Abstract

 

 

These days, it is not uncommon to be into the exercise-hype that has recently swept the nation. And to make exercising more available to those individuals who do not like to go to the gym, due to overcrowding and feelings of lacking self-confidence, or whatever other reason, this exercise video can be used in the privacy of a home. This intermediate-level, mixed-impact, basic choreographic workout emphasizes speed, endurance and coordination. It includes a well-structured mix of both classic cardio and challenging kickboxing combos. The instructor is very supportive, and motivational, yet very “boot camp-like” in nature. And, the perfectly structured workout starts with a two-minute warm up, thirty-one minute workout, and a 3-minute cool down. This workout is not available in stores and can be ordered most quickly from www.collagevideo.com for $14.95 for the single VHS video or $69.95 for the seven-workout series on aerobics and toning in DVD. The compilation DVD also includes Quick Fit System Quick Fit Cardio Classic, Quick Fit Cardio Strike, Quick Fit Cardio Blast, Quick Fit Hips, Thighs and Buns, Quick Fit Shoulders and Arms, Quick Fit Abs and Quick Fit Chest and Back.

Critical Comments

 

 

Potential Audience. This video is definitely makes exercising more available to those individuals who do not like to go to the gym, due to overcrowding and feelings of lacking self-confidence, or whatever other reason.

Life. Even though the exercises may remain the same, this video will only last as long as those people using the video feel comfortable and can relate to those people in the video.  While it may seem like a minor detail, persons purchasing this video will pay close attention to how the people look in the video and the clothes they wear.  If they focus too much on their clothes, it will lead them not to use the video efficiently.

Price. It seems that people will pay anything for exercising videos that promise quick results.

Availability. This item is usually in-stock, and will be shipped as soon as payment is received.

Depth. The actual purchased video claims to complete an effective workout in 37 minutes, however, it cannot be determined by the 1 minute preview clip.
