Customer Reviews of David Kirsch's Sound Mind Sound Body Ultimate Fitness Boot Camp

How often, O Lord? How often?
With some reservations after reading other reviews of this DVD, I went ahead and bought it, and I liked the workout much better than I expected. It's like the old joke about smashing one's head repeatedly against a wall: it feels so good when you stop! What another reviewer wrote is certainly true: some of the exercises probably work a lot better on the beach (where Mr. Kirsch and his team work out on the DVD) than they do on floors, where most of us work out. The only way I could do that "mountain-climbing" exercise was to take off my shoes, so that my sweat-socked feet could slide along the carpeted floor; but then I had to stop twice, once to remove the shoes and again to put them back on. I have two criticisms of my own that I don't think anyone has mentioned. One is the lack of "modifiers" for people with back and knee problems. The other is no mention of how often the program is to be performed. I listened carefully, even on the "informercial" part of DVD, and also read the SOUND MIND, SOUND BODY book, and am still in the dark. Usually programs involving weights require a rest day between exercise sessions, to give the muscles a chance to recuperate and rebuild; but since this program involves light weights, should one do it daily? Has anyone else asked this question, or maybe caught something I missed?

Great entire-body workout
After fast forwarding through the first two minutes of the corny scenes of David and his wife, this workout was really worth it! Every move is designed to get the maximum benefit out of the entire body and the structure worked really well. <

>I would have given it five stars except for the mistiming also mentioned by other reviewers. It was sometimes a little awkward to follow his pace. <

>These movements kept my pulse rate up for the entire workout and I love the fact that it's a very "portable" workout, only requiring 3 lb weights. <

Don't waste your money
I bought this and the Ultimate NY Body Plan DVD. I wanted a hard workout dvd. It is a ripoff as it is just 43 minutes, including stretch and cool down. The rest of the DVD is an "infomercial with David Kirsch" where he talks pychobabble on body mind connection without saying much of anything coherent and a commercial"behind the making of the dvd" segment, where he is mostly shown on the beach hugging and snuggling with his wife, and she has a segment on "don't hate me because I have a beautiful body..." I buy from Amazon all the time, but this DVD was a complete waste of money and the workout did not tire me at all.
