TotalMix - The Complete Total Body Workout System

Quick Fix's Total Mix is designed to deliver a maximum workout in minimum time. This 90-minute DVD format allows participants to design their own workouts with choices from nine separate segments. Each of these sets concentrates on specific body parts that can be done in any order. Workout combinations can span anywhere from 10 minutes to 90 minutes and will target the major muscles of the upper and lower body. "Ab Flex," "Leg Blaster," "Arm Toner," and "Buns Firmer" are just a few of the segments offered here and some of these sets require the use of dumbbells (three to eight pounds) and a chair. The instruction is solid and some safety pointers are illustrated for the benefit of beginners. While time-savvy exercise programs are attractive to most, participants should remember that beneficial results occur with regular and repetitious use. With a weekly commitment of at least three sessions, there is potential to gain strength and muscle tone while creating new combinations to suit your individual needs. This variety will keep the major muscles challenged while holding the attention of the most easily bored exercisers. --Olivia Voigts

Minna - Emergency Workout

"Lose weight and tone your body in just six weeks!" claims the back cover of Emergency Workout. Don't expect to look like gorgeous Minna Lessig, former Ms. Fitness USA and National Fitness champion, in that time, but do expect to have fun getting into shape with these two well-designed, high-energy, 30-minute workouts.

Remember the pre-hip-hop era of aerobic dance when we were doing cha cha, salsa, mambo, grapevines, and hip-swinging, feel-good combinations that kept our heart rates and moods up without taxing our minds terribly much? That's what Lessig gives us in the aerobic segment. The dance moves are just challenging enough to be fun and give us a sense of accomplishment, without being a major learning endeavor. Lessig teaches the routines smoothly and expertly, a move at a time. Her two female assistants, their faces animated, seem to be having a great time, too.

The second workout is a non-stop weight segment using dumbbells. Lessig's routine is an interesting mix of combination moves, such as biceps curls with lunges, or leg extensions with lateral raises, sometimes involving balance. The only problem is that you have no time to change weights between muscle groups, so you have to go light. Each workout has its own warm-up and cooldown, so you can alternate them on different days, or blitz yourself by doing the whole hour. A sample 1,100- to 1,200-calorie diet menu is included. --Joan Price

Minna Optimizer - Balanced Blend

Through a combination of traditional strength training and progressive flexibility-enhancing choreography, Minna: Optimizer, Balanced Blend delivers a comprehensive fitness regimen with variety. This DVD format is divided into two workouts (approximately 45 minutes each) that concentrate on building and elongating lean muscle by using aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The first session, Fat Eliminator, centers around six four-minute circuits that join together cardiovascular and strength work. Plyometric jumps and kicks are spliced between squats, reverse lunges, and pushups to create a cross-training effect. Little instruction is provided on proper knee to ankle alignment on lunges and squats, so be sure to watch your form. A 15-minute bonus training set that works the upper and lower body with light hand weights closes this session. The second workout, Strength and Grace, offers a great counterbalance to the circuits performed in the first workout. Fundamental movements from Pilates, yoga, and modern dance are united here with classic plies, calf raises, and squats. Overall, the legs and upper body are challenged while breathing, balance, and muscle pliability are brought into focus. Optimizer is approachable for all levels, and the length of the workout can be adjusted. The music is good, with great tribal beats and choreography sure to get the heart rate going. --Olivia Voigts
