I can't remember the breakdown on this but I remember really enjoying it. Not sure how to categorize it either since it wasn't really cardio but not all toning either! Most was done standing with pilates moves done upright. It needs some sp ace for side to side and a lot of leg movements. I used 3 lb dumbbells for the arm movements and found my arms got a decent toning workout just from holding the weights (I"m beginner esp in toning department!). I"m not sure someone advanced would feel anything and if you don't focus on the moves and control them you wont' feel much either. this workout could be made extrememly easy I think but I tried to focus on the moves and I got a good workout. at the end is matwork that was fun but challenging. seems like the overall length was around 45 min. I'd like to do this one more but time constraints hinder this so I'll do it whenever I can since I enjoy it.

Instructor Comments:
I love Ellen! She's so down to earth and 'fresh'. Great body too but although they have her showing a lot of flesh she doesn't seem to 'show it off' if you know what I mean.
