Description
An efficient total body workout for a stronger, leaner, more flexible body You know it. Regular strength-training is essential to keep you looking and feeling young. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest. Strong muscles protect your heart, your joints, your back, and your bones. Whether you're looking for a way to get started or looking for an efficient, effective way to kick your home workout up a notch, this program is for you. Hollywood trainer Erin O'Brien invites you into her home for a 45-minute routine that works your arms, legs, and core. She combines upper and lower body exercises to keep things moving and get your heart-rate revved. Use hand weights if you have them, soup cans if you don't. If you can't keep up at first, that's great! You have something to work toward—and a healthier, trimmer body to look forward to. Erin O'Brien has been working as a personal trainer and group exercise specialist for 15 years in elite fitness clubs both in New York City and Los Angeles. She holds several certifications, including one from the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America.

A great intermediate, total body workout ;-> January 1, 2008

I bought this on a whim actually. I didn't know of the instructor Erin O'Brien, but wanted a new workout. I ended up picking a great dvd here. It's toning done standing and done on the floor and it works out almost every muscle in your body.
Erin is a great instructor. She explains everything so well by telling you why you are doing what you're doing. She cues well and so you always know what's coming up. You can do the basic move that's demonstrated, or the tougher variations which is shown in a separate square in the corner of the screen. That's a great feature in itself so you can progress easily and move up when you're ready. All you need is some weights and you're ready to go. Even though she's not totally well known, I highly recommend this workout to everyone because almost anyone can follow it, and it will compliment any of your cardio workouts you might already own.
A great instructor! January 7, 2008

Erin O'Brien is definitely one of my favorite instructors--likeable but tough. She's down-to-earth like a good friend, and, like a good friend, she won't let you quit! This is a no-nonsense workout requiring only weights and wherewithal. Highly recommended.
Love this one! Fun, fast-paced way to build strength January 7, 2008

Speaking as someone who would rather workout on a treadmill for an hour than do five minutes of weight training, this DVD is a total life saver. I'm a cardio junky, but I know I need to build in weight training so I keep trying new workouts to see if anything will get me to do the work. Until discovering Erin's DVD, I couldn't find anything that I wanted to finish, let alone incorporate into my regular rotation.
Now I'm doing this workout at least twice a week to supplement my cardio routine. It's a motivating, fast-paced series of exercises that switch between upper and lower body sets. The transitions are easy to follow but quick so your heart rate stays elevated and you're done before you know it. The program ends with a nice floor work section that incorporates inner/outer thigh work and abs/pilates exercises. Erin is very easy to follow and motivational. The program also includes a helpful corner graphic that shows you advanced options for every exercise.
This is one I'll go to again and again.
GREAT WORKOUT! January 7, 2008

A SOLID great workout!! Erin is a wonderful teacher and an excellent motivator. She takes strength training and makes it exciting and challenging. This is a great program to grow with, you can start with light weights then gradually build up to heavier ones. This DVD will definitely be a permanent fixture in my weekly rotation.
Tough! In a good way. January 7, 2008

The thing I like best about this program is that it's so "do-able" but later -- oh, boy, do you feel the work you've done. I've got a lot of upper body strength, but my lower half is a little out of shape and flabby. If what my thighs are telling me is true, then this should do the trick!
I also love how she tells you exactly why you're doing what you're doing and what the long term benefits are. Sure, I can tell I'm going to get a better looking body, but it's also awesome to know that I'm helping to prevent osteoporosis, strengthening my connective tissue and raising my metabolism. At 37, that stuff is starting to matter to me as much as how I look!
