Power 90 Master Series: Sculpt 5-6

This is a helpful way to get ready for P90X. I bought this as a easy workout day, as I have done P90X and its variations. It is a nice and even entertaining workout.

I'm a 40 year old guy who has run intermittenly over the past decade. Recently I completed the 13 week Power 90 program and immediately started on to the Power 90 Master Series and I thought this DVD was extremely tough. It's about 50 minutes long starting with a warm up and then stretching followed by a series of exercises that never repeat though out the routine, ending with the cool down and stretching. I continually struggle with my balance and many of these exercises present additional challenge because of this but I am learning to make the modifications I need to still do the exercise but not topple over and that is helping a lot. As time goes on I have confidence that I'll get better as I get stronger but I have to say that my first crack at it had lots of time where I stood while Tony and his crew completed the exercises. It really wore me out with a great combo of strength building and cardio. He mentions in the beginning that this Plyo workout is very tough and he wasn't exaggerating. I felt like this routine and his cardio interval routine are the most grueling of his cardio workouts in the Master Series. I would be surprised if even the fittest of individuals thought this workout was a breeze. I am happy with the soreness my body feels today as I can tell the workout was effective.

I used Power 90 1/2 and 3/4 and was expecting this to be just as good or better. The graphics weren't as good as they had a different counter on the bottom instead of on the side. The length was 44 minutes but over 8 minutes at the beginning was warm up and stretching and then the cool down was 8 minutes which I thought was excessive. The main exercises were a little confusing though I eventually figured them out. I did have sweat dripping off of me at the end but it wasn't as challenging as I was expecting, probably since a lot of the time wasn't strictly on working out.

ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCT BY TONY HORTON! Also ordered Trimmer Thighs. This is an amazing program. A tough work out, but Tony says to go at your own pace. Emphasizes form and safety, through which you get greater results. Tony is very professional, but FUNNY. Very challenging, but also motivating. I really like the count down clocks. The music is soft, which helps me concentrate better on form and safety. Tony takes care of business. On my first use, I was already sweating at the end of the warm up, and had to stop half way through the program, but I loved it! I can't wait to progress and to be able to complete the entire 40 minutes. I can already feel my body getting more toned. I was very impressed by the P90X infomercial and eventually want to work my way up to that one. Once I get familiar with the segments, I can mute it and turn up my stereo. You will not be sorry that you chose this program.

it was ok and definitely worth the money but not tony's best work. I felt the original power 90 was better

I like it. I have been doing it 3 times a week since I got it. It has been working and it's not too hard to do. In fact I may even get Tony Horton's harder workouts. I like it because it has a warm up, water breaks, work out and cool down.

I have been using the Power 90 series for a long time and didn't know there was another set until recently. Was really happy to find these in new and unopened condition. The original series gives you a very good work out but the Master Series really raises the bar. It's going to take a while to get to this level.

The instructor is so irritating that I couldn't enjoy the workout. Thankfully there's an option to turn off his idle chatter and use cues only. Not sure why he has music playing because he never utilizes the beat.
