 New Best of Bodies in Motion
ASIN: B00000I1PW
Customer's Rating: 2
Summary: I want my money back!
Comments: Gilad is without a doubt a good instructore. Unfortunatley, he and his producers do not know how to put together a good best of tape. In and of themselves, the different workouts are wonderfull. However, Gilad flying back and forth to the different islands and the cut and breaks inbetween each segmant is quite anoying not to mention distracting. It wouldn't be so bad if he had cut down on the number of cuts by keeping each segmant grouped into one continues cut instead of breaking each section by flying around (i.e. keep all the ab workouts together)

 Gilad's Weight Loss and Toning Program
ASIN: B000064913
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: great video
Comments: I watched Bodies in Motion during the 80's on eurosport in the uk. Since then my daughter and I have looked everywhere in the uk for Gilad. Now I have the internet I am able to puchase lots of him from amazon. When I first watched it I thought I would be dissapointed, because it looked so slow. But when I got up and did it, I was pleasently surprised. I was sweating all over, it was a steady routine to follow and Gilad was enspiring and lets face it dead georgous. I find it easy to follow with good instruction, you can also vary it to suit your own capabilities. Buy it.

 Men of Steel: Arms of Steel
ASIN: 630318183X
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Great for men and women, beginner to advanced.
Comments: After knee surgery, I was unable to do my cardio aerobic tapes. I had always thought strength training to be boring, but in a wheelchair, I had few options. I started doing Arms of Steel with my husband and got hooked! It really works, and the time goes by very quickly.

 Legs of Steel-Men of Steel
ASIN: 6303181821
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Great for those with busy lifestyle
Comments: Gilad is a great instructor and I have seen his "Bodies in Motion" on TV, so I knew what I was buying. Due to my busy lifestyle I had to stop going to the gym on regular basis, but still felt the need to do something. This tape is a great solution, because you can exercise in the privacy your own home. I felt the results after first exercise. I think even when time allows me to go to the gym again, I will still use this tape for shaping.

 Gilad's Interval Training for Men
ASIN: B000064912
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Another gem from Gilad
Comments: I am a fan of Gilad and I have been using his Fat Burning Workout, Step Aerobic on Waikiki beach and his latest Quick Fit series. I recently bought this one and had several trials and llike it a lot.
This work out is designed for men even though I think that the other tapes mentioned above could be used for both men and women.
The title is misleading because it is not really interval training, i.e. alternating between cardio and strength. It is formated like a typical Gilad's complete work out - cardio and then strength. The strength part is however a circuit training.
The work out composes of:
1) 7 minutes warm up with dynamic stretching military style (Gilad used to be a military trainer). He modified some of the moves here to have up and down movements instead of side to side like those in Fat Burning to make them more manly.
2) Then 17 minutes of cardio. The basic moves are high knee walk and jump rope. The add ons are jumping jacks, kick, jabs, ham string curl, skiing motion, double speed and quadruple speed and more up and down movements. They are similar to Fat Burning but the side to side moves were replaced with more up and down movements.
3) Next is 11 minutes of three circuits strength training with light weights ( 5 to ten pounds) of seven exercises and 10 reps each: squat , lunge, Arnold shoulder press, chest press, shoulder fly, one arm row, tricep kick back.
4) 17 minutes of three circuits of push ups, lower back raises, and ab crunches/leg raises. Each circuit composes of two sets. The push ups consists of narrow hand position with the hands slightly in front(shoulder), wide hand postion (chest) and tricep pushups. I substitute the first four sets of lower back raises with additional pushups.
5) and 7 minute stretch.
The cast composes of Gilad and six other guys. These guys are regulars in Gilad's videos and Body In Motion TV. Three were in the twenty and the other three may be in the 30 to late fifty. They were counting out loud, screaming and yelling, which make you feel like you were in a military PT work out.
The video was made in the same time as the Fat Burning Work Out. The music is the same as that in Fat Burning and the setting is on a beach of North Shore of Oahu. The work out is 60 minutes long.

 Gilad: Abs Workout
ASIN: 6303182380
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Gilad is the best!
Comments: This workout is great! It is divided into 3 levels for beginner, intermediate, and advanced abs. Beginners just do the first segment, but as you get stronger, you continue with the workout until you are completing the entire video. It is quite rewarding to get to that point too! Gilad offers encouragement along the way, helping to motivate you to finish (just 2 more, you gotta want these!). I would not buy a workout video from anyone but Gilad.

 Gilad's 30 Minute Beginners Workout
ASIN: 6303182372
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Great for real beginners!
Comments: A great video for those individuals just starting out with an exercise program. The quality of the video itself varies, but I find the content is exceptional. Gilad obviously knows a lot about fitness and is very careful throughout the video to encourage you to do no more than you can. He stresses, at different points in the video, stretching exercises so that your body, especially your back, doesn't suffer during this workout.

 Gilad's 30 and 60 Minute Low Impact Workouts
ASIN: B000064916
Customer's Rating: 3
Summary: Can I put my arms down now?
Comments: Although this is a low-impact video, it turns out to be one of Gilad's toughest (for me anyway) because for so long in the beginning of the video you're doing arm exercises, then doing leg exercises with your arms held out in front of you for what seems like forever. Tough! The rest of the video is easier--low impact aerobics then floor exercises. The abs section is kind of tough too, but not torture like that arm section in the beginning. Of course, I enjoy a challenge, so I try not to avoid this video too much, but it's not one of my favorites. As for the 30 minute low-impact section, it's just not advanced enough for me so I haven't tried it since the first time I did this video. It's more of a cool-down after the high impact 60 min. workout, if you have that much time.

 Gilad's Getting Fit in Jerusalem
ASIN: B000064911
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Gilad in great!
Comments: I love to workout to this video. The time just flies by and I am drenched in sweat by the end of it. I recommend this video along with Gilad's Get Fit Quick series. If you're like me and have two left feet, you'll find that Gilad is an athlete and not a dancer, so he keeps the steps simple. Even a big burly guy would be comfortable with these moves. I have middle eastern family, so the music, which one reviewer thought annoying, is actually nice to me. It makes a change from the usual workout music. Anyway, I have lost four dress sizes in the last year solely from workout videos. My favorites are Gilad and The Firm. Include this one in your video rotation and you won't be disappointed in the results.

 Gilad: New Beginners Workout
ASIN: 6303575641
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Challenging, easy-to-follow workout
Comments: I really like this workout--has a good warmup, fast-paced but easy-to-follow aerobics section, good stretches and toning exercises at the end. The only thing I don't like is that he does pieces of a routine and then "starts from the top" to do them all in order--seems too repetitive--but gets a good sweat going. Again, I like easy-to-follow when the camera always shows you what move is going on, and Gilad prompts very well. Also, I like that it is 1 hour long. Also like the tropical scenery,and the music is "Carribean-like."
