ANYONE can fit this into their schedule!!

There are 3 different ab workouts, 3 butt workouts, and the last 3 are leg/arm workouts. You can program a well-rounded, varied strength workout or do intensive spot-training. I only gave four stars because I realy wish they had a 10 minute cardio segment to fit some real fat-burning in! I use these most if I don't feel like working out on the weekend - after 10 minutes of moving my body's usually ready for my jog or whatever. Also if I get back from the gym and feel I could have worked out a little more, I'll do a segment or two. Even if you just do one segment a day (anyone can find 10 minutes. ANYONE!)you'll see improvement soon. For some reason, I really like Minna. She's a terrific instructor, very down to earth and motivating. The other 2 are strangely not annoying, either. Any exercise will work as long as you stick with it! Commit to improving yourself, and use this DVD to help get you there!

Great concept, great variety, fun to do

I rarely find exercise fun. I usually think of it as a tolerated necessity that I endure as long and often as I can. QuickFix is a life-saver for people like me.

The DVD is very well-chaptered, allowing you to choose among nine 10-minute workouts: three abs workouts, three buns workouts, one legs/arms, one legs, and one arms. The Customize function lets you pick one to three of these nine workouts in any order. It's quick and easy to add more after your first three have finished, if you want. I regularly schedule myself for three, and find I've done four or five before I realize it.

The workouts, themselves, are varied and interesting. The count-down timer is great, and the instructors (whom you'll recognize from other DVDs) are entertaining and give good instruction. I'd call myself an intermediate exerciser (long-time FIRM user), and I can't do all three of any one type of exercise -- that is, all three abs or all three buns. It's even challenging to do buns followed by legs, since they're similar exercises in each. I'd like more arm and chest work, although I suppose heavier weights could be used to make up the deficiency.

One drawback to these workouts is there isn't really any cool-down and virtually no stretching. They make the point that "flexibility is as important as strength", but that's pretty much it. It's easy enough to add some stretching afterwards, though, so it's not that big a deal.

Overall, I highly recommend this DVD for those who crave variety, as well as for anyone who likes the option of doing 10 minutes of exercise, or more as time allows.

Chellenging and efficient

The individual segments do well to work so many muscles in just 10 minutes. They do this by combining several muscle groups in to one movement, like bicep curls combined with lunges. But also by alternating movements to double the effectiveness, like squat/abduction/squat/abduction. It is very challenging, and in my opinion it is something to work up to, perhaps not for begninners. My only gripe is that the mix option allows a max of 3 sections in a row, where as I would prefer to work up to doing 4 or 5. So to do this, I will set 3, then go back and choose another 2 to finish.
