Summary: The Best DVD Ever
Review: I'd give this more stars if I could. The only thing missing is the brass pole.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Decent workout
Review: I'm a tennis player, so I thought that Anna K's workout might be a good one to try. It is definitely challenging. Most people don't have the space available for the wind-sprints and cone-course exercises she has at the end, but most of the exercises can be done at home. Most people don't have a medicine ball, but you can do the same exercises with a basketball. The balance ball adds a whole new dimension to free weight exercises, so it's worth getting one.

Anna's feeble nutrition and diet tips are a waste of tape. But I wish the producers had spent a little more time showing Anna play tennis. A tennis tip or two would have been nice and might encourage non-players to take up the game.

Someone commented on how awful the music is and I cannot understand what his objection was. It's pretty much soft rock, not played very loudly. The visuals are also shot with taste and restraint. No sleazy, lingering shots of her chest and butt, thank goodness. But my teenage son did enjoy watching it nonetheless.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good athletic development dvd, but takes a lot of equipment
Review: It's a great dvd for if you are trying to develop for a sport. She really shows exercises that she does for tennis. This was a pleasant surprise as I thought they'd just put together a workout and stick her in there to have people buy it.

The big negative I had, was, when buying it, there was nothing to indicate on the case that you would need all that equipment and a partner. You need a medicine ball, orange cones, a big powerball, hand weights, bands for your ankles, a giant grid for the floor, a step, and etc. I wish they would have had the tennis clips etc. on an optional separate part of the dvd. If you just want to do the work out, you have to sit through that.

I like it, because it's geared towards improving athleticism as opposed to just sculpting muscles.

Summary: This is quality stuff...
Review: Not geared for females in need of an actual workout video, but I give it five chubbies for Annas male admirers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Many great exercises but the music gives you a headache
Review: The music to this video was loud and awful. Unless you like heavy metal type music, you'll find it unbearable. The music was geared toward Anna's young male groupies instead of the serious thirty and older customers.
If you can deal with the music, Anna shows you practically every exercise to reach every muscle. It's a great workout and the exercises are extremely helpful for improving your physical ability in the sport you play, especially tennis which is why I bought this tape in the first place. It helps in improving your speed, strength, endurance, balance, and agility and even tells you how many calories you should be eating and gives you four examples of a good nutritional power breakfast. It also shows you how to warm up before hand and how to cool down afterwards.
However, the video does not tell you how much weight,sets, or repetitions you should do except for saying that you should use a weight amount to work out with that makes you tired after 15-20 reps. She uses an agility ball, cones, a box, a medicine ball, weights, lateral resistors, and a jump rope. You'd have to buy some of these exercise tools or use your imagination and use things around the house. But if you're serious about self physical improvement, I definitely think it's worth the investment.
I am rating this video a 4, only because the music is horrendous and I can't mute it because then I can't hear the instuctions.
If you have some knowlegde about reps and sets on your own, and you play a sport, especially tennis, or just want to get in shape and can get past the music, I would then recommend this video.
I would also recommend it to heavy metal music fans.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Anna helping me work out?
Review: The only parts of my body that this gives a decent workout to are my heart (pounding whenever I see Anna) and my imagination.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good for her male fans. For exercise?
Review: There are 100s of better videos and DVDs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I want my $$$ back
Review: This is the worst exercise video I have ever purchased. I was looking forward to getting a toned and tight body like Anna. She showed me the exercises to do, but that was it! I like the medicine ball exercises, but I don't have anyone to workout with at 6am every morning. Maybe I'll get something for it at next year's rummage sale.

Rating: 5 stars
