 - Outstanding!So far, I've lost 15 of the 20 pounds my Doctor wanted me to lose. This DVD is one of the best! Easy to do and enjoyable, -- it works. My advice is to buy it right now. Dave Rating: - Very InformativeIt gives great insight on how to go about the process of the South Baech Diet. Rating:  - Good substituteI think it is a good dvd. I will probably only use it when it is just too hot to get out or raining. I think I would rather do the interval walking outside. Also, the book wants you to work up to 3 sets of 8 with the ab and resistance workout, which the dvd does not do. It is a good dvd and does all of the exercises in the book. I feel that you can't go wrong by purchasing it. It is good to have for everyday or to use as an alternate to your regular plan. Rating: - Put Me into Better Shape Than When I Was 22 in 6 WeeksI have never enjoyed exercise, but I can tolerate it for about 15 minutes. When I read the new book, The South Beach Diet Supercharged, I was intrigued by the claim that I could lose weight faster by the right kind of interval exercise. Why not? I was concerned that many of the exercises in the book seemed designed for human pretzels rather than those with back problems (like me). I decided to get the DVD and see if I could do the exercises. Realize that the workout is only half of the South Beach Exercise plan. You alternate the workouts with walking days. Those walking programs are described in The South Beach Beach Diet Supercharged book. There's good news and bad news. The good news is that I was able to do the exercises just fine without injuring myself or getting bored. I've now finished 11 weeks, and I'm in maintenance mode on the exercise. I gained a lot of fitness very quickly. I'm in better shape today than at any time since I was 21. It was very impressive to me. My appearance gets lots of compliments. I look about 12 pounds lighter than I am. That's the good news. The bad news is that the workouts made me much hungrier than I usually am. My weight loss has really slowed down. I've only dropped five pounds in 11 weeks. I suspect that part of the reason is that I've converted a lot of fat into muscle. But if your reasons to go on a diet are to be healthier and to look better, this program works great. But don't expect to look like a young Twiggy when you are done. If you are a woman, you'll probably find this program tougher than I did. My wife was moaning over the arm exercises which I found to be quite easy. She also found the walking harder than I did. If you are a man, you'll be amused by the DVD's references to making your shoulders look pretty for a dress and directions to "Get going, ladies." But whatever works is good. I plan to stick with this exercise program and the diet. Rating: - The South Beach Diet WorkoutI am loving the workout -- it is a total workout but as strenuous as you want it to be. The 15 minutes increments are great too.
