In contrast to Kelly´s other DVDs, this one is a live recording with an audience, who work together with Kelly. The workout lasts 60 minutes. These 60 minutes are divided into two 30 minutes workouts, according to her well-known motto.

They are cardio workouts with boxing and aerobic elements which are interrupted by short drills, which means aerobic boxing combos, drills, aerobic boxing combos, drills etc. Both workouts consist of 8 combos and 5 drills. The first workout seems to be longer and is more intensive than the second one. The main reason is, that the second one has only 2 drills but a longer cool down. Therefore the real workout time in the second one is only 25 minutes. If you want to try to push yourself to  your limits you have to choose one of Kelly´s premixes, in which both workouts are put together. '

You get 5 premixes:

1. Both Workouts
2. Both Workouts without Drills
3. Workout I without Drills
4. Workout II without Drills
5. All Drills

The choreography of the combos is easy to follow. The drills consist of e.g. plank with pulling in the knee, wide jumps, quick double leg butt kicks ,  jumping into the plank with jumping jacks etc. One of her companions always shows modifications.

The music is thrilling (ín my opinion). To me the whole atmosphere is great. You realize at once how much fun it is for Kelly and the for the audience. Kelly presents a great workout. Both workouts are really varied because of the awesome choreography.

It is a great DVD. Suited for the intermediate and for the advanced. The advanced can increase the intensity of the drills or sometimes there are days in which you don´t want to exhaust yourself too much.

Despite my doubts about this Fitness DVD from Kim Kardashian I have to admit that this is well done. The reason maybe is that Kim K. mainly acts as a performer and the workouts themselves are led by a professional fitness instructor (Jennifer Galardi). She gives during the whole workouts helpful instructions how to perform the different exercises correctly.

Workout I is carried out without the step bench but partly with lighter dumbbells. The exercises mainly consist of squats, lunges, sidelifts etc. In some exercises dumbbells are used, so the upper body is also slightly  trained.

In Workout II the step bench is used. It starts with a 2-minute moderate cardio section. Then mainly the calves, butt, the back of the thight etc. are trained. Furthermore this workout contains the stretch. 

The bonus workout takes place on a mat. In this routine not only the butt is trained but also the abs. Simple abs exercises are carried out.

The exercises are varied, effective and quite demanding if you are beginner, advanced beginner or returner. All other people might feel unchallenged. (it can be easily recognized in the German trailer)

But beware, you won´t get a super figure within a week, as the dvd title promise. To reach this goal it requires much more training.

A good DVD for beginners.    4 points

This is already my second DVD of Patrick Goudeau. I haven´t described the first one "Body Design," because you hardly can buy it anywhere. That is a pity.  He works together with two co-instructor. Unfortunately, none of them shows modifications. You can do the whole workout or, as above mentioned, customize it. The workouts are in the same way; that means they consist of strength exercises and cardio intervals. All exercises are completely done once and then repeated.

You train several muscle groups simultaneously.

Workout I    Squat with shoulder press, rows on one leg, plank with pulling in the knees. The cardio segment in and out the feet very quickly.
Workout II   Lunges backward with a stiff leg, push-ups with alternating rows, mountain climber, etc.
Workout III  Reverse Lunge with bow and arrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUlJZQ9SNro, bicep curls with shoulder press and triceps extension, etc.
Workout IV Triceps extensions, lunge backward with wood choppers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA3S8CrSOTw, etc.
                   The exercises of the fourth workout are executed with one dumbbell
Abdominals: Crunches on the mat in sitting position with weights,  flies in combination moving both legs alternately to the right and left, etc.

It is a varied DVD because the combination of the exercises has turned out well. The focus is more on weight training because the cardio intervals are very short. Patrick Goudeau is very friendly and gives good instructions so that you can follow without problems. Apart from strength and endurance, the balance is also trained.

It is a good DVD, suitable for the intermediate.

People who have fun to work not only with weights can get a good alternative with this DVD. In this workout, only a tube and a miniband/loop are used. It is a pure strength workout, no cardio intervals.

It starts with the tube. It is partly a combination of upper- and lower body exercises (lunges with shoulder press, side-lunges with bicep-curls e.g.). At first, all is performed with the right leg then the whole is repeated with the other leg. In this part, the balance is trained too.

Then the miniband is used (walking from side to side, leg extensions, knee-lifts....). Afterwards, Paul combines both, miniband and tube. Upper- and lower body is trained at the same time (hamstring curls with bicep curls, front raise with leg extensions...). All is executed with the right leg then with the other.

Before going on the mat some standing core exercises are done (golf swing, oblique crunch....)

The seated back exercises consist of different kind of rows.

For the core work, Paul uses the tube as well as the miniband (crunches with leg abduction, side-crunches with pulling up the legs, side plank...)

The complete workout is performed without haste so that you have enough time to change the equipment.All important muscles are trained, not too much bus sufficient, except the biceps. Many repetitions take place. Bicep curls with the hand grips in the right and left hand, then both hand grips in one hand. That let the muscle burn, but positively.

A co-trainer shows the easier modifications. Paul himself is a pleasant and encouraging instructor. He gives good cues and the workout is well-structured with variety.

Unfortunately, the warm-up and the stretch are a little bit too short, with only 2 minutes each.

Not only intermediate people can work with this DVD but also advanced people because they can use tubes and miniband in different strength.

Good DVD.
