Michelle Dozois' BodyFIT 360

I'm 58 and have worked out off and on through the years starting w/Jane Fonda, moving on to Kathy Smith and so on through the years. I've tried the Jillian Michaels workouts, don't care for her style, and have even tried the P90X and even Shaun T's insanity. I love variety and most workouts are effective, you just have to do them. I recently discovered Michelle Dozois and I have to say that this woman is a fantastic instructor. She really knows her stuff and her dance background reflects in this workout, although I would not call this a dance workout at all. I watched the video several times before actually doing it so that I could follow her without looking at the screen. This is different, fun and a great workout. I can feel and see the results. I am older and this type of workout helps me to not only stay in shape, but it keeps me limber. Do not give up after one time, I urge you to stay with this, you will master the moves. You were not born knowing how to walk, but you did it. If you still are not convinced then I would urge you to check out her other dvds, she is a wonderful Pilates instructor as well. Good luck to all.

However, I have trouble keeping up because there isn't enough time between individual moves. I've worked out with it many times and I always have to just skip parts of some routines. I've been working out with video for decades. This is one of the few that I've never been able to complete. It's hard, but not super hard. Just quick moving.

I'm an advanced exerciser who loves a good hard and challenging workout. I tried this workout because I love Michelle and have all of her Peak Fit workouts. I have to say that I LOVED this one! I smiled throughout the whole workout which is something that I haven't done in a long time! The moves were great and combined cardio, strength, and flexibility. The music was amazing and Michelle has great cueing. I think as you get used to the moves you will be able to put more into this workout. I have 2 left feet and found this workout easy to follow. I highly recommend this workout for anyone looking for something fun and different.

I was disappointed with this video as it is very high impact and I mistakenly thought it was a lower impact, but higher and harder cardio workout. It would be great for someone looking for a very high impact workout though.

I'm in good shape & workout regularly but this moves way too fast. The moves are not explained or shown and the first couple of times I did it I just kind of went along knowing I was missing about half the moves. I'm really sorry I bought it, I know this will never be used.The music is great & Michelle is a great motivator plus she's in amazing shape! That being said it still doesn't work for me.Save your money!

I consider myself an intermediate exerciser and I tried this video yesterday for the first time. I have a few other Michelle Dozois videos (Peak 10) and I was expecting it to be similar. Boy was I wrong! When I first started, I was worried and thought I was going to hate it. Some of the moves are VERY complex and I just didn't think I could do it. I did the best that I could, and I'd say there were only a few moves I couldn't do. I felt so good afterwards, I'm glad I pushed through it. I didn't get my heart rate up as much as I do with the Peak 10 workouts, but I felt really energized and my whole body felt stretched out, more than I usually feel on a cardio or cardio/strength video. I will definitely keep it in my rotation, and I think as I get in even better shape and gain more flexibility, I'll be able to do all of the moves.

It is hard to come up with a new work out these days, but this one is new and innovative. It's like a combo of pilates, yoga, belly dancing, plyometrics, aerobic dancing etc. I rotate between Jillian Michaels, Turbo Fire, Insanity, Jackie Warner and Michelle Doizois. I really like the way Michelle ques. Her Peak 10 Cardio Resistance workouts are awesome as well. I like this one when I'm looking for less impact, more stretching, and some fun. Some of the music has a bit of a tribal sound to it and is really fun workout with. This is quite literally a work out with a whole new twist.

I like this workout a lot for cardio and flexibility work. As advertised, the moves help me to stretch my muscles and loosen up my joints. Doing that as I'm also getting a cardiovascular workout is pleasant and efficient.The transitions between moves are too fast for me to maintain good form, however. The moves are challenging but not super hard. They are super fast, though. I slowed down somewhat, but still felt some of the potential benefits got lost in the shuffle. The strength training aspect of the moves, especially for the core, was undermined by the speed.I should note that I'm a 45 year old woman, an intermediate exerciser with some dance background. I assume I'll get better at the form over time. This workout is worth the effort, I think, but at the same time I don't see it becoming a part of my core rotation.
