This workout is no joke!
The workout starts out with drills, which is very high impact. It is suggested you can insert these drills between segments to increase your calorie burn. Um, no thanks. Anyway, I modify down the first few minutes to warm up (low-jacks instead of full-on jacks etc.) I don't remember the exact times on these but it's roughly 15-20 minutes of squat variations followed by 15-20 minutes of lunge variations. This is definitely an endurance workout that luckily is chaptered so you can do as little or as much as you want. She does some upper body moves holding light weights but I wouldn't call it a total body workout as everything doesn't get worked (e.g. triceps). It has a very high cardio effect and is a big calorie burner for me. This workout is definitely one you can grow with. The last segment is mat work. It starts out with some cardio moves (I am dripping sweat onto my mat by now) then more butt and abs.
When I started out I could not complete all the reps holding weights (would inevitably drop my 2 #ers) and by the lunges end had nothing left for mat work. With repeated use (and this is one of the more frequently used workouts in my 200+ dvd collection) I could complete ALL reps holding weight and ALL exercises. I definitely experienced fitness gains through repeated use.
I like the set and don't mind the voice over (no, it's not Sylwia) though sometimes a few select silly comments will annoy me when I'm really struggling.

Instructor Comments:
This is Sylwia's first offering and you don't really get a sense of her personality in this one. She is a machine for sure and she is very fit and toned.
