Gilad: Bodies In Motion Waikiki Pier Workout

I've been working out with Gilad for over ten years now. I used to live in Hawaii and as a child I remember my mom going to his gym and working out I remember playing on the equipment also trying to workout with her.In my early adult years Galid was on tv on the fit Channel and I started working out to his workouts everyday. I've tried to workout with so many others but just didn't like the others Gilads are always the best in my opinion. Maybe because it's who I grew up with I don't know all I know is I've seen the best results with Gilads workouts.After a few years I moved and we no longer have dish tv I missed my workouts with Gilad and decided it was time to start back so I ordered this DVD.I really enjoy this DVD because it has such a good vibe coming from it. This DVD is perfect for beginners because it's not to hard. Don't get me wrong it will break you out in a sweat but it's not physically challenging for someone who's been working out for a while.It's very easy to follow like if there's one person who's rhythm challenged it's me. God help the person that tried to tach me Zumba I tell ya they were going one way and I was going the other. But the DVD definitely is not rhythm challenging. I also love how he's so explanatory also he constantly makes sure your holding yourself correctly so you get the best results.I can not wait to get more of his DVDs I wouldn't think about working out to anyone else I've tried it and I just don't feel it with any other. Gilad has always done well and I will continue to workout with him till I'm to old to move lol. I highly recommend this workout DVD especially for beginners. Don't let the 90s vibe kill it for you because it is a good DVD.This is a confirmed purchase, I paid full price for this DVD and was given no compensation to leave a five star review. I have no relationship with this seller.

I love these videos. I have volume 1 and 2 plus "The New Best Of Bodies In Motion". I used to follow him when he was on tv (which is still is, but the channel that shows his workouts where I am, show them too early for me). I've seen some post that they like his workouts, but that they are too short (20 minutes). I agree that since they were taken directly from his tv show, the commercial edits don't really work on DVD; with that said, if you can bear to do one of the following it can work for you. This is what I do:1) I either restart the episode just after the cardio portion and do it again (from the beginning) before doing the floor work2) if I don't do #1, I will do 2 episodes a day to get in a good amount of work done3) I wear a HR monitor while working out (If I follow the video, as it is, I will burn between 200-300 calories--or course I wear it while doing the floor work as well). With this, I can decide if the amount of calories I burned is good enough for the day, or if I should do more (currently I'm doing 2 of his episodes a day--so with the HR Monitor the total amount of calories burned is between 400-600)..

Let me start by saying, file me under slightly out of shape. however, that being said, in younger more fit years i really liked doing step aerobics. so, to add some variety to my current efforts of getting back into shape, i tried step aerobics again. within 10 minutes of doing this workout i found myself looking at the clock wondering how i was going to make it the full 40 minutes! i also found myself wondering what ever happened to the me who was able to do far more difficult step routines with such ease! anyway, it's a challenging workout for those who are new to step or those who are like me and are just getting back into shape. i was dripping sweat w/in 15 minutes! for more physically fit and athletic types, this may not be so challenging. aside from the workout, you have the whole feel of the video. it's sort of out dated and, well, Gilad is Gilad but i love Gilad so that doesn't bother me. i would recommend this DVD. it accomplishes what it sets out to do!

If you truly want to lose weight and tone your entire body "you" can work with any of Gilad's DVDS. Years ago I went from a size 15 to a size 8 ( and was not even expecting to get that small) in 3 months time working out 1 hour a day in my own home!! I have had a knee injury and could not walk for 3 years..have gained a lot of weight but the first person I thought of to help me lose weight when I was able to walk again was Gilad..I have 3 of his DVDS from his classic collection (if they helped me lose weight the first time, they will again). Already I have gone down 1 size and have only been exercising for about 2 weeks. As one person wrote in their review "if you can overlook the outdated exercise outfits" you can lose the weight!! And I want all the people out there who say they are physical unable to follow his DVDs to know that I have cerebral palsy on my right side..some movements I cannot do but I always come back and walk in place as Gilad will tell you to do if you cannot keep up with him. Check out success stories on Gilad.TVUpdate: this is July 28th and I have now gone down another size since I first wrote this review...wow

Love this DVD! It includes 3 workouts, 20 minutes each, during which he works on all the muscles in your body. I just feel my body starting to transform. The exercises are not hard, and 20 minutes is exactly as long as I can take without getting seriously tired. I do it twice a day - once in a morning, and then in the evening just after I'm back home from work and am waiting for the water to heat up.More than just my figure, my health is getting better with this DVD.The workout includes aerobics, which is good for your heart. It does a great job for battling anxiety. Relax yourself after each day of work, and grab the energy in the morning to take the day easily, and you're settled. Plus, my sleep has improved (granted that I keep away from highly chemical foods, dairy and caffeine). Thank you, Gilad!

Will never buy a used item again

Gilad is my favorite aerobics instructor. Funny (though a bit hokey at times), motivating, and he gives you a good workout. He also explains how to do the various moves/exercises, so you avoid injuring yourself. He's pretty easy to follow. And if you don't get it the first time, no worries, you'll catch on quickly.

Still the best! Fun , easy to follow excersizes that make you sweat.

I love these workouts, warm up, aerobic section, floor (abs) and legs, and cool down. Around 23 minutes each, easy to find time to do.

Excellent, loved these workouts in the 1990's, and still do!

I didn't like this dvd because each workout is too short for my taste, especially the aerobic sections. I feel cheated.
