don't hesitate to buy this
Brilliant presenter. She makes you want to exercise harder and come back for more. No-fuss no-nonsense presentation. She is inspirational and I wish there were more DVDs from her. The workouts themselves are challenging with easy-version options.She encourages modifications to suite the viewers fitness levels whilst gently urging the viewer on to improve each session. I have been using the program for three weeks now and already have dropped 11lb/5 kg and that is without using the nutritional guide and simply eating healthy foods and reducing unhealthy ones. Highly recommended.

Love this for post pregnancy workout and for all abilities
Love this workout! It's 30 minutes without the cool down and warm up. Every exercise is shown with three variations ie low, medium and high intensity which I found really helpful as am working out post pregnancy (caesarean) so some muscles aren't as strong as others. I find the woman to be really motivational and engaging. I have done the whole set of DVDs and now I am on my second set. I would definitely recommend this, although there is exercise equipment involved all exercises are also shown with modifications including if you don't have equipment. I also think this workout is suitable for all abilities because of the variations and modifications applicable to every workout. The stretch dvd is also a really good addition for the days your muscles are feeling sore from all that hard work!

Loving this Program
I am currently a little over half way through my 90 day program. I will preface with saying I really enjoy work out dvd's. I own several though have sort of stuck to Jillian Micheals, Bob Harper, and those from the Biggest Looser. I wanted something that was a program that would mix it up and thought of a 90 day program. This one had some good review and the price was good, so I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did! I really love the different variations of the exercises and that its not the same work out every day but you jump around. Yes some of the same moves (like burpees, punches, mountain climbers) appear in a couple of the work outs, its still a nice variety. I like how she shows you different levels. You definitely need dumbbells for this, but has optional moves for an exercise ball and resistance band. She shows you work around if you don't have them. I started without the 2 additional items but recently got the balance ball. I am seeing a difference in the moves already and looking at getting a resistance band next. I think bringing them in at about the half way point is working out well. I really like Monique as well. She is nice with a positive energy that keeps you going. She does say the word baby a lot, but it doesn't bother me in the context like I think it does others. I like how she works out along side you for most of the time as well. I also love how she incorporates the 30 second water break between the circuits. Something not a lot of workout programs do, and something I think they should. Yes the production isn't like some big fancy Hollywood thing, but I think its fine; especially for a workout dvd. I am not watching the screen the entire time anyways. I also really like their are lots of options on how to watch it. Voice and music, voice only, cues only, etc. Finally I want to say I have seen results. Getting stronger and more toned muscles. I have lost over 20 pounds, though that is a combination of this, healthy eating, and some additional cardio. I do like a little more cardio in my workout so I tend to do her workout for about the 30-35 minutes, then do another 30 minutes on the treadmill. Don't get me wrong though, she has some nice cardio intervals and I do sweat plenty. I just became interested in building my running skills on top of this as well. Overall highly recommend this dvd for any level of fitness!
