Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently wrote a review for this product to try and help correct a misunderstanding that another reviewer had wrote but after having and using the product for a few more weeks have decided that the quality of the product deserves a more in-depth review (hence the edit of my previous one). It's a little longer than the original but for those considering parting with our hard earned cash the more information available to you on a product has always been better (for me at least).
This DVD is the start of a four part series with this DVD being System 1 - Preparatory which will follow on to System 2 - Master Level Fitness, System 3 - Plateau Breakers and System 4 - Out Blast. You must understand this before you purchase it as although it is a complete and challenging workout for all levels it is also the start or foundation workout for the more advanced DVD's that will follow.
The DVD is very well produced and presented, is shot in what I would consider an exotic location and is easy to navigate having the option of the workout and a focus on technique (plus scene selections) available from the menu. The workout portion runs to nearly 55 minutes plus you get the focus on technique section to ensure you do the movement the right way.
The workout consists of a warm-up with jumping jacks and high knees, you then have about 5 different stretches and then move on to dips, push ups, lunges, mountain climbers, calf raises, the wall, hand to toes, crunches and reverse crunches. Within just about each area there are different levels for the beginner, intermediate and advanced user. Essentially this provides a complete full body workout and if done while following the DVD I would be surprised if no matter your level of fitness if you don't feel it. You also need do not need any equipment, just some motivation, a place to workout and a couple of chairs or something suitable to do dips on.
The other section is the focus on technique section in which the author illustrates each of the movements that will be used within the workout. For me at least initially this was the reason that I originally purchased the DVD as I do not wish to go to a gym to ensure that I have the correct technique and this was the only DVD I could find that I trusted enough to show it to me. The workout came as a bonus and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was considering I did initially look at it for the workout.
While you may be thinking that this DVD is not a complete workout, it is and the author has done the admirable thing by separating his workout series into a number of different DVD's. For one thing you get much more information than would be available if he tried to put everything on one DVD and more importantly he has tried to eliminate the problem of injuries which many people would face if they fail to create a solid foundation of fitness.
Remarkably this DVD is able to create a solid foundation of fitness for beginners and have something useful for the more advanced individuals, through the author's use of different reps within the workout. Few individuals who consider themselves fit would be able to say they have not had a workout if they follow this exercise routine and most beginners should be able to easily cope with the workout and see positive results before the next level DVD is available.
Over recent years more and more prominent fitness gurus and authors have begun to advocate the use of body weight exercises, probably due to there effectiveness, the reduction of the risk of injury and the total body workout that can be had at least from the methods that this author advocates. The thing that has always turned me off many of these authors is the cult following which some of them have and the complete lack of objectivity that some of their reviewers have, I generally do not take the time to do reviews unless I feel a product is truly worthy or if is good and has no reviews or there is misleading information on the product but with this DVD I feel that it is worthy of your hard earned money.
I would have to say that I believe this DVD is worth the money and that the workout is challenging, comprehensive and above all safe and that although there are not a lot of other options available in this genre even if there was I don't think you would find a better product unless there was a massive change in the way these types of products are made.
Finally I would also say that you should evaluate the track record and credibility of any author that produces any workout video or book. Although I have purchased this authors books before I find him credible and trust him as professional in his field for the following reasons. He has a number of books which have always received high praise on Amazon, he has not just dreamed up some new thing and tried to sell it, he has also always advocated these types of exercises and at least in my opinion has managed to incorporated them into a better overall package and refined how he delivers them but most importantly for me is the fact that he always comes across as a passionate man for the subject area and gives you the feeling that he does not only care about selling his product but also cares about the individual that will be using it something that is lacking in many of the other authors that currently produce fitness books and videos.

Exercise is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to total wellness. Those who focus on the aesthetics of muscle are missing the picture. The System is a lifestyle. In the SEALs they asked us not to settle for normal. If we did then we did not belong there. What this did is put us in a mindset to set higher standards. I am asking you, not to accept normal. The System is designed to help you achieve strength, flexibility, speed, lean muscle mass and endurance. Gym junkies can be impressive for 30 second burst of energy but beyond that they are useless. Majority of gym junkies only last 10 minutes in my exercise class. Whereas I can take someone from my class who can last for 60 minutes yet they still have incredible 30 second burst of energy. We are looking for functional muscles with a purpose. System 1 is a 30 to 60 day program that requires 45 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Purchase System 1 and get ready to change your life. One of the highest quality exercise DVD's. 5 camera shots while overlooking incredible Zion's National Park. System 1 - three day a week program which means there is no time to put my five day a week routine. You will get a great work out with System 1 while preparing your technique and strength for System 2. System 2 will be our full run with me if you can 5 day a week program. Sorry about the delay to my long time customers, I fought past an illness that stripped me of weight and strength which you can note in System 1. I am back and stronger than ever and will film in Nov.
