I liked this workout right from the start but decided to reserve my opinion until I had given it more time. I love it now. I can say this is a Firm cardio that puts me at my 70-80% zone for at least 30 minutes of the workout if not more. I have worked out with the Firm for about 10 years and have never had injury problems, so that is not a concern for me with this video. It does have quite a bit high impact which might be a negative for some, but it is something I enjoy. I use this video on my cardio/light wt workout days. I like the long segment of tall box presses and also the addition of curtsey dips (although they are called something else I think). I have always liked the four limb sections and this one has a delt segment that I get a burn on, if I use 8 lbs, which is max for me on delts. I also like the ab workout, it has some different oblique moves that I love. The tape covers triceps pretty well, with pushups, kickbacks and french presses. It takes a lot to get my biceps and this tape doesn't do much for them except kick up the cardio on some low impact segments. One thing that stands out for me on this video is the music. It reminds me of the sweeping orchestral soundtracks on westerns from the sixties! I find it keeps me moving from beginning to the final stretch. So overall I would have to say that I bought this tape at Walmart for $12.99 and I am extremely satisfied and pleased with it! It's a lot of fun and I'm dripping with sweat at the end. It doesn't get much better than that!

Instructor Comments:
This was my first experience with Tamela and in the beginning she annoyed me. There was something about the way she tilted her head that got on my nerves! But now after doing the tape 6 or 7 times I have to say I really like her. Her cuing is great and she isn't abnormally scrawny or muscley, so I think she is motivating to look at. Her voice is easy to listen to and the workout is so challenging that her little quirks don't get to me. I also prefer the one instructor Firms like this one.
