/ The Hollywood Trainer: Cardio Sculpt DVD

I have several Jeanette Jenkins DVDs.. from weight training to all cardio to super hi energy kick boxing.. Now that I have reached the ripe old age of 61 I decided to dial it back a bit and try one of her less cardio intense sculpting DVDs. This DVD is perfect for what I was looking for. Great mix of short cardio bursts to elevate heart rate and strength training for building & keeping muscle tone which is very important as you age and tend to lose muscle mass. I want to be able to get up out of chair by myself when I am old(er)! I highly recommend this workout if you are a beginner or a seasoned exercise fanatic. It has something for everyone.. Only equipment needed: free weights and floor mat (if needed).

This workout is very similar to her Cross Training and 21-Day Workout, with a few new moves thrown in. I like workouts that incorporate weights and this one does as well. I would say this workout is for Immediate/Advanced people. If you are a beginner, you should take it much slower and take water brakes.Although this video was created in 2003, it does not look dated or feel dated (except for the cheesy music).HINT: You may want to use a very soft cloth or t-shirt to wipe the DVD before inserting into DVD player. I did not do this and the DVD skipped and gave me the message "Skipping over damaged areas." I took it out, cleaned it, then put back in and it was fine. But, I have to do with ever use.

Jeanette Jenkins is a fun, motivating trainer. The workout is good, my shoulders hurt the next day. I just wish there were more high impact cardio moves to burn a lot more calories. This workout focuses more on sculpting the different body parts which is perfect is that is your main goal. I prefer HIIT strength training cardio that make me breathless and torch major calories. I'm 4'11 and weigh 104 lbs. My Fitbit recorded 171 calories burned during the 45 minute workout. I usually burn around 220 - 250 when doing 45 minute HIIT exercises.

Good strong workout. I enjoy the variety of moves and the ability to perform them without needing a large space in my co-op. There is something about the simplicity of the routine combined with the repetitions that not only encourages but gives you a good sweaty workout. Jeanette has a bubbly personality and keeps lively conversation throughout the session.

This is one of my favorite DVDS to do. The quality of the video to me is fine. I did read the other reviews and someone said there was sirens in the background and either I'm so in my zone I don't notice but I don't know what she was speaking off. Jeanette brings her usual personality and her high reps. The transitions are very fluid as well. But you definitely get a great workout. You can not beat the price.

No problems. It arrived on time. The DVD works well. It is an older execise DVD but is effective. I do agree the music is not very motivating but I just turn up my music. Jeannette Jenkins had some goofy moments but it does not take away from the exercises.

Love this work out. Love the way Jeanette combines both the cardio with the sculpt moves. She especially focus on the arms, which is a part of my body that I love to work out. Hoping to get those Michelle Obama arms. I also have her kick-boxing workout wich is just as great as this. Her workout partners in the DVD are just as fun, and helps to keep you motivated.

Good workout. Jeanette's commentary is a bit awkward in this version, she is a good trainer and it's a good workout.
