Donatella, did you do the entire DVD, or just one of the phases? I have only done Phase 2 in its entirety once, and I felt exhausted afterwards. It's so challenging b/c she adds the cardio and core work at the end, after you're already exhausted. But I bow down to you if you did the whole DVD!! Phases 1, 2, and the bonus Express Sculpt (or whatever it's called) are really good and a lot easier to fit into a daily workout routine.

Hi Christina,

I should use "attempted" when writing about Tonique workouts! I attempted Phase 1 and Phase 3, often pausing to rest for a few minutes and regroup, and to be in awe of Sylwia, who somehow remains so upbeat and engaging through all the reps. I didn't do nearly the number of repetitions that Sylwia did, but got a chance try all the different moves and get a feel for the workouts. I really love these and feel like it will take a very long time - if ever - to be able to get through any of them without taking a lot of breaks. Thanks for your recommendations on the non-DVD workouts, I plan on checking those out in the near future.

Are there any other Toniques that are like Premier? I love this one. It's tough but not overkill IMO.
