I’m really bad in strength exercise and haven’t done any in ages. Here are my thoughts:

• I like that he shows you first the upcoming routine, so you know what’s coming and you have time to get ready.
• Instead of doing one exercise 3 times and then do the next exercise. He usually shows you a routine of 2-3 moves, then repeats this for 2-3 times. I like that.
• The fitness ball was optional, he showed moves that can be done as an alternative in case you don’t have the ball.
• I like that it only takes 30-45 minutes.
• Doing this DVD for the first time, they moved a little fast, but I think that’s good once I’m getting better (hopefully). For now I just pause the DVD.

Have you tried Supreme 90 Days?
