Fig Gives: 10 Minute Solution: Ultimate Boot Camp

April 5th, 2010

This week the giveaway is for a brand new, unopened DVD called 10 Minute Solution: Ultimate Boot Camp with Jessica Smith. She’s the same gorgeous young thing who did the 10 Minute Solution: Belly, Butt & Thigh Blasters DVD I reviewed a couple days ago.  I got this one free from Anchor Bay Entertainment.

You can see a full description and a clip here at Collage Video.

If you’ve read Fit Fig before, you know I don’t do workouts with the words Boot Camp in them (except for oldie but goodie 10 Minute Solution: Kick Box Bootcamp*).  It’s just not my thing.  But I’m happy to pass it on to a lucky reader. Perhaps if you win you can come back and tell us how you like it!

To be in to win this DVD, just post a comment at the bottom. Tell us if you’ve done any of the 10-minute solution workouts or how you would like to use this DVD.  Would you do 10-minute segments on different days? Tack on 10 minutes (or more) to other workouts?  Do the whole 50 minutes as a workout on its own? Or heck, just tell me why you want it. (more…)

Fig Reviews: 10 Minute Solution: Belly Butt & Thigh Blasters

April 3rd, 2010

Today I tried out 10-Minute Solution: Belly, Butt & Thigh Blasters with Jessica Smith, which I got for free from Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Speaking of Anchor Bay, I once sent an email to Andrea Ambandos, who produces and directs most (maybe all?) Anchor Bay workout videos.  This was before I had discovered Cathe Friedrich and some of my other current favorite instructors.  I had noticed that the workouts directed by Andrea Ambandos were better quality than most others I tried. So like I said, I sent her an email, just telling her how I appreciated that her workouts were better and how seeing her name was a good sign that it was a good workout.  I’m such a dork. She never wrote back. I saw her later on that Work Out reality show (is that still on?) when she was working with Jackie on a fitness video. Anywho, that was just a little silly Fig factoid for ya.

Figaway Giveaway–Another Denise Austin DVD

February 12th, 2010

I have another Denise Austin DVD I want to giveaway this week.  This one is her 3-Week Boot Camp, which I received from Lionsgate.

You can see a full description and a clip here at Collage Video.

This is another workout with convenient short segments.  I have to confess (as I have probably confessed before) that I do not like workouts with the words Boot Camp in them. I’ve basically stopped ever doing boot camp workouts at all–even from my favorite instructor, Cathe Friedrich.  It’s just not a Fit Fig thing.  However, if you dig Denise Austin and like doing boot camp workouts, this one is for you!

Fig’s Finds: 10-Minute Solution 5-Day Get Fit Mix With Amy Bento

January 29th, 2010

Today I decided to try one of my newer workouts (I’ve actually had it awhile now but I am just now getting back to regular workouts): Amy Bento’s 10-Minute Solution 5-Day Get Fit Mix.

In the interest of full disclosure and in compliance with a new FTC rule (seriously, can you believe the FTC cares what I write on this little blog?), I received this workout DVD free, compliments of Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Now that we’ve got that out of way, I decided my review this time would start off with just copying over the little notes I took between segments, so you can really get my fresh first impressions.

Here’s what I wrote for each segment: (more…)
