Give Me 10: Core Cuts

In my opinion, hands down, Amy Dixon is one of the best instructors out there. No wonder she won fitness instructor of the year last year. She is enthusiastic about what she does and she knows what she is doing to help you get fit. I have worked in a gym and have taken many classes. Amy is still one of the best I have ever taken for shaping up or maintaining for women. There are some challenging exercises on here and I workout at home with DVDs 5-6 days. I do mostly Amy Dixon and Jessica Smith because I know I will get what I need in the 50-60 minutes of the whole DVD. She can get you in shape if you are willing to be consistent and eat half way healthy. I can never say enough about her workouts. I only wish I could take them in person!

Amy is probably one of the very best out there. This is a decent program, but I had a few criticisms. They are: some of the exercises can be dangerous to the lower back. Not enough was said about protecting this vulnerable area of the body. I did not feel there was appropriate warm up or cool down. I am 64 and have exercised my entire life. You'll find an aging body can do almost as much as a young one, but must be babied through proper stretching to avoid injury.

I love many of Amy Dixon's exercise videos but this one is not my favorite. Many of the exercises hurt my hips and my back. I am 54 and in very good shape, but, over the years I have found that stressing the joints too much causes more harm than good. I like her other Give Me 10 videos better.

I am an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor. I downloaded this DVD on my Kindle so I could do it every day. The workouts are very effective and enjoyable. Amy does everything from a regular core workout to a Pilates abs workout and even a Yoga workout. Being a YogaFit Level 3 Instructor, I really enjoyed the Yoga part. The moves are not your typical crunches and really ads some variety to your ab workouts. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone interesting in tightening their abs. Definitely deserves 5 stars.

Amy Dixon is an excellent trainer who offers great variety and new ideas in her fitness sessions. Everything is fresh & fun. She is great at explaining not only what you are going to do, but why. Amy Dixon vs. Jillian Michaels??? Amy Dixon, hands down! Her sessions are safe and comply with industry standards. You can trust you will get a fun, complete and safe workout with any of Amy's DVDs.

You can do this workout in 10 min increments if your a beginner or do the full hour if your advanced. She covers every core muscle group. The menu breaks each workout down so you can choose the ones you want to do. I used to do Amy's workouts on exercise tv and loved them so when I read a review on this one I had to have it and am not disappointed.

the problem I had with this video, is that as an instant video it doesn't give you a menu option so you have to select from the 6 different workouts, you have to just have to play it and fast forward to the workout that you want. the exercises transistion very quickly also which I was not a fan of. I suggest watching once to see the moves.

The workout actually inspires me! The thought that they're only ten minute segments definitely makes me more likely to do them, and it doesn't waste any time!The exercises are intense, you do feel that you're getting a good workout. Im dripping with sweat when I've finished.It's not dancy, not too complex to keep up, and I like Amy Dixon's personality.
