I was excited to see that Donna had a new video since I thoroughly enjoyed 9701. This workout seems to be a little bit less on the intensity (I.e. it is lower impact than 9701) but not less on the fun. Her choreography was different, many things that she did was new and different from most of the other videos that are on the market. The workout is very customizable, you can turn almost anything into higher impact or lower impact. My few complaints about the video: I agree that the music has much to be desired. I tend to like music that gets me pumped, most of the music just left me wanting a very different sound track (like one from Franny's new video). I also didn't care of the continuous bantering from Donna about how the other two exercisers were virgin CIA'ers. I thought the two in the back were great and very inspiring because they were 'real' people instead of perfect models.

The conditioning portion was intense, and I had never thought of using tubing and weights to get a harder muscle conditioning. After trying that addition out I will never go back to just using a body bar! She concentrated on form and tried to show you what you should and shouldn't do when you are doing the plank exercises. Overall I think the video is a good solid A. The choreography is a A. The music is a D. The intensity and options are a good A-.
