10 Minute Solution - DVD

The 10 Minute Solution consists of 5 different 10-minute workouts: Boot Camp, Pilates, Kickboxing, Ballet, and Yoga. The premise is that each is a stand-alone workout for people who have no time to exercise. The Boot Camp Section gets your blood pumping by quickly running through some calisthenics and weight work using 3-8 lb dumbells. Michelle Nevidemsky starts with step touches, quickly transitioning to step knees with arm circles, a lunge series (front, side, back), and high jogs. Then you pick up your weights (very quickly) and do a set of lat rows and tricep extensions. Some triple steps side to side and then onto tricep dips (with a more challenging option of keeping your legs extended), squats and bicep curls (w/weights), pushups (2 sets), and crunches. She gets a lot into 9.5 minutes (the last 30-45 seconds are quick stretches), but only does 1 set of almost everything. The Pilates Section starts with belly breathing, and then goes onto crunches, bicycles, sit ups, bridges, and twists. Those familiar with the Method will recognize the moves. The Ballet Section is great. Michelle Nevidemsky uses a chair as a barre. She does demi-plies, full plies, tendus (front, side, back quick leg extensions), leg semicircles, leg swings, and finishes with seated stretches. The Kickboxing Section is next. She starts slow with upperbody work (punches, jabs, hooks, uppercuts), then adds the lower body work (power scissors, front and roundhouse kicks). It definitely gets your heart pumping! The Yoga Section is last and the poses selected are geared towards strength building. She starts seated crosslegged: twists and bends to the front and side, angry cat, downward dog. Then onto the lunge poses (warrior and triangle). She finishes with cobra and childs pose and ends seated cross-legged.
