In the past year, I have gotten into circuit workouts - a type of workout I just didn't see the use for before because I alternated cardio days and strength days. So now, I am going back and trying some older circuit workouts to find some forgotten or never-tried gems. This DVD was one of those DVDs.

I did the workout and enjoyed it somewhat. It is a very well done workout technically. Karen's cueing is stellar, as usual. Her form pointers are useful and (for me) needed at times. She is serious, but not grim. And, there is another exerciser who does some modifications (harder) in a few places.

There are several segments alternating basic cardio moves with strength moves. My heartrate was elevated throughout the workout, but it wasn't intense.

As I said, I enjoyed this workout somewhat while I was doing it, but at the end of the workout I was unenthused about doing it again. I kept it for about a week and then decided that I would probably neve do it again, so I posted it on swapadvd.com (where I got it from to begin with).

Instructor Comments:
Karen is one of the best instructors in the business. Her cueing and form pointers are so good. Yet, I find that although I admire her workouts, I don't really enjoy doing them.
