30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Design with Kelly Coffey-Meyer

I have been a Jillian Michael's fan since I lost my baby weight from my first child with her 30DS. I have almost all of Jillian's DVDs and have depended on them for years to stay in shape. After my second child I had a shoulder injury that tends to cause chronic tendon pain in my shoulder, neck and back. It prevents me from doing the more jarring plank-type movements that Jillian really relies on to up the intensity in her workouts. This left me doing only her less intense level 1 workouts or modifying her workouts so often that it felt it was not even really worth it to turn them on.Jillian's workouts involve a LOT of burpees, mountain climbers, plank jacks etc. and they were leaving me in pain. I struggled to find something equally intense that doesn't incorporate those now *popular* moves that so many instructors rely on. This was the perfect solution! While she does incorporate some plank moves, they are minimal and they mostly involve slow strength building movements rather than jarring and jumpy movements. She also has a modifier that you can watch if you want to skip the move altogether and stay on your feet. I felt that even if I skipped those few moves I still would get a really great workout overall because she doesn't rely on them for the whole workout.Now that I've had my third child I really need a good workout to get back on track. With this workout I found myself sweating hard and really feeling great! Another thing that surprised me was that I enjoyed the fact that she adds a little more choreography, which keeps my mind interested. Her combinations of punches and footwork are not super hard to master, but they keep you thinking and counting. Jillian's workouts just repeat a simple move for 30 seconds like butt kicks or jacks, which can leave you just wishing away the time. This really kept me more entertained!Her teaching style is straightforward and strong. She encourages heavy weights, which I think is progressive and exciting to try. Overall I found this to be a really refreshing change from what I am used to. I love that I can still workout hard without aggravating my tendons. Great DVD! I will definitely be checking out more of her workouts soon, but all the premixes on this DVD will keep me satisfied with this one for quite awhile! Thanks Kelly!

I discovered Kelly Coffey Meyer about 3 months ago and I can't get enough of her workouts and style. This is my 8th workout dvd I've bought and I'll probably order a couple more I love this workout dvd because it has one cardio workout and weight training workout. The weight training workout is cool because she has you use three sets of weights from light to heaviest and each set of exercises rotates through the weight sets. The kickboxing workout is very fast paced and I thought I was prepared since I've done Taebo, I was wrong. I was all over the place, but at least I was still moving. I know with practice, I'll be able to keep up and get even more out of the workout. I Love Kelly Coffey Meyer!

Great workout! I needed to switch it up from my 21 Day Fix workouts and didn't want to pay a lot. This was inexpensive, but an awesome workout.Love the circuit aspect- 2 rounds of cardio, then 2 rounds of weights (repeated 3(?) times) for 30 minutes (also includs warm up and cool down/stretch).I'm a new fan of Kelly and will be buying more!

The cardio boxing is great, and, if you use heavy enough weights for the "pump" section, that is truly challenging. Kelly has combined both in a 53 minute awesome premix. Kelly has great videos, and I definitely will reach for this one often. There is a low impact modifier for those who need it.

I stumbled onto Kelly Coffey-Meyer by accident and after checking out the various workouts on youtube I decided to give her a try. This is the first one I tried and I have to say I love it. Even the weight training workout. Usually any weight training workouts drag for me. This one went by quickly. I actually enjoyed it and I can honestly say I have never felt that way about any weight training workout I've done., and I've been working out for nearly 21 years. I will definitely check out her other workouts.

I have a lot of Kelly C-M videos and I really like them. This one has the cardio workout and the weight workout and then the pre-mixes to keep in interesting after you've done the work out several times. It is the same warm up for both workouts and she used to do separate warm ups for each workout, but other than that it is a good workout with the options for upping the level included like always. She throws in a few (a very few) slightly more dance-like steps but I didn't feel that took away from the serious athletic-feel of the video; just added variety.

This is not a great exercise program. There is no instruction on how to properly perform each exercise or movement. Even if someone knows how to perform correctly, shouldn’t there at least be reminders present so users may avoid injury. Seems a bit irresponsible.

Got this after trying it out at the library for free. I have to be careful of ab exercises which exacerbate my hip or put on back strain, and I hate lying on the floor doing side leg lifts etc. I found a nice little section which was just perfect for me in here, and it is getting results !

Kelly's workout dvd is the best. She's very fit and makes the workout fun...the moves are a bit challenging but with hard work and dedication I have mastered most of them. Cheers.

Excellent no-nonsense low-impact toning workout. This DVD includes two workouts: (i) legs and (ii) upper body. It's simple to follow but the moves are tough and I ache the next day in a good way. Highly recommended.

There are so many options in this DVD, that you can choose a 30 minute workout or a premix of any length of time that you wish to do. The workouts are very tough and work the core like never before.

After 30 years of doing fitness DVDs, I can finally say All the Kelly Coffey-Meyer DVDs I have purchased have made a huge difference. I would highly recommend her DVDS. Thanks so much

Love Kelly's dvds. This one is a combination of several of her ab workouts from her different dvds. Nice to have them all in one place if I want to work on abs.
