Even though this video is from 2000, it is new for me now in 2001. This is the first video I have done of Mindy's. All I can say is that this woman has found her calling in life. She exudes her own joy and excitement about every physical movement, whether it be challenging anaerobic intervals, strength work or stretching. You can feel her love for fitness and exercise. I felt like she was in the room with me, and we were having a great time together.

I am currently at the low end of advanced, and find this workout challenging. It's funny at the end of the warm-up when Mindy says it's time for the cardio section and then says, "you thought that was the cardio section," because that is just what I was thinking.

I wanted to use this tape to condition me for tennis and improve my fast footwork, agility and ability to work anaerobically. This is definitely the workout for that. I believe that over time, this tape will help tremendously to take the lead out of the feet. It is great for sports conditioning.

I liked the last section which is strength training. I used all the props; the ball, the tubing and the BodyBar. What I really like is that all the muscles are worked to fatigue in a short time, using a variety of exercises, and not a lot of weight. I started each exercise with a weight that was relatively light, and at first thought that it was too light, but by the end, the muscles were totally fatigued.

My only criticism is that there is no stretching till the very end, and I would have liked to take a brief moment to stretch out the fatigued muscles. Her stretch routine at the end is not special, but she is so enthusiastic about the sensation of stretching that I couldn't help but enjoy it.

After doing this tape, I want to buy more of Mindy's tapes. She is a superstar instructor who can get you to give your all (and then some) and have a great time as the sweat is flying. There is a good amount of plyometrics. I highly recommend the tape to high intermediate to advanced exercisers.
