If time is tight (but your muscle tone isn't), Quick Fix Total Body Toning provides a workout that can shape up your physique in minimal time. Composed of three 10-minute sessions, this complete body challenge delivers both cardiovascular conditioning and weight-bearing exercises. Each of the three sets concentrates on specific training regimens, and some portions of this program require three- to five-pound hand weights. The first 10-minute set utilizes weights with a series of bicep curls and tricep kickbacks. The lower body is worked with plies, squats, lunges, and calf raises. The cuing is clear, but there is little information provided about body alignment and proper lunge form. First-time participants will want to give extra attention to their form while executing these movements. The second session focuses on cardio kickboxing. Most of the choreography is taught at half tempo here, and the extra time allows for beginners to perform kicks and punches in stellar form. The third set uses isometric and resistance movements to increase strength and muscle tone. Power squats and reverse lunges are sure to make the quadriceps burn while pushups train the pectoral muscles. Quick Fix provides a basic workout for the time-savvy exerciser, and participants of all fitness levels will find a quick, easy-to-follow program. --Olivia Voigts

 I love this workout! June 16, 2006
I love this workout! Fun and easy, but not too easy. I enjoy the trainers as well. Feel good about only doing ten minutes.

I just did this yesterday for the first time. I can feel it in my thighs the most . The tape is a series of three 10 Min. workouts designed to be done together or separately. I fail to see how 10 min. can be a truly complete workout but, all things considered, I think they did a pretty good job of making it count.
The first 10 min. is a workout w/ weights, which I enjoyed. It was a little challenging at times. The second set is sort of styled after kickboxing but the moves are slow and more precise. I think that this is good and more effective for targeting specific muscles. I know that other reviewers disagree. The third section seemed like a bunch of repetitive lunges and jumps. As another reviewer observed, this section is NOT for large breasted women. I wore a sports bra and I still found the jumps a little 'painful'.
Another thing I DIDNT like about this video was the instructors. Crunch instructors are my favorite. I like their down-to-earth styles. These girls seemed like they are TRYING to be down-to-earth and TRYING to be friends but I found their unnecessary banter ANNOYING.
Nonetheless, I will probably put this tape in my 'rotation' for when I want something "different" and will just continue to do the first 20 min. of it.
Not for those seeking an intense 30 minute workout August 25, 2004

I am adding this review for those who may want a 30 minute intermediate-advanced level workout that packs a punch for 30 entire minutes - this is NOT the workout for you. I think this workout is good for those who are beginners. I am very time crunched and when I grab a video - I want to sweat and feel my heart pumping for 30 minutes straight. I found this video wasted a lot of time. The first 10 minute segment with Minna was the best - basic squats, lunges, calf raises, lateral raises with dumbbells. I increased my repetitions and managed to sweat. I was disappointed with the next 10 minute segment which I thought would be some form of kickboxing. It wasn't - rather very slow stetching and some very basic but slow punches. Honestly, I found it repetitive and I didn't get any exercise benefit out of it. Then on to the last 10 minute portion which was some basic cardio moves (very straightforward and again at a modest cardio level). The intructor did a short plank pose, some modified push ups and a tiny bit of core work but no real abdominal work. Overall, I thought too much time was spent stretching or on slowpaced exercises. If you are new to exercise or at a beginner level, you might enjoy this video. But, for the money, I would recommend I Want That Body by Tamilee Webb or Crunch Fitness's BootCamp Training - two workouts that will give you a start to finish intense workout.
 Good workout for toning July 27, 2004

This is a very good, QUICK workout for toning. Mina's segment is very good, especially for the arms. The second one is alright, but I was looking forward to doing more moves than it uses...but what can you expect in 10 min? I like the last segment, but parts of it are TOUGH--especially the jumping jacks if you have a large chest! I can understand why some people complained about that segment! Only one big complaint...only one of the workouts in my opinion had sufficient stretching at the end--you might want to add your own.
Not Total March 3, 2004

This is indeed a great toning video and does get your heartrate pumping. However, It does not include any Ab-toning exercise. I purchased the video based on the title "Quick fix TOTAL boby toning" but I was disappointed to find out that there was no exercise that focused on the Abs alone. Now I have to go through the headache of ejecting this video when its over, inserting another video into the vcr to get my Ab exercise and staying motivated at thesame time. So, if you're looking for an Ab-inclusive workout video, this is not it. It is great for other body parts though
