This video is fantastic! I can't wait to do it again. I think it's a little harder than Tough Tape, because there are more reps and more sets in general. There's also a better balance of upper and lower body work. I really feel it in my delts, triceps and pecs the next day. The only thing I dislike is the stretch at the end. It's too short and too fast; they could have left it out for all the good it does. The pushups on the tall box and the seated lat rows ARE goofy but easy enough to modify. While "Twenty Questions about Fitness" "does caution you against using plastic bottles as dumbell substitutes, the "Form Pointers" I received last year contained a retraction. Basically, it said the Firm had changed their stance on the subject due to "advances in plastic manufacturing technology" although they don't specify what exactly they mean by that. Anyway, their inclusion in the video leads to humorous continuity errors. In some shots you see Carissa or Nancy holding plastic jugs but the reflection in the mirror shows them using a barbell. This tape is definitely worth buying especially if you get it with its companion, Super Cardio (another excellent tape).

Instructor Comments:
All of them do a credible job.
