10 Minute Solution Quick Tummy Toners DVD Review

Categories: Fitness


Can you really get flat abs in just 10 minutes? No, but that's not really what this DVD is about. This was the second 10 Minute Solution DVD I've had a chance to review, so I was familiar with the concept. The 10 Minute Solution DVDs don't promise results in 10 minutes, but they give you the option to do 10-minute sessions individually, or do all the portions at once for a full workout.

10 minute solution quick tummy tonersThe 10 Minute Solution: Quick Tummy Toners DVD has five sections: Crunch Free Abs, Yoga Abs, Bikini Belly, Ab & Waist Definer and Sexy, Sporty Abs. Each section was led by Jessica Smith, who I really liked as an instructor. She was encouraging, had a seriously enviable body, and cued the moves really well, offering options to keep them easy or make them a little more challenging. Also, she had a different outfit and hairstyle for each section, which I got a kick out of.

Level of Difficulty
There were some challenging moves, for sure, but not tons of them. I definitely think a beginner could handle a majority of the moves with no problem.

Next Day Soreness
I can't say that I was sore at all from this. My abs were a bit tired by the end, but not as much as I had expected after 50 minutes of ab work.

Who's It For?
Folks of any fitness level could probably learn some new moves, but if you already incorporate a lot of core work in your routine, you're not going to find this terribly challenging. I think it's probably best for people who aren't all that experienced with ab work and are looking for something other than crunches to work their cores.

Likes
I truly liked the instructor -- she didn't annoy me at all. And the different sections were varied enough to keep me interested. It went by quickly and was reasonably fun.

Dislikes
I just wish it had been a little tougher and had options for some extra-challenging moves. After 50 minutes, I should feel more than slightly tired, you know?

Bottom Line
I might include the 10-minute sections here and there in with a big workout, but I don't think I'll do the full 50 minutes again. However, I have some friends who don't work out as much (or as hard) as I do, and I think it really might benefit them.
