 You feel light and strongFeb 19, 2010
I loved this one.
The dance is great it is really sexy and fun all the segments are good the music is fun and appropriate. I feel slimmer when I do all the workouts together.
I usually do the arm segment and then the legs with the band and then go to the sexy slim down the fat blasting and then the belly dance.
In this whole workout you will work but it is not too heavy.
I like to dance in my cardio workouts so I think that to do this one you have to be at least a little dance oriented. I liked the belly dance part very much.
 Be prepared to stop and goJan 05, 2010
I bought this DVD because I love dance-based workouts. In a way it reminds me of the classes I took at the gym, god knows what I looked like doing the exercises, but I got a great workout and was distracted enough not to quit!
My two biggest complaints are 1. There is no warm up to speak of. I would have loved if this video had kind of a stretch and warm up segment in addition to the other higher intensity workouts. Every dance class I've taken has had some kind of warm up at the beginning just to get you in the mood and on the beat.
2. BREAK DOWN THE MOVES. Yes, the dances are fun, but I spent more time fiddling with my remote than I did working out the first couple of times I tried to do this video. Also, I don't know how she transitions so quickly from one move to another.
As long as you don't expect to be doing the workouts all the way through on your first go, her attitude and the fun pace of the video is worth the extra work it takes to be able to do it. I will probably buy another Jennifer Galardi DVD if I get tired of this one.
 FrustratingDec 08, 2009
This DVD is frustrating. The "Sexy Slim Down" segment claims to be "easy-to-learn", but I found myself rewinding multiple times, and still not getting the steps right. I finally gave up. :(
The "Dancer's Abs" segment was equally frustrating. I haven't tried the "High Engergy Fat Burner" because I'm scared.
The tone and sculpt segments are ok. The toning band is fairly straight forward. But in contrast to the other 2 segments I tried, I didn't feel like these two segments were that intense of a workout.

 Great mixture of dance and toningDec 04, 2009
"The Ten Minute Solution" is a great format because it really divides the five workouts into totally different styles which is imperative for not getting bored. I'm pretty good with dance choreography, but I could see a beginner having a really difficult time with this. I definitely recommend that you have some experience before trying this DVD.
The "Sexy Slim Down" is a little too slinky for my tastes, but not so sexy that I refuse to do it. It has a lot of fun moves, but I did feel that she didn't have to throw in a "take your clothes off" move. A fun and jazzy, cardio workout.
"High Energy Fat Burner" will really put you to the test as in it Jennifer throws really cardio movements at you pretty quickly. It's very old-school with ponies and surf moves thrown in. A lot of fun and the best workout on the DVD.
"Dancer's Abs" starts off really slow with some slow ab movements, but it gradually builds into a routine. It is NOT bellydancing. It is just movements that focus on the abs, although Jen does have one move she calls the "bellydance move." I use it as my warm-up as the first few minutes are really not cardio.
The "Upper Body Tone Up" uses moves that probably everyone except the true beginner are familiar with. Bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and more is what you can expect. Doesn't really leave a burn, but I still think that it works my arms and chest.
"Buns & Thigh Sculpt" really doesn't just focus on those two areas, but rather your whole lower body. It is pretty basic, and it doesn't make me sore the next day, although I am sure that I am working my legs.
All in all, it is a fabulous workout with Jennifer Galardi that just has a couple of flaws like the fact that there are basically no warm-ups/cool-downs in the cardio segments. I loved it, though, and it's up there in my favorite workouts!
Give this one some timeSep 02, 2009
My first recommendation is to give this collection of 10 minute workouts at least a week.
I am not the most coordinated person. I struggled the first two times I did this DVD...then it clicked. I don't think the cuing is poor on this dvd. It's choreographed so the more it's practiced, the easier it gets. Once the routines become more familiar each section is easy to follow and so much fun!! No, these are not dance steps you can use at a club. It's a fitness routine and not a dance instruction DVD. Jennifer states more than once not to worry about the choreography. To burn calories...just keep moving to the beat of the music.
The DVD is split into 5 ten minute segments. There is a special menu option that lets you program the combination of workouts each day. So if you love one section and want to do it 5 times in a row...this lets you do that! I've programmed up to 60 minutes using this menu. I'm not sure what the limit is.
There are baically three dance segments and two using toning bands. The first dance segment is a bit flirty and honestly the most cheesy of the three segments. I still enjoyed it.
The second segment has a 60's beach vibe to it. Lots of fun and faster paced.
The third focuses on the Abs. This is my favorite segment. I could see results on my abs within a week. Not dramatic but enough to know that it's working.
The first band workout focuses on upper body. The second on lower body.
I usually use this DVD after another cardio one so I'm already warmed up. The warm ups and cool downs are not generous so do something before the DVD to warm up and something after to stretch.
I do recommend this. It's a nice break from my usual routine and I like that I can do the ab dance routine every day regardless of what my workout routine is for that day.
