(What's this?)
I love 10 Minute Solutions, their dvds are fun and easy to fit into the busiest of days. I was pleased to see that this one is presented by Jessica Smith, who I find a very encouraging, unpatronising and likeable instructor. I've been using her previous contribution to the 10 Minute Solution range, 'Quick Tummy Toners' for a few months now and really noticed the results.
'Belly, Butt and Thigh Blasters' comprises five 10 minute workouts:
Better Booty Camp - to tighten and lift the bottom
Strong and Slim Thighs - for strong, lean legs
Trim and Toned Tummy - crunches, curls and twists to define abs
Lower Body Makeover - cardio and lower body toning
Belly Flab Fighter - fast paced cardio to melt away excess fat
All the sections are done using the sculpting loop, like a small resistance band, which is included with the dvd. Using the loop has the effect of making you use your muscles in a more defined way, creating tension in each move to make you work harder.
I found this dvd to be quite intense, taking it up a notch to intermediate fitness. I can do, and really enjoy, this dvd now, after a year of regular excercise and losing over four stone. I do think, though, if I'd tried this dvd a year ago when I was overweight and unfit, I'd have given up on it. It's really not pitched at beginner level. If you're new to excercise or consider youself unfit at all, I'd recommend 10 Minute Solution Target Toning, which is pitched at beginner level, and also the dvd I mentioned earlier, Ten Minute Solution Quick Tummy Toners, both of which worked wonders for me when I first began my fitness regime, and the latter remains invaluable as it has built in progressions as you get fitter.
'Belly, Butt and Thigh Blasters' is an excellent, enjoyable and motivational dvd, recommended for those who are already quite/very fit and want to shape up, or for someone like me, who's been excercising for a while and has improved their fitness, but has some way to go to reach their target, and wants to take their routine up a level.

(What's this?)
I've been using this DVD for a couple of weeks now. The pros are that you can do a section of exercise every day and each section only takes 10 minutes, as the title suggests! The exercises are original and get your heart pounding, and you can feel them actually working. The addition of the 'sculpting loop' increases resistance and it's fun doing unusual exercises.
I would warn you however that this DVD is not for the clumsy or uncoordinated! Some of the steps can be quite complicated and because they're short bursts of exercise you don't get much time to practice, or to see how they are put together. Make sure you do it with your curtains shut or your neighbours will have a field day.
All in all I'd call this DVD a worthwhile investment, as it's great for busy people who still want to keep fit. It's just a bit complicated!

(What's this?)
This DVD has five ten minute workouts specifically targeting the belly, butt & thighs. You can select the whole five programmes or chose an individual section or mix and match. There is a short introduction from the instructor. The DVD also comes with a "sculpting loop" - a stretchy band which enhances the workout through resistance.
Each section may only be ten minutes long but it is a tough workout especially the trimmed and toned tummy - that hurt the abs! The pace is fast so it takes a few times of doing the exercises to keep up and follow the routine changes. It is fast paced and keeps the energy levels high but it was good and you can feel improvements the more you do it.
I did find that the "sculpting loop" tended to work up and down my legs and calves and was a bit of a nuisance though it works well when being held in the hands. There is no warm up session and the cool down/stretch at the end of each session is very short - it would benefit from extra time or a separate section for these.
It is a great work out if you are short of time and as said before, you can mix and match depending on the areas you want to target and the time you have available. It would be a good DVD to use as part of a fitness routine once you have a good level of fitness - not really a beginner's starting point.
