It's Either SWAT, or it's not! September 11, 2008
This and the Extreme Weight Loss and Fat Burning are by far my favorite workouts! For an intense training day, I combine both workouts for a serious cardio and toning regiment, and I can honestly say that (even though it's challenging) I WANT to do it! There are few workouts out there that I look forward to doing! Commander Tom is so great! His direction is clear and motivating, and he knows exactly how to train you so that you stay focused and strong, and really utilize all areas for a whole-body experience. My endurance, body tone, and stamina have increased tremendously since I've done the workouts. I use lighter weights (5-8 lbs) since there are lots of repetitions, but the idea is to keep the body moving, steadily raising and lowering the heart-rate, keeping the blood pumping so that your heart and lungs are working at the optimal levels. Commander Tom says that in doing these workouts he wants us to feel that we're in the best shape of our lives, and I can truly say I'm getting there! Everyday I do it, I feel stronger and happier!
 Almost thorough yet still a good workout June 30, 2008

I did this DVD for the first time today. I think the reviews are very accurate and reflect what one will expect during the workout. There are some distractions that may hinder beginners such as:
* Miscues and miscounts even with the 5-count countdown clock- many times Tom doesnt keep up with the counting and you have to be aware of where you're at until the countdown clock shows up.
* The back-up female workout supporters don't always sync up with Tom so you'll see some going in opposite directions than he is.
* I believe there are different viewpoints that when you, the workout person, are moving in one direction, the camera goes to Tom when he is moving in the opposite direction.
* Background props of a Humvee w/ blinking lights are distracting but one can learn to ignore them
I think Tom is personable but tries too hard to be so. If he would focus on the workout and not schmoozing with the ladies, he'd be fine.
The workout hits the biceps, triceps, shoulders, and legs. There is no direct chest or back work aside from a little bit of back row combined with a tricept press. You'll need to work these areas after or between sets. He does offer 3-sets of push-ups for chest/back/tricep work as well as bicycle crunches (I think he goes too fast for one to maintain correct form and increases likelihood that you will strain your next attempting to touch your knees at such a fast pace. Recommend you slow down, keep form and catch up with the workout)
All in all, its a good workout especially if done 3x a week with a goal of minimal weight increase of 1-2% (i.e. 3lb, 5lb, 8lb) No need for high weights for this workout due to the low-weight/hi-rep focus. If done twice (warm-up, workout, power blast, workout, cool down) you'll get at least a 100-min workout and it will be worth it.

Wow, this workout is amazing. It's fun to do and yet 'kills' you at the same time. The instructor, Tom Stroup, is a real life SWAT team commander and he could get results out of anyone I'm sure. He's actually got a great personality and makes this workout fun.
You use light dumbells and do lots of repetition to sculpt your whole body. All the classic moves are included (squats, lateral raises etc) but he does them in different tempos and in different combinations (usually you either work one arm first and then the other, but here you might do your right arm, then left, then work them together). At the end of the workout there is a bonus 10 minute interval training segment.
It's a more unique workout than any other one I've done for a few reasons; he's outgoing, funny and tough all in one, there is a fantastic set and also the change in pace with the movements keep this fresh for me. I enjoy this one and highly recommend it. It may not be for beginners, but almost anyone else can use this and get results. It's great.
