I need quick, 10 minute full body workouts that are fun and simple to do. I found these workouts to be ideal for me! I’m a big fan of what Critical Bench has designed. J Effective and Simple Workout Program John T. I highly recommend Isometric Strength Training by Critical Bench. All that you really need is your body and some time, and you’re good to go. Very effective workout program. I am very satisfied. Mom of 3 Approved Becky M. Critical Bench’s fitness programs are amazing! Having my third baby really took a toll on my hips and legs - as soon as I started this program, not only did my inner thighs feel firmer, but I had less back and hip pain. It feels good to have my pre-baby body again! I highly recommend any of Critical Bench’s programs! S Good Workout Video for All Parts of the Body Scooter This provides a good toning workout for all muscle groups. Pre-pandemic I worked out at the Y and did the Cybex weight training circuit. This dvd, along with dumbbells give a workout that is just as good, maybe better. I use these along with a spinning bike and I don’t miss the gym at all. Over 40? No Problem! Mark W. As a male over 40, I’ve tried just about every exercise regime imaginable, so I’m constantly looking for different things to keep my body guessing and my workouts fresh. I knew I just had to try this new product from Critical Bench. From day one, I knew this program was legitimate from the intensity level. Keeping up with the program has been simple and works with my busy schedule. M Fast But Tough. Perfect for Maintaining on a Busy Schedule. Missler I have been a Body Beast guy for some time now and decided to change things up from time to time with cross fit or other options. These workouts are quick but effective if you use the right weights. Was not disappointed in the least from these by way of cardio, pump, and overall fatigue for short intervals. I continue to bounce between routines and this is a staple video for mixing things up. No More Gym Intimidation Pam A. Fitness and Bodybuilding have been a huge part of my life for over 30 years. I understand the need for activity and movement in our daily lives. I also understand how intimidating the gym can be for newcomers. This is why I think this program is ideal for anyone at any fitness level. I’m thrilled to be doing these workouts and following a proven method by people I trust. Thanks Critical Bench! P Great For Us Older Guys Paul Great video guide on what exercises to do and HOW to do them. Also shows what exercises work best together. Highly recommended… Incredible Fat Burning Workout Joyce B. I found this routine to be a perfect fit for my needs. It focuses on joint mobility and muscle flexibility. I actually do the beginner routine as my warm up and the advanced routine on its own day as a stand alone workout. I urge anyone to spend time doing a stretching program like this to feel and move better. S No Joint Pain With These Workouts Sonya I feel how they work. I don’t feel pain in my joints. My arms are happy! No More Pain! Tiffany C. This program is a life-saver! After teaching group aerobics for years, my hips and lower back started to hurt often. Little did I know that the basic movements I was doing were actually causing my body to break down. I was introduced to Critical Bench and after trying a few of their workouts, I felt so good! Not only did the pain I was having go away, but I noticed my legs firming up! K Great Workout KnittingMom I went through the beginner workout and enjoyed it. The stretching felt good, and it was very easy to do. Very satisfied. C Quick and Easy Enough for Yoga Newbies Coco I liked this yoga DVD because it was easy to follow along with as a beginner. I felt really good after doing it for the first time, calmer, less stressed and most of the tension in my body went away! It’s a short enough routine that it can be done everyday, but I alternate days with other exercises. Super Fun & Simple Ron E. The #1 thing anyone can do every day of their life to improve overall health and function is to move. Nothing outrageous, just some total body movements that help connect and strengthen the body. Critical Bench has created a great program full of stretches and exercises designed to restore balance, increase strength and it’s got me interested in living a more active lifestyle. N These Are All You Need for Strength Training Nick These are really all you need for strength training. They use basic, time tested dumbbell moves to help you get the most out of your time. These DVD’s keep it simple and straightforward. Each workout is about 20 minutes or less. Just a heads up to buyers, there is no warm-up or cooldowns on the dvd’s. Targets the Glutes from ALL Angles Stephanie D. Training glutes is one of my favorite body parts to hit. This program really targets the glutes from all angles. From heavy weighted thrusts to simple bodyweight exercises you can do from home, this workout will definitely keep that rear view tight! A Amazing Workouts for My Arthritic Body Alicia I was really skeptical about this. I have had arthritis since I was born. There are a lot of workouts that I’ve never been able to do. This is honestly the best workout I’ve followed off of a DVD. There are still some things I can’t do, but there are some really easy ways to modify some of the workouts. This would be great for someone like myself or your average person. S Getting Stronger in Less Time Sonia I started with 2 videos: No Back Strain Stability Ball, and Firm & Tight Mini Bands Workouts. They are fantastic! They force me to focus on specific postures and muscles. I’m getting stronger with more balance. Less time and more results. MA Quick, Fast and Efficient Mary Ann This workout hits all the major body parts with minimal time. Quick, fast and right to the point. Thank you all at Critical Bench. I appreciate your DVD’s!
