For beginners only
May 24 2004
This DVD contains three separate workouts, along with warm up and cool down periods. Two of the workouts are about 20 minutes in length, and the third is a three minute workout, consisting only of three separate movements. The workouts are slow paced and very light. You can combine the workouts to get longer and somewhat more demanding workout, but still the result would be a long beginner level workout.
They give instruction on how to perform each exercise, so you don't need any previous experience from aerobics workouts. They use variety of exercises that work the whole body. The exercises are easy to perform, but you need a light set of dumbbells and an exercise step to run through the workout.
The production is fairly standard. Everything works fine, without any bells and whistles.
This DVD was a big disappointment for me, because I was expecting a harder workout. I don't understand how they can claim that the second workout in the DVD is an intermediate/advanced level workout! For someone looking for a beginner level workout this is a good choice, though.
Not Enough Sweating and Huffing and Puffing
Mar 10 2004
I was expecting this dvd to be more challenging but it was a disappointment instead. Knowing that firefighters have to be strong and fit, I was hoping that this dvd would get me back into shape after recovering from a hand injury and a massive battle with the flu. I just got warmed up and barely broke a sweat doing the beginners and intermediate routines. I guess I'm in better shape than I thought after being out of my training routine for 2 months.
Middle-aged and getting fluffy
July 2 2003
I started getting interested in physical fitness after finding out I couldn't get rid of the 8-10 lbs of stubborn fat I gained over the last year or so. I'm nearly 58 and have low cholesterol (106) and high HDL (48), but that's no consolation any longer--that fat had to go, especially after visiting a fitness store. My slightly older wife, a preventive medicine physician, watched me exercise with Captain Michael Stefano and his three companions and was so enthused with the DVD that she joined in. This may not be a body builder's cup of tea, but as an ex-high school gymnast when I weighed 115 lbs and could then press twice my weight and lift 7 times my weight, I can appreciate Stefano's approach. I never was heavily-muscled and don't want to be. The DVD is encouraging and helpful. I like the pace of both levels. My wife relates to beautiful Terri Walsh and her gorgeous girlfriend--not that I'm looking at them while working out with Michael and his pal. Very nice workouts, good pace, and good for everyone except the muscle-bound. I like the video better than any I've seen on TV. I just bought the book for further exercise help. I feel tighter and more solid than I have for a long time. I've had two operations on my right knee. The exercises never hurt the knee.

I've been using Capt. Stefano's workout for a month now. When I began I was a bit doubtful, but even after just a month the results are amazing. Read more

Not bad

30 minute workout that works
