This is a great workout for me. Not perfect, but close. It's tough but fun, the music is good, and it never gets boring. I happen to be one of those who does not mind that it doesn't have a "real" core section. With my lower back problems, I go my own way with core exercises (no crunches or bending of the spine). The music fits the exercises perfectly on this one, and Jari is very relaxed and pleasant, even more so than usual. If you're an advanced exerciser who likes endurance training that gets your heart beating, give this one a try. I have a lot of workout DVDs, but this one is definitely up there in my top 5, and I've been using it for years.
