Good instructor, but sometimes she acts like she's doing a Playboy video. Form and cueing are outstanding. My favorite part of this workout is the high-impact aerobics. There's jogging, jacks, scissors, and jumps. The aerobics are mixed with toning segments using dumbbells.

You get a great total-body workout, and it's fun to do. There are a couple of things I don't like about it, though: #1 - Not enough time to put on your ankle weights, and #2 - After the abs, while you're still lying on the floor, she tells you to grab your weights for pectoral flies. My weights are never handy, because I'm not expecting it. (You'd think I'd get used to it by now!)

The class uses dumbbells for the floor leg work. I use ankle weights instead, and I think that's better. The dumbbell is a little awkward for me.

This is one of my favorite FIRM tapes. I give it an A.
