A fitness DVD set that demanded my attention some time ago is the Fe Fit (pronounced Fay Fit) Workout, also known as the Fe Fit Women’s Workout Program.
When I say demanded my attention, that was literally the case. I was browsing fitness DVDs on Amazon when I came across a set of bright pink discs that stood out.
I stopped scrolling to read some Fe Fit reviews. In doing so, I found that this wasn’t smart marketing for a product with no substance.
According to the overwhelming majority of purchasers who had left feedback, it was an incredibly effective fitness program that lived up to its promise.
I ordered it, and it arrived a few days later. That was several months ago now. I was doing other workouts at the time, so I didn’t start the program until a few weeks ago. That’s enough time to get a feel for it and write this review with my impressions so far.
In this Fe Fit Workout review, we will look at a general overview of the program. We will also look at each workout and my take on them, including the pros and cons.

Fe Fit Overview
The original Fe Fit is a 90-day program. This is the program I am following and reviewing. 
There’s a newer version with options to do a 21 day or a 6-week rotation. If you want faster results, follow the Fe Fit workout program 4 or 5 times a week instead of the standard 3.
Created for moms, by moms, who know how hectic life can be with kids to care for, whichever version you choose to do, the workouts promise to burn fat and shape, tighten and tone your entire body.
The workouts focus on areas that many females consider trouble spots, including our glutes, abs, back, and shoulders.
You will get results doing just 3 x 30-minute workouts per week. For faster results, you can do “Stretch Flow” on one other day and/or walk, run or partake in what they call “active relaxation” on two other days, but this is entirely optional.
With 28 different workouts in the program, every major muscle group is targeted. And, with so much variety, boredom should never be an issue.
The exercises encompass a variety of styles, including Cardio Circuit, Barre, and Stretch Flow. These focus on different body areas, including the core, lower body, and upper body. Some of the workouts target the entire body.
If the workouts aren’t suited to your fitness level, do the suggested modifications to scale down the intensity if you are a beginner, or scale it up if you are an advanced level exerciser.

What Equipment Will I Need?
To get the most from Fe Fit, you will need a resistance band, a Pilates ring, and two light sets of dumbbells – I’m using 3lb and 5lb weights. You will also need a sturdy chair to assist with the barre exercises. A yoga mat is optional, but it will make your workouts more comfortable.
What’s in the Box?
The Fe Fit workout kit includes 8 DVDs containing 28 workouts in total.
There’s also the Fe Fit Quick Start Guide, a Health & Fitness Guide, and a 90 Day Workout Calendar with stickers.
Next, we will look at a brief overview of everything, starting with the so-called Fe Fit Essentials. The length of each workout is in brackets.
Fe Fit Essentials
The basis of the program is known as the Fe Fit Essentials. These consist of the following:
• Total Body Toning (14 minutes) – The total body toning workouts comprise high-intensity strength training that targets every muscle group.
• Lower Body (14 minutes) – The lower body workouts consist of exercises that will tone your 
legs and give you a firm, rounded butt.
• Upper Body (14 minutes) – The upper body workouts will focus on your arms, back, chest and shoulders, promoting a balanced shape and good posture.
• Cardio Circuit (14 minutes) – The cardio circuits focus on vigorous cardio interval moves that melt fat and improve endurance.
• Barre (13 minutes) – Barre consists of exercises that work on specific muscle groups for targeted toning
• Stretch Flow (11 minutes) – Fe Fit’s take on yoga; Stretch Flow will increase your flexibility as it strengthens and tones typical problem areas.
• Core (15 minutes) – Core focuses on building a strong back and flat abs with sexy muscle definition.

Additional Inclusions
Next, we will look at the other Fe Fit inclusions.
-
Fe Fit Quick Start Guide
The Fe Fit Quick Start Guide will quickly get you up to speed with everything you need to know to start the Fe Fit program.
-
90 Day Calendar
The 90 Day Calendar lists the workouts and the days you will be doing them. Included are some small pink circular stickers that will enable you to track your workouts easily. This is done by placing a sticker on the relevant day and week listed upon completion of each session.
* Fe Fit comes with 5 workout calendars. Use the one pertinent to the duration of the workout you choose to do and the number of days a week you work out.
-
Health & User Guide
The Health & User Guide that comes with the Fe Fit Workout provides nutritional tips and advice, information about the Fe Fit program, and the exercises you will be doing while undertaking it. It lists the equipment you will
need, and there’s a bio of the trainer. There’s also a section for noting how many pounds and inches you’ve lost.
You get a three-phase plan containing suggestions for improving your health through better nutrition. This is done by adopting one healthy habit a week for 13 weeks.
The first phase is about your food choices, the second your habits, and the third is centered on wellness. Because the changes are introduced gradually rather than all at once, they are easier to implement.
If you want to take things to the next level, you can do the workouts more frequently.
My Opinion of Fe Fit so Far – the Good and the Bad
I started the Fe Fit program three weeks ago, and so far, my impressions are very positive.
The workouts are hitting the spots I want to tone. They’re challenging enough to let me know they’re working, but they don’t leave me totally spent. In fact, I seem to have more energy after finishing a session than I did before starting it. I’m not left ravenous and reaching for food as soon as I’m done, either.
If you’ve undertaken fitness programs in the past and become bored, I don’t think that will be a problem with this one.
Personally, I find the workouts fun to do, and there is so much variety that sticking to the schedule isn’t a chore. I love that I can get results doing just 3 Fe Fit workouts a week. I also like that the program is more flexible than some others I’ve undertaken.
While some of the moves involve jumping, overall, Fe Fit is lower in impact than many fitness programs I’ve undertaken.
I like that there’s a countdown timer on the screen showing how far the workout has progressed and how much longer there is to go. It also encourages me to put in extra effort towards the end.
I love that the cardio workouts also involve some strength training, including Planks and Push-ups. I’m not, however, so enthusiastic about spending 29 minutes working my core.
The “best of” workouts comprise exercises from the other workouts. While I don’t have a problem with this, these contain less variety than the other workouts.
I like the progress chart. There’s a space to map how much weight and you many inches you lose. The stickers are fun, and they make it easy to track the workouts.
Though generic, I quite like the music. It does tend to be a little on the soft side at times, but that’s fine by me.
The main instructor is lively with a fun personality. While motivating, I think she overdoes the “mommy talk,” which can become slightly annoying. For example, at one point, she says, “We are strong mommies,” “Keep going, mommy,” and the like. Not all of us are moms. Some of us never will be.
Fe Fit Summary
I like variety, so I alternate workouts, and I buy numerous new fitness DVDs every year. Some I like, some I don’t. Fe Fit is definitely in the former category. I can see myself rotating it with my other favorite
workout DVDs, including my much-loved Zumba Incredible Results. (Click the previous link to read a review.)
I think Fe Fit would work well for any woman who wants to improve her body shape, fitness, and health.
If there’s a special mom in your life or just someone you know who wants to tone up, it will make a great gift.
You won’t even have to wrap it. The set comes beautifully presented, with the DVDs slotted into a cardboard book, and everything is tied up with a sheer pink bow. There’s even a welcome note from Fe Fit founders Renee & Melonie.
