 Unique approach - Effective intermediate full body workout February 24, 2010

This is a very soothing and very effective workout. Erin definitley has a different approach and it may not be for everyone. When I am doing this workout I kind of feel like I am working out with my mom. She is very soothing and motherly. Some may find her style annoying. She is not the whiney 1,2 3 aerobics girl of yesterday but she does have this mother earth tone to her. I like her instruction and the setting of being in a home is very relaxing and different. I really liked the change of not looking at a studio. Her style also made me feel as if I was being personally trained. I also liked that you have a variety of moves you can do to make the workout more difficult. I think any level exerciser can enjoy this workout. I do think it is more an intermediate than an advanced dvd. I use it on days when I want a lighter but effective over all body workout. Or when I want to weight and strength train after an hour of cardio. If I want a tougher weight strength training then I use Jari Love's Get Ripped and Chisled. All in all, I really like this DVD and think it is an excellent addition to my collection and would reccomend it to any exerciser at any age.

I never heard of Erin O'Brien but I have been doing Jillian's 30 day shred and am getting tired of her "banter" over and over. I thought I'd give this video a whirl and I'm glad I did! I just woke up and every muscle in my body is sore today....but in a good way.
First, I wanted to respond to what other reviewers have said:
1." Erin is quirky." I don't think she's quirky at all. I think she encourages you to work harder without trying to be cutesy or showing off how much more in shape she is than we are(even though, she is in amazing shape).
2. The photography is strange: with fading out to nearly colorless at times and cutting in with what looks like cheap home video footage, but I think it adds a little visual interest instead of a flat-on static view.
3. The music is boring. Yep. It's the non-descript exercise beats, but I think we want the focus to be on Erin.
Those are the weaknesses which I would say are minor. The true strength, and what we want an exercise video for to begin with is, that she is an excellent teacher: reminding me of my posture, to pull in my abs, to be sure I'm not going to hurt my knees, etc. She is encouraging in a very comfortable way. She's not scolding me about how I should be able to do something. Instead she talks about the benefits of strength training without being preachy, boring or condescending. What I like about this video, more than Jillian's video, is that it really works all my muscles and it feels great-instead of feeling like that "take your medicine-you know this is good for you"-dread! I think some people won't even give this video a look because of the reference to staying young in the title. This work-out is a great one for any age! As someone else mentioned, she doesn't advise on what level of weight you should be using. I started with 3 lb wts but realized for most of the exercises, 5lbs was doable. My t-shirt was absolutely soaked after this workout: my measure of time well-spent. I highly recommend this video. I can see this being one of my favorites.

Excellent strength training DVD February 10, 2010
CTF
I'd give this DVD 10 stars if I could. It's perfect if you're looking for a moderate level strength training workout that's 40 minutes start to finish -- and that includes a 3-minute warm-up and cool-down. I'm in my fifties and in good cardiovascular shape -- I run, bike, or elliptical 5 days a week. But I wanted to incorporate strength training into my usual routine so I can stay strong, injury-free and maybe even lose a few inches in the process. This DVD gives me just that. I checked out a few others from my library, but they were either too rigorous and/or the instructors looked like they competed in body-building competitions. Erin O'Brien looks in shape (but not fanatically so) and is enthusiastic without being nauseatingly perky or hard-core. She also doesn't talk too much -- which is great because that can get old fast when you're watching the DVD for the 50th time. Another plus -- she includes a small video of herself at the top of the screen for a harder variation of the work-out. All in all, I love this strength training workout (I've already seen results) and hope Erin decides to make more DVDs.

I saw this CD on TV one morning. I liked Erin O'Brien and how she does her workout. Then when I bought the CD it would not play in my machine. I tried everything I could and then some...So now I have sent it back for a credit. We shall see what happens next.
