I was initially disappointed that the cardio section was so short on Gay's latest CIA. However, the warm-up is fairly vigorous and it moves right along. Five combos are taught and then strung together once. There is a 46-minute premix that has you do the finished product twice. There's much less breakdown than I'm accustomed to with Gay. But I was able to get most of it on the first try. The sculpting section, in my opinion, is throw-away. You can't possibly work the entire body to any degree in 17 minutes. It was a good effort, but I really would have preferred another combo or two of cardio. I even checked out the circuit premix to see if the sculpting section was well utilized, but you go from aerobics to laying on your back and then back on your feet again - not for me! I do like that I feel like I've had a good cardio workout using the 46-minute cardio premix. The choreo was complex, creative, and intense. Nice to see males in the background too!
