Specifically, Tonique is more endurance based and in many ways seems harder, because she will do one move for what feels like forever, and she tends to cluster several exercises that are similar to really burn out the muscles. And Dream Body is definitely more of a circuit workout, you are switching things up a lot more although I also enjoy that DB tends to structure the workouts to get a good burnout in an area, like Tonique does, and has longer circuits than many workouts. I also agree that the newer Toniques, with lots of pushups, breakdance, handstand, and that type of move (i.e., not just lunges and squats) seem harder because they are total body. For me I can more easily accomplish a 60 minute DB workout than a 60 minute Tonique...these days I'd rather keep my Tonique less than 45 minutes to feel doable. As for results I've never done either exclusively, but feel like Tonique shapes my legs and glutes like nothing else. DB really has a great overall toning effect. They are both amazing, and some of my absolute favorites!! My recommendations for DB: Both Dream Body first DVD set and the second set. First set has a more ab and inner thigh focus, along with more toning, and the second set is more outer thigh and cardio, and has some intense glider work. To me Sweat Lab and the strange stand alone DVD with the bubbles aren't as good. I really like the original Bump too, the second one was good too but not as good as the first, IMO. My recommendations for Tonique: My absolute favorite is Born to Move (predominantly leg work with some cardio) and I also really like her Express workouts, Hamptons Express, entire Hawaii series, Royale (for an ambitious day - this may be her toughest workout), Femme Fatale, Addicted to Movement I haven't done a workout of hers I haven't liked. Except maybe Sculpt Dynamics because of all the jumping sometimes bothers my knees.

Thanks ebianco - I really appreciate the suggestions. I actually bought the first Dream Body stand alone workout to see if I like it enough to spend money on a whole set- I think the bubble thing will be annoying. I plan on using my own music once I am familiar with the workout.
I totally agree about Tonique giving great curves - it's just so darn painful Hopefully the two together will be a good balance... Thanks everyone! |
