Transform Your Body With Brooke Burke: Strengthen & Condition

Here, Brooke Burke is joined by her celebrity trainer, Greg Joujon-Roche, who, she says, developed the workout. It's very similar to the Tone & Tighten installment; in fact, it starts out with virtually the same exercise moves in the lower-body segment.

There's really no need to involve the trainer. At times, it seems as though the two -- talking over each other -- are competing to give the audience instructions. At other times, Burke -- who seems like a workout superwoman in the other DVD -- appears whiny and winded, even though she's only using itty-bitty 2-pound weights. Her tendency to clench her teeth and complain about being tired almost seems fake, in fact, because she's such a stalwart in the other DVD.

This is, however, a really challenging workout. As in the other one, moves are done for one minute -- and categorized into lower body, upper body and ab segments. The ab one, which borrows a lot of moves from Pilates, is particularly tough -- especially if you do it last. Most folks who don't work out with a celebrity trainer every day will have to drop out a few reps and catch up. You'll feel the results when you can barely get out of bed the next morning.
