 But why, Kendra? |

OK, I'm going to be honest--I originally got the DVD because I'm a fan of Girls Next Door & thought it looked like it would be a fun workout, based on the episode I saw where the girls were putting the video together. As it turns out, I was more than pleasantly surprised at how challenging the workouts actually were... though I was really disappointed with Kendra's, which really felt like a waste of time to me. Here's a break-down of each 15-minute workout:
Holly's 'Express' Workout:
By far my favorite on the DVD, Holly's routine is very user-friendly & leaves you feeling like you've been working out for a lot longer than the 15 minutes. Though it doesn't mention it on the packaging, you'll need weights and an exercise ball.
Bridget's 'Boot Camp' Workout:
No complaints here; I was sore the next day, though, that's for sure! Bridget takes the 'Boot Camp' theme seriously and leads a rigorous, total-body toning session in her 15 minutes; the only downside is that she seems really, really nervous & it comes across every once in awhile during her routine. You'll need a pair of weights for this workout.
Kendra's Martial Arts Demonstration:
Really, this workout isn't even worth bothering with. Think Tae-Bo, but really watered-down and with a blond ponytail, and you've got it. The first three minutes of her section are basically of her dancing, followed by 10 minutes or so of jump roping & a few martial arts moves (kicking, punching and shadow boxing) I didn't even break a sweat during this one.
Overall, a great DVD with charismatic, encouraging "leaders" for quick, fun toning--just skip Kendra's section and work through Holly & Bridget's for a heart-pumping 30 minute workout. |
Great Workout!

| I love watching The Girls Next Door and I caught the episode of them making the workout dvd, as soon as it was over I went online and pre-ordered it. I got it today and tried it out. I'm a fit person who works out everyday so I didn't expect too much from it, but hey it's The Girls Next Door so I had to do it. The fifteen minutes with Holly was a nice toning workout to hit some of those difficult places. Then it came to Bridget and man I was sweating like you wouldn't believe by the end of that one. With Kendra, it was an awesome power workout at the end of the dvd. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good time hitting some key places that everyone wants to look great. Great job Holly, Bridget and Kendra! |
Pure fun...and pain!

| I love this workout DVD! It kicked my butt, my quads still hurt. I was laughing and sweating for the whole thing. It feels real, like your one of their friends and you're just working out together. I was never bored or felt like I wanted to stop the video...which I usually do! I highly recommend this for anyone that needs a good motivater and a good laugh. |
Fun workout!

| After having two kids in two years, my body was a complete mess. I had almost given up, but I was watching our local cable and saw the Girls video sneak peak. I taped it and came back after the kids went down for a nap. By the time I was done with all three workouts (45 min), I was sweating and laughing. I had a great time. Holly talks to you like you are one of her close friends, and Bridgett and Kendra get you completely worn out. It was great! I went for a jog after, and a couple weeks later I can already see results. |

| I really liked this workout DVD because it's kind of like watching an episode of the show, which I really enjoy. The only thing I would say (reason why I didn't give it 5 stars) is that there is a little redundancy with Holly and Bridget's workouts. Still great though! I like this workout DVD because I know that I will do it more than once, unlike others I've tried in the past. So, overall - a good workout and I would love to see more workouts in the future from the girls! |
Pratical workout, though Kendra's section was disappointing

| This dvd is good for those who have little time to workout. Both Holly and Bridget's sections of this dvd had tried and true effective exercises. Those segment's were 15 mintue's each and thier banter during the exercise was cute and entertaining. They effectivly explained how to do the exercise right. Let's get to Kendra's section which frankly sucked. Yes I realized this is a dvd made by skinny playmate's but I had no need to see Kendra dance and that took away from the workout time. Her kickboxing moves were good and effective for the most part but the cardio segment was about 3 mintues, you would have to repeat it over and over to get a real cardio workout. The move where she squats and kicks is the best one and if you watch this segment a few times and learn the moves your better off turning off the dvd and doing them on your own for as long as needed. The main reson I bought this was because thier tv show is cute and funny and that carried to the dvd. Another reason for purchase is there is nothing more motivating to me than watching a Playboy Bunny exercise. Overall this dvd is good if you skip Kendra's section. |

| I have a huge collection of excersize videos and dvds. I really enjoy this workout due to how it is broken up into 3 different 15 minute segments. You can do them all or one or two in conjunction w/ another workout. Two of the workouts are a mix of toning and ab workouts w/ some cardio while the third is pure cardio kickboxing style. It is fun to follow the Playmates and listen to them talk about living at the Mansion while you get a good workout. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good easy to follow workout. |
Love it

| So I have been doing the work out vido about a week and omg Im feeling it. Im used to doing little or no excersie and this is an awsome work out Bridgets is the most intense followed by Hollys then Kendras. Kadenas was one bid dissapoinment at the beggining she starts dancing doesnt explain whats shes doing which was one big waste and just overalls hers did nothing for me I got more entertainment from the birds in the background. Overall I give it 5 stars I recom. |
Good Quick Workout!

| I bought this DVD because I had been doing Holly's workout on demand from my cable company, and I really liked it! I'm not sure if you would get results if this was your only form of exercise, but I go running, do crunches, and then do Holly's workout, and I seriously see results! I also like Bridget's workout, but it's a little bit harder. I was expecting Kendra's to be the best, because she seems to be the sportiest and the most in shape...but it's not that great. The first couple minutes are all her dancing around and then there's some kickboxing and stuff, and I just couldn't get into it. All in all, it's a good DVD if you're looking for a quick workout to add on to your daily routine! |
How fun!

This workout is perfect for the lady with not very much time!
I rock it out to these for a little while after I go to the gym and get my cardio in and i'm toning up beautifully! |
