OK but not as intense as I expected - we'll see if it gets better
I was excited to do this workout given the other great reviews here. Going into it fully expecting to love it, I was a bit disappointed that it was not more intense. <
> <
>I like the idea of the "circuit training" aspect, but unfortunately there was too much time in between each piece, and I felt that my heartrate dropped back to normal after each section. I thought the whole point of circuit training was to keep your heartrate up the entire time while moving continuously with very little pause between one exercise and the next? This DVD had too much time in between for the "graphics" showing what was coming up in the next section (assuming this is because the DVD is intended to be viewable as a complete 49 minute workout session or as individual sessions targeted for each body area if you have less time). <

>The workout runs as follows: Each body part is targeted in its own circuit - Six complete circuits - and each one has three minutes of cardio, two minutes of toning and one minute of corework (abs). The toning sections are each individually targeted: legs, chest, butt, back, arms and shoulders. Sounds good, right? In theory! <

>On a positive note, I DID find that this 49 minute workout seemed to go very quickly - not sure if that was because of how the format was much less repetitive than most workouts (each section is different, with different music and exercises), or whether it felt quick because it just wasn't vigorous enough to make me feel like I had done anything too difficult or strenuous by the time it was over. <

>I am NOT really at an advanced or intermediate level as far as working out goes, and I am definitely used to more sweating and moving than I got from this workout. I'm going to give it a few more run-throughs (a week or so, once a day) to see if I end up liking it better. (Everyone else who reviewed it here seemed to, so I am thinking I'm missing something and will glady give it another chance!) We'll also see if it passes the true test and produces results: weight loss and increased fitness level. <

>I'll report back after a bit more of a trial period. Stay tuned....

This is such a fun workout. At first I didn't like it because the format is different that many other workouts I have, but after doing it a few times it's become one of my favorite programs to use on days when I have more time. What's nice about it, too, is you can only do 4 of the circuits if you don't have time for the full program. There's a lot of energy in the ladies leading it and there are variations for those who can't do high impact, straight leg pushups or don't want to do all of the circuits, for example. If you are a moderate level exerciser, this is a good program. It's not intense, but makes you feel you worked out when you're done.
