Customer Reviews of Prevention Fitness Systems: Drop It in 30

Great workout for beginner!
I don't do workout videos as a rule. I am making an exception in trying to get in shape after having a baby in the freezing Midwest winter. This is a great workout for the beginner that I now must consider myself. It takes a few times through to get all the moves down just perfect, but once you get the moves and keep up it's a good workout to get you into the fat burning heart rate range. <

>Also, I agree with other reviewers in that Chris Freytag is not annoying like some of the other workout video people. And I like that the set is simple and not some pretentious island view overlooking the beach. I'm here to workout, not pretend I'm on vacation. <

>This is not meant to be a cardio workout so don't buy it for that. It's for mid-range heart rate, fat-burning.

Great Mix
I always enjoy the workouts that Prevention puts together - there's so much variety that you will certainly not get bored. Your heartrate will be up, but I was never gasping for breath (which is good!) Chris definitely has a cheerful personality that isn't overwhelming. She's encoraging, motivating, and makes you hit all the areas of your body. If your looking something that really intense, this video isn't it, but I still feel it's a decent workout. And it's broken up into seperate segments, so if you are crunched for time you can just do what your in the mood for.

Really good except...
I would have loved to give this 5 stars. There are two workouts, a warm-up, cool-down, a strength training appendix, and even a section where they break down the moves. The only thing they could have added that, in my opinion, would have made this the one of the best out there is a thorough stretch segment. Considering how much squatting and lunging you do (which really works the quadriceps) I would have appreciated some kind of quad stretch in the warm-up, if not an entire segment devoted to stretches. So a word of warning - before you start, stretch those calves and thighs!
