Circuit Burnout 30 Day Fat Shred - Monique St.Pierre

for 15 bucks its more then you can ask for! I bought this 2 years ago and it sat in my closet. finally I dragged it out, and decided to use it. I have p90x, turbo sculpt, turbo burn and a million Jillian michales, some other random DVD's throw in in there as well. This I feel like the results are similar to turbo sculpt just in half the time. at first I was both way behind physical (could not do a proper burpie to save my life) and some of the moves were just too easy, that is until I added heaver weights. Now, it's day20 and I can almost keep up on burpies, I sweat more now then the first week. I think because I am trying more, so there is less standing around. I had a baby 7 months ago and have no excuse anymore for the extra.. Lbs, lets be honest most had nothing to do with the baby. The 20 min workouts are so perfect if you are getting back into working out, if you have no time, if you feel little motivation at the end of the day. These have made my life easier! and What better review could I give then that? Yeah, I look/feel better, 10 lbs gone so far.The sound quality is not awesome, but the music is not annoying and neither is she. Even if you only go through this once it's still cheaper then a gym membership. One month 15 bucks, no gas, no babysitters. Awesome I say.

I absolutely love these workouts! Especially for the price...you really can't beat it! Monique is super encouraging, the 5-4-3-2-1 curcuits are perfect for giving a good workout that goes by fast, and the moves are dynamic and work much of the body at once for a better burn. It has the perfect mix of constant work and short rests to give you a good sweaty workout in a short amount of time. And the super sets! I am always motivated to do them even when I'm tired and sore. I always feel so much better mentally and physically after these workouts! Can't say enough about this. They do move fast through the moves, but as long as you focus on form and do whats at your level, you will get results and get stronger over time to the point where you can keep up with the more challenging modification as the weeks go by. Highly recommend!

I am on day 21 of this program after not doing any type of exercise for over 6 months. I would highly recommend this program if you have already done some type of workout program in the past. I did Stephanie Oram's XTF Max 90-day program last spring (which I would also highly recommend) and I think that really helped me with modifiers for some of the moves. This program can be for a beginner if you know some basic modifiers. Each workout has three different intensity levels, but sometimes even the lowest level is too hard when you are just beginning, so knowing a step-down modifier helps to keep you working out while not overdoing it. There are also super sets after each work out to give you a little extra fat burn. I have not done any of the super sets because the 20 minutes alone have been enough for me right now. I am planning on doing this for another 30 days and incorporating the super sets at that time. Each workout is a pyramid type set up where you work out for five minutes and get a one-minute break, workout for four minutes and get a one-minute break and so on until you are done. There is a warm up and cool down period also, so each tape is around 23 to 25 minutes.After completing each workout, I really feel like I have had a complete work out and have some sore muscles throughout the day to remind me of my workout. If you follow the 30-day calendar that is provided, you will notice that you are working different muscles each day which I think really helps in recovery and actual fat shredding since your body has no idea what is next.Monique has a wonderful personality and I really enjoy her as a trainer. She is motivational without being obnoxious. She does love burpees though, so prepare for that almost daily :)I took one star off because there are several times where you are not sure what exercise you are getting ready to do and you have to watch once through before you can start and also because the lower level intensity modifier is still pretty intense for some of the exercises. I purchased this program for less than $15 which I think was a steal since I feel that this program is easily worth more given my results after only 21 days. I feel much stronger already and I modified and still modify a lot of the moves each day. I have a bad knee as a result of an auto accident and these workouts (and leukotape on my knee) have helped me build muscle while not re-injuring myself.

I'm not one to review products often, but felt I had to write about this one. I am overweight and I've been trying to get in shape and traditionally have done both intense personal training classes and exercise DVDs like Kelly Coffey-Meyer. However, I wanted to challenge myself and given the price thought this would me a nice step up. Unfortunately this is NOT a beginners or even intermediate program. In additions, the modified program was just as difficult. Or maybe I'm just not ready for this program...

In one word...HORRIBLE!!! Really, if you want to put together a "professional" product, at least find people from the local gym to be in it. When I received it, I thought wow this looks great, and then I opened it. Ummmmm NO! I am just getting back into working out after a 6 year hiatus, I need to see what I considered good form and a trainer that can motivate me into continuing the workout. I saw neither. If this is suppose to be the real thing, go back to the drawing board and make it professional. I didn't return it, instead I gave it away, chances are that person will give it away after viewing it. This DVD MAY work for someone who've NEVER owned what most consider a professionally put together product, but I have, SO this one doesn't cut it for me. I went and purchased my go to workout DVD's, which have helped me lose my pregnancy weight, TWICE in less than a year. Good luck to anyone on a weight loss journey and the ones who purchase this!! :)

La verdad no pensé que fuera tan extremo lo súper recomiendo si tienes condición

I love this so far. It has a good amount of difficulty and you can always increase or decrease intensity. I love that Monique does most of the exercises with you and she is actually working up a sweat. The only reason I gave this a 4 is because the quality of the video seems a little budget. Maybe some of the newer stuff by XTrain is better. I will definitely get more from.

Great great intense workouts!! Ok so bought this DVD after working out with Shaun T25 for about 8 months; and I tell you this is HARD WORK!! The great thing about this circuits is that Monique gives you a preview of the workouts before doing them so you can easily follow her afterwards. Also I do not have a resistance ball, but I was still able to work out hard without it (I am just used to all kinds of circuits so I can make do with my body to do the exercises). I do not understand why some of the lower review is about the actor's voice...Monique's voice is NOT annoying and her workouts are THOROUGH WITH RESULTS! You sweat BUCKETS! Thank goodness for the 1 minute breaks in between exercises. Phew! Great work out and will definitely recommend because I have results and my abs are more defined and the annoying bulge I had round my belly have just melted away than when I was working out with T25! The breakdown of workouts to do each day also helps and before you can say 'Jack Robinson' 20 minutes is over! I ALWAYS add the 5 minutes super sets at the end of each work out! If like me you are a sucker for punishment and feel you wanna do more after 20 minutes is up, then you can repeat the work outs again...so in all I do about 50 mins a day...that's how GREAT these work outs are!

Day 3, hard work but loving it, 30 mins of intense training and feeling the benefits already. Question about the included recipe booklet though,I wanted to ask about the recipe book that comes with this product, are the quantities in the recipes just for 1 person? I was looking at the smoked salmon bagel for lunch and it said to use two bagels, I thought this was too much for one person? Should you be eating this much wheat even though you are working out? Please advise as I am using the recipes as well as using the DVDs and I want to make sure I am doing it correctly.RegardsL Wilson

Love this dvd - she is totally crazy but in in a fun motivating way. She works you very hard but in an effective way. I've did Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper dvds but I have to say this has the edge. The multi dvds are great because you don't get bored and they even mix in each week on the planner so as your body doesn't get used to a routine which makes sure your muscles work to max every time. If it's a new body you want or just a fun cardio workout this is perfect
