This workout has already been well reviewed and I admittedly don’t have much to add, but wanted to reiterate that this is a pretty high intensity workout (lots of jogging, high knees, and plyometrics) along with some 4-limb and short (4”) step work. Lately it hurts my feet to do so much high intensity work, especially for 55 minutes, and I find this workout to be moderately adaptable to the rebounder. Especially since the instructors do a lot of arm movements with the steps, you can follow along on the rebounder, and do the 4-limb and step work regularly, which makes a great workout that’s not as hard on the joints. I did that this weekend and got an energized, fun workout that didn’t leave me feeling run down.

Also, as Beth mentioned, the DVD is customizable so you can remove sections that you may not like. I think the DVD is high quality and you can pick it up fairly cheap if you get it used (less than $10). I still prefer some other Firm cardio (Fat Blaster, Cardio Killer, and Maximum Cardio are my favorites) which I can do as is (no modifying) without as much pounding on the joints, and which the choreography is a little easier to follow. But Super Cardio Mix is more advanced and is definitely a bigger calorie burner, even while utilizing the rebounder! I also like that the workout has a lot of continuity (it’s not a compilation-except at the very end when they bring in a clip with Jen with obviously different outfits, and Carissa’s stretch). The music is really pretty good but I don’t like it as much as some other BBH-era Firms. I think at this point, the Firm was trying to become a little more mainstream and the music choices reflected that. It is filmed in the mansion set, but the outfits are significantly less dated (no crazy 80’s thong leotards LOL!) As others have mentioned, this really is a must have for big Firm fans, such as myself. Grade A!

Instructor Comments:
I like all of these instructors and have used them in other Firm workouts (most notably, Super Strength with Jen, Carissa, and Jen-and Nancy in place of Allie). Carissa is my favorite because her Maximum Cardio is one of my favorite workouts, but really they are all very good. Allie is refreshingly serious in this one and doesn’t use the baby talk she does in other workouts. For some reason I get a little confused on Jen’s choreography, but on the whole they all cue fairly well.
