This one is just plain fun. The 55-minute high/low section is built on fairly common moves, but put together into great routines. Shannon and Allison each take turns teaching the routines. There are 9 different combos. You put together 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc., and never go back and do it all the way from the beginning. That will please those who don't like a lot of repetition. I personally wouldn't have minded if they had put it all together, because it's a lot of fun. It's also extremely well-cued and they teach it very well without "babying" you (i.e., they assume you're an advanced exerciser and familiar with the base moves).

If you're the vocal type, you'll find yourself whooping and hollering a lot on this one. It's that much fun. After the high/low is Pilates-based core training, which is surprisingly tough. It's harder than it looks when you preview it. This part is about 30 minutes.

The only thing I would change is I'd put a stretch after the high/low. They just go right into the core work. But the stretch would be nice if you're not going to do the second part, and also it would just feel good at that point.
