Jillian works out in a gym set with a group of toned background exercisers. Each dvd is in one folder as pictured above. You will dumbbells and tubing for some of the exercises. Each workout is in Jillians famous circuit format with each exercise being performed for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then repeating the circuits. Each workout contains a built in warm-up and cool-down.

Workout 8 Back Body: (34min) Exercises include static squat & row, bridge & overhead pull-down, cable upright row, dead-lift & hammer curls, butt kick & bi curls, lunge dip combo with reverse bi curls, weighted jump rope, crescent pose & rear delt fly, balance stick hold, rock star jumps, static good mornings, side to cross over lunge, tubing bike, and suicide line touches.

Phase 2 are solid intermediate workouts, that you can easily amp up a bit by using heavier poundage than Jillian does . Workouts 5, 6 and cardio are less intense than 7 & 8 . Jillian wastes little time and gets right to work. Jillian offers modifications up & down for some exercises. Workouts 5-8 include some cardio intervals to keep the heart rate up. These are athletic style workouts that easy to follow. I received these dvds to review.
