| Tamilee Webb - Tight on Time: Hot Spots |
 Tamilee Webb — Tight on Time: Hot Spots(Razor Digital) 2006 What is it? Three 10-minute, mix-and-match strength training segments, each one with a different focus — abs, full body and upper body — plus a 10-minute, full body bonus session that uses exercise tubing. Also included are a 4-minute warm-up and 6-minute stretch to give your exercise sessions a proper beginning and end. Tamilee Webb instructs. Who is it for? Advanced beginning through intermediate exercisers. You should be comfortable with dumbbells, because some of these exercises are fast-paced. You will need an exercise mat and light weights (2 to 5 pounds) — because of the compound nature of these exercises and the quick pace at which they are performed, you may want to use a slightly lighter weight than normal. For the bonus section, you'll need exercise tubing (choose one of the lighter resistance levels, as you'll be using it in a wide variety of exercises).
What to expect: Tamilee Webb was the original "Buns of Steel" exercise video star, so she's been around for a long time. That means she knows her stuff, and she has put together a series of quick but effective workouts. Each 10-minute segment is full of powerful exercises. "Super Abs" uses light dumbbells to make the moves more challenging. "Total Body Rocks" contains compound exercises to work your whole body in the shortest amount of time possible. "Arms and Shoulders" also uses compound exercises to tone the muscles of your upper body. There is also a 10-minute "bonus" segment that uses an exercise tube in a selection of creative and effective exercises. Each segment has a count-down clock so you can see how many minutes you have left. Included are a warm-up and ending stretch that should be included with each exercise session for maximum effectiveness and safety (if you generate some heat before you work out and stretch afterwards, your muscles will thank you by being more supple and not as sore the next day!). So in reality, you should put aside about 20 minutes for each routine, if you are doing just one 10-minute session. Even so, 20 minutes is not all that long to get a great workout, and that's what Webb gives you in this disc. Other exercise DVDs you may like:

The DVD is broken down into three ten-minute segments that work your entire body through the use of three-pound dumbbells. One of the segments focuses on abs, one on the entire body, and one on arms and shoulders. There is also one extra ten-minute bonus workout that works your entire body using a resistance band.
Overall, this is one tough workout! Tamilee has great new moves that are not on her other DVD's, and I certainly feel sore the day after doing this workout. Just also be aware that this is a weight/strengh-training workout and not a cardio workout; although some of the segments did get my heart rate up, the segments are designed more for toning.
An additional bonus of this workout is that it also includes a three-minute warmup section and a three-minute cooldown. The DVD menu includes the option of playing these all the way through with the three main strength sections, so that you don't have to constantly go back to the main menu.
I love Tamilee, and this video is of her usual high quality, with lots of new, intense moves!
