This supercharged, energetic program compiles short exercise routines culled from a number of other titles in Anchor Bay's 10 Minute Solution series, including 5 Day Get Fit Mix, Rapid Results Pilates, Dance It Off & Tone It Up, and 6-Pack Ab Attack, with something for everyone (although the DVD is aimed at women): Pilates, dance, weights, and basic workouts. “It's only 10 minutes of work. We've got to make every second count!” says Jessica Smith, who presents two of the segments. Most of the trainers leave their midriffs bare, the better to show the undulating “6-pack” muscles they've developed, and hardly break a sweat as they push on, accompanied by driving music while encouraging the at-home exerciser to “work hard, come on!” and “don't stop—I want it to burn!” A menu option allows the parts to be rearranged in a custom workout, including repeats. A printed 10-day meal plan that accompanies the DVD misstates the protein content of several foods: a tablespoon of ketchup is shown as having 3 grams of protein, for example (it's actually 0.3). Nevertheless, this is recommended, overall. Aud: P. (F. Gardner)
