"Lose weight and tone your body in just six weeks!" claims the back cover of Emergency Workout. Don't expect to look like gorgeous Minna Lessig, former Ms. Fitness USA and National Fitness champion, in that time, but do expect to have fun getting into shape with these two well-designed, high-energy, 30-minute workouts.
Remember the pre-hip-hop era of aerobic dance when we were doing cha cha, salsa, mambo, grapevines, and hip-swinging, feel-good combinations that kept our heart rates and moods up without taxing our minds terribly much? That's what Lessig gives us in the aerobic segment. The dance moves are just challenging enough to be fun and give us a sense of accomplishment, without being a major learning endeavor. Lessig teaches the routines smoothly and expertly, a move at a time. Her two female assistants, their faces animated, seem to be having a great time, too.
The second workout is a non-stop weight segment using dumbbells. Lessig's routine is an interesting mix of combination moves, such as biceps curls with lunges, or leg extensions with lateral raises, sometimes involving balance. The only problem is that you have no time to change weights between muscle groups, so you have to go light. Each workout has its own warm-up and cooldown, so you can alternate them on different days, or blitz yourself by doing the whole hour. A sample 1,100- to 1,200-calorie diet menu is included. --Joan Price

Buy this DVD for the toning workout. The cardio portion is okay, but you will need to do it on a bare floor, since there is a lot of pivoting and turning around with all the dancing, which is not difficult, but unsafe to do on carpet. Lessig is very good about cueing and reminding you of proper form.
The toning workout is one you can use for a while, starting with lower weights and increasing as you go. Plenty of variety in the exercises to keep you from getting bored, but long enough ... Read More

I will start by saying I LOVE Minna Lessig! She is a GREAT instructor - just enough "cheerleader" and motivating instruction without being annoying and flitty like Denise Austin. Plus, just looking at Minna makes you want to workout as hard as you can - she's a great example of strength being very feminine and attainable.
Okay, on to the workout....it is so much FUN! especially if you like to dance! I don't know about it being intense (or long) enough to get you looking like Minna ;), ... Read More

I bought the VHS tape of this one back in 2003 right at my 2nd pregnancy. I decided to try it after the baby. We'll I did and it's probably good for losing baby weight. However, if you are an avid workout individual, I would not suggest wasting your money. It took awhile getting used to the choregraphy (felt like I was in a video). The producers could have done better.

I bought this DVD when I was trying to lose my baby weight. It was a great way for me to ease back into exercise after having my baby and it's fun. I think it is great for all levels and I love Minna. She is not annoying, but she manages to keep you motivated. This is a must have.
