Amy Dixon is beloved in the fitness DVD world for her effective, engaging workouts. Her latest DVD, Give Me 10! is another winner. Looking for cardio? Yoga? Kettlebell? Strength training? You can do it all in this workout, which is broken up into six separate 10-minute workouts: 1.Fat-Blasting Cardio 2.Upper Body Sculpt 3.Lower Body Firmer 4.Core Makeover 5.Yoga Stretch & Flex 6.Kettlebell Toneup The cardio portion is high intensity but not high impact. She uses a lot of upper body moves to get your heart rate going, and there are modifications from the background exercisers if you want to take the intensity down a notch. All you need for the DVD is a set of dumbbells and a yoga mat. (A kettlebell is optional.) While the DVD is not programmable, you can either do all six workouts at once or pick and choose your own workout. I did cardio, kettlebell and yoga to cool down. The cardio got my heart rate up quickly and kept it at a moderate level, as did the kettlebell workout, which is a great 10-minute introduction to the fitness tool. The yoga workout was very do-able and focused a lot on stretching and lengthening the muscles -- great after the cardio and kettlebell. --examiner.com
