I did a very quick run through before doing the workout, so her names for exercises might be a little different from mine! Each move in the circuit is 30 seconds, which is then repeated, and the cardio is the last little blast before moving on to the next circuit.

Instructor Comments:
First, I have to say Caroline has an amazing figure. We both had the same shoes on, but that's about all I have in common with her!

I just did the workout and was pleasantly surprised, I was just drenched at the end. No puke in the bucket feeling, but just a nice workout in general. Like the warm up, I found a lot of the moves to be very dynamic - despite the pace, I could still get deeper into a move and increase my range of motion.

I had a whole range of weights planned out upon previewing the workout, but she moves at a pretty good pace, so after the first circuit I just ended up using 5 lbs for the whole thing! I might try 8 lbs next time and have the 3 lbs handy for arm circles and superman moves. I love the cool down where she actually goes through a good number of stretches and h-o-l-d-s them!

If you like Jackie or Jillian type workouts, this is right up your alley. If you have Jillian issues, I found Caroline's instruction and demeanor much more pleasant (there really is no comparison here, Caroline is just plain nice and encouraging), so this would be a good 30 Day Shred alternative for you. If you like Tracey Mallet's pink and blue workouts, but want something a notch harder and maybe more athletic, this would be a good alternative, too. Love the set!
