This video has already been broken down, so I'll just give my overall opinion. This is my first CIA video, and when we started jumping rope and doing push-ups during the warm-up, I got scared! But I made it through the entire tape the first time, and even felt good enough to do it again the next day. That was a mistake, I was so sore! I usually do The Firm, which are 45-60 minutes long, so I would either get bored or too tired to do the entire 93 minutes, but I was wrong. Time literally flies when I'm doing this workout. The last section, "cardio sculpt" is the toughest, I found the squats unnecessary! Actually, they're not, but by this time I'm a bit winded, and I can really feel the squats! So I'm just whining. Overall, I think this is an excellent video. Definitely worth trying for anyone who wants a kick-*$! cardio workout.

Instructor Comments:
Within the first half hour, you know that Janis likes the word "awesome!" But aside from that, she's wonderful! She's smiling throughout the whole video, and although she makes a few mistakes, I don't look at it as a flaw--I mean, how many mistakes did I make?! This is one of the only non-Firm video instructors that didn't get on my nerves, which is saying a lot
