Hello everybody. I saw a preview of this DVD and I think I like it. I don't own any of Mindy Mylrea's workouts and I would like to know who likes her and why and if anybody owns this workout, do you use it often? And is it effective? I'm in need of some new exercise DVDs so while I wait for my new Cathe's I was checking out advanced workouts at Collage and this one caught my attention. Any input would be appreciated because I'm bored of my current workouts and I need new ones soon }(. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi - I have this workout but have never tried it. Just always grab a Cathe workout instead. So no help there - other than to say that I know it has been discussed several times - so I would do a search on this forum based on "strength toolbox" or even "toolbox" and I am sure you will come up with some good information.

I really like this workout. It has three sections for upper body, three for lower body and three for core/abs. Each one has one section using tubing, one using weights and one using body weight. Each section is about 10 minutes long. You can choose sections depending on what you want to do or how much time you have, or you can do the whole thing. She uses light weights, but it's suprising how hard she can make that!I don't have the tube that she uses, so I just use weights on the upper body section (or a band) and leg weights on the lower body section and that works fine. Mindy is very friendly but not "hyper." The only thing that gets a little tiresome is that she counts too much - constantly saying "here's three, here's two, here's one" - which I wish she wouldn't do. But when I'm really working hard, I don't notice it!

It's very unique and what I like about it is I can mix and match all the sections to personalize my workout. What I don't like about it is one section uses a band I do not have, and I have yet to find a way to work around that. However ... the use your own body weight section is surprisingly good!! You have to like Mindy though ... she's quite unique and she can get on peoples' nerves. I happen to like her a lot but I did have to take some time to warm up to her.

Hi Carol. I think they sell the band at collagevideo.com, I mean I don't have the DVD yet, but they offer a band as an optional purchase in the catalog it's an Ultra Toner Band item 9222 $14.95. If it has a figure 8 shape that's the one they offer.
Anyway, thank you everybody for your replies. I'll have to see if I like this instructor before I make a purchase. I've been known to buy other non-Cathe workouts and I use them a couple of times and then I don't use them anymore. We'll see. Take care everybody.
