NO TIME TO EXERCISE? We have the solution for you the l0 Minute Solution! Everyone can find at least ten minutes in their day, and we ve developed 5 dynamic body band workouts that are just 10 minutes each. The workouts will tone and reshape your whole body. Compact and ultra-efficient, these workouts fit into even the busiest of schedules. Split them into 5 separate workouts or do them all together for one amazing, body-transforming workout! PILATES FOR BUNS & THIGHS: Get ready to strengthen your lower body and get toned, firm thighs and buns even as your belly continues to get bigger. STANDING PILATES: For this segment, instructor Lizbeth Garcia reworked traditional mat work into standing exercises that help improve strength, balance and coordination things needed throughout pregnancy, especially needed in the third trimester. CORE PILATES: This workout focuses on strengthening your core muscles to help you bounce back from delivery and may even help to reduce lower back pain during pregnancy. PILATES FOR FLEXIBILITY: Allow your body and mind to relax while you focus on releasing tight muscles through fluid exercises that will increase your flexibility and overall sense of well-being. TOTAL BODY PILATES: Designed to develop overall muscle strength and flexibility, this segment will help you firm and tone your body. It may also make delivery easier by teaching you how to breathe deeply and evenly while tightening the muscles of your pelvic floor. POSTNATAL BONUS WORKOUT: FLAT BELLY FAST - As a special bonus to use after your pregnancy, this core- focused segment created by instructor Suzanne Bowen zeros in on the deepest abdominal muscles with a singular goal: to flatten your belly fast. A set of 2- 3 pound dumbbells and 1-2 pillows are recommended for this workout.

transitions require more time to align band - Rating: 3/5
I own several 10 minute solution dvds, that I truly enjoy doing. The
tone trouble zones, was a bit disappointing as she moves from one position to the next too quickly and it was difficult to get the band and posture right. I had to replay each segment twice in order to get the correct alignment of the band and enough reps to feel the work.
Not a bad workout, just not as effective as the other dvds that I've tried from this collection. I recommend the pilates and kickboxing workouts from 10 minute solution.
A great workout! - Rating: 5/5
I have used my 10 Minute Solution: Tone Trouble Zones! DVD for about two weeks and absolutely LOVE it! I feel great after using the DVD and can already feel my body changing as a result of the workouts. I love the fact that with this DVD I can tailor my routine to fit the time I have and the areas I want to tone. I liked that I was able to follow the instructor easily and complete the moves confidently. As an instructor, Amy Bento is very personable. I found her comments and encouragement to be motivating. My positive experience with this DVD makes me eager to try other 10 Minute Solution titles.
Best toning workout - Rating: 5/5
I've recently perchased this dvd, and I love it. The exercises aren't that difficult but you can feel it works. I've found the resistant band works just as well as hand weights (depends how tightly you hold it). One low point is that the instructer seems to move very quickly from one exercise to another. Nevertheless its a good workout for total body toning.
Just OK - Not Challenging Enough - Rating: 3/5
I own all of Amy's workouts and I find her very inspiring. This workout provides some ideas on how to use a resistance band and would be a good one to take along when traveling, but that's where it ends for me. It is not challenging, the muscles don't feel worked and the segments are not long enough. The exercises themselves are ok, but it's definitely a beginner's workout, especially in comparison with her other videos.
good quick workout - Rating: 5/5
I love this workout DVD! It allows you to custom-tailor your 10 minute sections (pick one, two, three, etc., in whatever order you want) and comes with a latex band (necessary for the workouts). It really makes working out convenient. If you're used to workout videos, it's a nice video for a moderate exercise - more in shape folks might not find it that challenging. However, I found it quite good to use as something to do quickly in the morning before the shower, or before I go make dinner after work. A great addition to the workout DVD collection.
