Feel the burn,
This review is from: Marisa Tomei: Core & Curves (DVD)
I bought this DVD last week and the first time I did it I thought it was a breeze. That is, with the exception of having to stop partway through a set of 50 modified crunches. The day after I did this I felt it everywhere I was supposed to - the entire stomach and every angle of my thighs. I've added it to my repertoire of great workout videos.There are three options on this video: Body Definiton, Best Legs Workout, Ten Moves in Ten. I did all three, having to skip the little warm-up/stretch intros and outros when necessary. Body Definiton is 20 minutes of varied exercises using the resistance band in about half of them. This portion of the video is definitely heavy on abdominal work. Kudos to anyone who has no trouble with it. Best Legs Workout is a lot of variations of standing on one leg and reaching for the floor (surprisingly challenging) and using the resistance band to do standing leg raises in each direction. In between sets you shuffle side to side to keep your heart rate up. It's short, simple, and effective. Ten moves in Ten is a nice mini workout for when you have zero time. It manages to engage most of the major muscles, though the amount of time is hardly sufficient to produce real results. Overall I found this video introduced me to enough new and effective exercises to make it worth my time and money. I will be using it for a while. Each section starts with the same warm-up stretch. I suppose that would have to be my only major complaint. Aren't you supposed to warm up before you stretch? Marisa Tomei is clearly in terrific shape. After the first workout she tells you that she does that whole circuit three times in a row. Maybe someday! For now I'll stick with working my way through the whole video. That's challenging enough. I recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars
surprisingly fun and effective,
By Emily - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marisa Tomei: Core & Curves (DVD)
When I first saw that Marisa Tomei was coming out with a workout DVD I laughed, or maybe "snorted with derision" would be more accurate . . . I love Marisa Tomei as an actress, but I just felt like the world didn't need another "celebrity" workout.But, I was wrong. This workout is actually really fun, well produced, seems to be very effective, and has that all too rare "it" factor that makes me want to keep coming back to it over and over again . . . no "dread factor" here. The instructor offers great cuing, and Ms. Tomei is personable and demonstrates good form. As to the workout itself, it's not exactly traditional toning, but it's not Pilates either . . . it is very core-focused, and does work on lots of little accessory muscles that aren't normally targeted in more traditional toning workouts. There are no deep lunges or squats, but there are quite a few plank-based moves as well as traditional push-ups. Interspersed throughout all three workouts are little "speed and agility" bursts of skipping, hopping and side-stepping, so there is a (albeit minimal) cardio factor as well. The DVD includes a resistance band that you use looped around your ankles in quite a few of the moves - this definitely increases the burn, and is not "gimicky" at all. There are three individual workouts. The first is about 25 minutes long, and targets the entire body, with a very long and intense ab section. The second workout, which is about 20 minutes long, is all about the legs, although it does work the core as well. The final workout, about 15 minutes long, is a mini total body workout, with some exercises borrowed from the first two workouts, but some other unique exercises as well. There is a brief warm-up and cool-down/stretch included when you play each individual workout. The "custom workout" option is a nice tool that allows you to play the individual workouts back-to-back, in whichever order you choose. In that mode, the warm-up in only played once, at the beginning, and the cool-down/stretch is only played once, at the end of the workout. All in all, I must say I was surprised by how fun and effective this workout is. I am an intermediate level exerciser, and I found most of this workout very doable, but still challenging. 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful

Killer workout with a zen vibe,
By Lisa "southernbelle54" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marisa Tomei: Core & Curves (DVD)
I ran across this item at Target and didn't expect it to be that great--truth be told, the major selling point compared to similar DVDs was that it included the toning band. But I fell in love with this workout!The video is very well shot, and Marisa and her trainer are so low key and relaxed. Their instructions are kept to a minimum and the unobtrusive music helps you keep your focus--something you'll definitely need during the many moves that require you to balance on one leg. I sprained my knee a few months ago and ever since, my vastus medialis (the muscle behind the kneecap) has been achy and prone to catching. Leg lifts at the gym were Well, many of the exercises strengthen the quads and the muscle directly above the kneecap, and even though my VM is still sore the stiffness has been greatly alleviated. The cardio bursts are short (30-60 sec) but they keep your heart rate up enough to make everything else just a little bit more challenging. I did all three workouts in a row and was sweating, but not exhausted. Several of the moves combine stretching with toning, so even though I woke up sore the next day, I didn't feel stiff. I started out with Jillian Michaels Burn Fat Boost Metabolism & 30 Day Shred, but at my current level of fitness her programs are so intense that I can only do them once a week. This a great alternative, and I look forward to trying Marisa's HoopBand workout that's slated to come out in August! 27 of 29 people found the following review helpful

Better than Average,
By Italian girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marisa Tomei: Core & Curves (DVD)
I liked the video. Good explanation of moves, maybe not as detailed as a newbie would want. Also, she did like 1000 crunches--this was almost impossible for me to keep up with. I am not a beginner but I am also not that far advanced yet. NO lower level moves were explained. I did the video last night and I am sore today.. so it just may work on toning. If is see improvement within a few weeks, I will come back and upgrade my rating..Update.. I am back to increase my rating to 4 stars. I have been doing the dvd about 3 times a week and feel some improvement. I also really like the fact that you have a few choices for workouts. There is the full workout, the 10 minute version and a shapeup for legs that is my favorite now. .. I am not a man obsessed with Marisa so take my review for what it is worth..also, it is definitely a currently made dvd with Marisa as she looks now. |
