Review at a glance

My reviews will consist of a brief summary of each workout. If you are pressed for time, I'll provide "at-a-glance" info at the bottom with the quick and dirty details along with my personal rating. My ratings are a scale of 1-5 based on the following.
5 - Love it (or love to hate it) & will sweat to it often!
4 - Like it & will work it in to my regular workouts occasionally
3 - It's ok but nothing to get my booty out of bed and sweat about
2 - Could be alright in a crunch but not my cup of tea
1 - I won't bother clicking this one again

25-Minute HIIT Total Body Burn - Beginners Workout

This 25-Minute HIIT Total Body Burn for Beginners really hit the spot for a quick workout that manages to get the heart rate up and keep it up while also focusing on multiple muscle groups.  Allie Cohen, a Be-FiT instructor, made the transitions effortless with right-on-time cuing as you prepared for the next move. The workout is 4 circuits with 5 moves each, consisting of combinations of squats, lunges, arm presses, rows, triceps kickbacks and more.  I was surprised at how many different muscle groups were worked in a short amount of time. For a more advanced workout, you could repeat the circuits as each are hit only once. For beginners, this is an excellent workout to get the various muscle groups used to working out. Allie provides modified moves where appropriate so getting through the workout should be possible for everyone!
