Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I am going start my review stating that I purchased this product from a reseller here in Amazon.com and, as a previous reviewer noted, I was very suspicious I received a "fake" - the reason is I received all items loose in a padded shipping envelope - the only thing wrapped in plastic was the DVD. It all looked like it was pieced together from an open box product. I contacted the seller and he "reassured" me everything was "new" and If I wasn't happy I could return it all. I was missing the cardio belt and tape measure as well...I didn't return it for I wasn't going to do anything attached to a door with the cardio belt on anyways. My big caveat with this workout "kit" is that the price is too high for what you get but I gave in and purchased it anyways.
Ok about me, I am a 47 y/o male who was been working out using kickboxing/Taebo videos for the last year and I was doing it becuase I want to lose weight and I really want to get fit. I was looking for something different and less time consuming becuase I think I reached a plateau using kick boxing only. I read the reviews here and I ordered it and I have been using it for a week now only using the cardio and total body workouts and here are my findings:
1)***It is NOT for beginners period. Both sections require good coordination/flexibilty/balance, healthy heart and lungs and the ability to, at least, do lunges which Tony uses a lot of. You also need a clock with a seconds hand for Tony does not count reps. but tells you to do reps/moves/body sides in seconds (totaling up to one minute) which made it hard to follow and almost forces you to keep your eyes glued to the television. I had to pause the DVD multiple times becuase Tony goes fast to keep within the 10 minutes and also I had modify some moves becuase I am not that flexible or that strong yet! Remember, they are condensing a complete workout in a 10 minute time frame. I found Tony funny and rather goofy but motivating so it made it easier to follow.
2) The cardio section is high impact, it uses "running in place" boot-camp style combination moves that are high impact...I have a tile floor and my legs, knees and feet took a severe pounding! Also you do lunge type moves. It's fast and, believe me on this one, you need to catch your breath at times and you will sweat A LOT! If you don't have a lot of floor space, you will need to modify the moves too. If you live in a 2nd floor - your downstairs neighbors will complain! I am not a big fan of high impact cardio. but I will give it a shot a few more times to finally judge.
3) The total body workout uses Tony Horton's muscle confusion techniques and work various muscle groups - upper and lower body simultaneously. You need balance and coordination as well as the ability to do lunges (once again)in this section. He uses the resistance band(which comes with the set and is of medium resistance) for almost all the exercises in this section - personally - I find the band a hassle because you need to set it up for each exercise and calculate the resistance - which may require you to pause the video and in the video they switch them from one excercise to another quickly. I will probably switch to dumbells later as I get the hang of the exercises in this section. This section also requires you to do pushups and sit ups as well - i you can't do pushups try using your knees for leverage and for the sit ups he uses the band wrapped around your feet with you holding the handles to help you complete the sit up. The video ends with various versions of burpees/squat thrusts with and without pushups which I simply couldn't do yet but he gives an easier option if you can't. I liked this total body workout because the techniques you use are unique, challenging, definitely work all upper/lower muscle groups very effectively.
Bottom line: this video is short and intense - but doable with repeated practice. The trick is to not give up and make some modifications to tailor your current level. Also ***extremely important*** review all the workouts first, study AND practice the moves first before you even start the workouts. Also make sure whatever reseller you purchase from has a clear return policy just in case you don't like it. I gave it 4 stars because the system is rather confusing to follow - especially calculating 30 seconds for this move or that move BUT, overall, you feel like you worked out an entire hour in 10 minutes. The second reason for the 4 stars was the very high price. In conclusion, this IS a *real* workout - not a gimmick even if its on a TV informercial!
Customer Review: Good for those short on time
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Well, I have had the 10 minute trainer for a couple of weeks, and it is not a bad system. I really wish that they would have put all of the workouts on one dvd instead of two. It makes it really annoying to have to stop my workout, change dvds, and then wait for the dvd to load to continue working out.
I have done pretty much all of the workouts except for the yoga one. The total body and the cardio ones are great. The abs one will leave you with a sore, but well worked out core. The lower body was a bit disappointing since it was a 'squats-r-us' type of workout. I would recommend for ladies that they purchase a lighter version of the band because the red band that comes with the kit is really difficult to work with.
For a Tony Horton workout, it was good compared to Power 90. However, like the workouts I have done with him, his co-stars end up doing 90% of the workout while he just stands there, talks, and makes bad jokes.
Customer Review: Great!

The 10 minute training program is great, but to get the best results you're going to really have to do 30 minutes--three workouts a day. Still not so bad.
Overall I think it's a great program for experienced exercisers who are looking to change things up, and for those new to working out.
Tony really packs a lot into the 10 minute segments, and he's really funny and entertaining. It's like having your own personal trainer.
However, the abs workout is not fabulous. It relies on you doing a lot of core work, which, unless your core is already strong, you'll be using your arms and your hip flexors mostly, which is not ideal.
The yoga flex portion is also a little weak. If you've already been doing yoga, you may find it much too easy.
I'm pretty fit, but I was a little sore for the first few days. The program is expensive, but I can see using this for a long time.
