Skip it!! December 27, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This video is HORRIBLE!! First of all, you cannot go straight to the workouts without listening to them babble, and they continue to babble going from move to move without really explaining what they are doing. I am so disappointed. Not worth the aggravation. I would rather find some other way to burn off calories!!!
Pretend work-out with your "pretend girlfriends" December 27, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Catchy title but the whole concept got old within 3 minutes. The workout isn't strenuous or creative, but insipidly tedious and self promoting. I followed the more intense routine and didn't break a sweat. It was almost as if the girls sat down and said "OK girlfriend, how else can we make money off this franchise of skinny bitchdom??" Neither are particularly instructive nor appear to have any qualifications to teach an exercise class. The cue card reading is blatant. The camera work and or editing missed the goal of an "instructional" DVD. I think they were trying to achieve a girlfriend workout experience, but I felt very much like the only sober woman in a nightclub bathroom. (You know that embarassed, "I hope I NEVER sound like that" feeling??)Don't waste your time or money.
Fun and fat burning December 26, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was a fun and fat burning video. They encourage you the entire time, make you feel good about yourself by the time it's done. Along with the fact that you can tell they are real women. They mess up and keep on going. They make the workout fun. But by the time your done you feel the burn. They say things like " I'm so happy to be stretching and not doing squats. They were killing me." They make little jokes through out the workout. They have a section that if you only have 5 mins to work out then do it. I highly enjoyed this boot camp. It made me feel good about myself. I recommend this product to other women no matter what shape or size, get up and get butt kicking awesome! They don't care if you never get super skinny, just healthy!
Skinny on Quality December 30, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I know very little about the two authors of the Skinny Bitch series other than the fact that their two very lucky women. Their tawdry and campy SB books and videos have remained on best sellers lists despite their "slim" credentials as health and fitness experts.
The video narrative is poor-for some reason I don't get motivated being called a bitch or being told to put down my twinkies. There are even offensive comments directed at smokers. But the actual choreography is painful to watch as the girls get lost themselves and seem at times disinterested--SB Boot Camp is merely bits and pieces of other successful exercise dvd's lumped together in a hodgepodge.
I own more than a hundred fitness dvd's and this is one of the most poorly executed in terms of direction and instruction. I bought this dvd hoping for a clever and challenging work-out directed at women with flair and fun in mind but in turn got duped by the trendy title and marketing machine of the SB series.
The SB women should never let go of the agents and publicists---ever.
A fun interval workout January 5, 2009 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have done this workout three times now. It is a beginner level and would probably not be intense enough for intermediate or advanced exercisers, but I worked full out and felt great but not exhausted. I love the graceful, full body movements -- non-dancey, yet fluid. This workout has no "dread factor" for me -- it covers all the bases of an interval workout, but the girls don't lecture are enjoying themselves, and that made *me* enjoy myself. The lack of instruction isn't a problem if you are familiar with the moves from other exercise DVDs. Instead, I enjoyed the relaxed, good-natured banter. The time just flew by.
