The previous reviewers have already given excellent breakdowns of this workout, so I'll just add my impressions. This is the third workout I have tried from Angie Miller; I also own her Kettlebell Bootcamp and have recently acquired Bedroom Body. One of the things I like the best about Angie's workouts is that she incorporates core and balance work throughout the ENTIRE workout. She does this with the inclusion of many twisting moves plus lots of balance work on one leg. I also like how Angie includes dynamic stretching in the warm-up and incorporates timed holds into the final stretch.

Equipment used for this workout includes two sets of dumbbells (Angie says she is using 8s & 5s), medium-resistance tubing, and an optional step. Angie has two background exercisers with her, Michelle and Heather (who shows modifications, including working out without a step). The DVD is well-chaptered, so you can easily mix-n-match segments to form your own premixes (e.g., Warm-Up, Dumbbells, Stretch = 51 minutes; Warm-Up, Tubing, Stretch = 26 minutes; Core & Stretch = 23 minutes)

Because the workout IS quite long when done in its entirety (about 68 minutes), I did the Core on one day and the remainder of the workout the next. Each of these portions left me sore for days! I actually liked Angie's core work here better than on her newer Bedroom Body.

Overall, this was a very good strength workout. What makes it more unique is the addition of moves to address core and balance as well as the use of tubing to provide the muscles with a different type of challenge.

Instructor Comments:
Angie does not seem quite as polished here as in her newer workouts. However, I think she still cues well (she does mirror cue) and is very encouraging overall.
