Donna --- Pink Pussycat wrote: > An all star cast! I don't think you can go wrong > here, !

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I gulp with embarassment here that I actually ordered all three DVDs from & Noble during their 3 for 2 sale (I think it is still going on!). I feel silly about ordering them b/c I do get some of them " On Demand " but they're going away this month. I think they are coming up with some new ones. Anyway, I sort of feel silly for making such an impulse purchase, but I figure that all three DVDs rotated together will make a nice, fun and varied rotation -pick a cardio,a strength and an abs section from each DVD for a week. I really need to not be so impulsive with money! LOL! That said, since I like to add on and make up my own routines at times, I think I will get good use out of these!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 hi ! i did a 70 min walk today = 330 cals. there was no wind today...yay! but still i was not walking very fast... basically, the dog was walking me this morning. this evening i did two workouts from 'star trainers:cardio'. the first was led by rob glick who is much better at choreography than i am. the warmup and first combo were ok, but by the time he got to the last combo in the workout, i was modifying and skipping some of it. someone who is better at getting the steps would like this more than i did. 32 mins. kim spreen is one of the backgrounders. the second was led by gay gasper and i really did not like the choreography in this one.... i was completely lost. i made it through the first 15 mins, then did my own workout on the rebounder until they finally got to the short stretch at the end. also 32 mins long. the good news is that i ended up burning another 333 cals during this 64 mins both of these workouts are thumbs down for me, personally. im interested in what others think of this dvd. there are 3 other routines on the disc, so hopefully i like at least one of them. right now im liking the star trainers strength dvd alot more. hopefully the rental place will send me the abs dvd to try soon. :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (a week later) Great job on the 70 min walk, about Star Trainers: Cardio, I didn't like what I saw of them at CollageVideo. Hopefully you get (or got ) some good feedback.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi Carolyn! I did Violet's workout off the TV - and I did like it and got some slight DOMS in my legs from it. I agree though, not quite what was expected (I too expected a more traditional kickboxing routine). I tried Rob's workout this morning - it was eh. I am not 100% disappointed that I bought this DVD but I'm also not 100% happy that I did either - I should have restrained myself and rented/borrowed it instead. But, I did get a good deal from B & N, but now I have to deal with the return of the defective strength DVD(see my check in from this morning!) GRR!
