For me this video had a high "what the ****?!?" factor. Some of the moves just seemed nonsensical, like that knee up/abduct combination that was supposed to get your heart rate up. Huh?

The set is way too busy, Jac's cuing isn't very good, the timing is off, the music doesn't go, and I have safety concerns about those one-legged hover squats, ankle squats, and good mornings with the weights on the shoulders. And I'm still not sure about the ball (which I also did not bounce. Plaster ceilings downstairs, enough said.)

Oh, one good thing--they didn't really go up & down as much as I was worried they would--so you don't look like deranged jack-in-the-box with weights. I had big fears about that. I still prefer to keep all the floor stuff (push ups, abs, any leg work) in a distinct section of the tape, but it wasn't too bad.

I don't like the "work one side and then we'll get to the other side in a half hour" business. And since Jac's cuing wasn't so hot, I actually ended up starting on my right for most sets and not realizing it until I was done. (A little reminder would have helped!)

Oh, and could we DO any more military presses? If you don't like militaries, avoid this tape!

I traded this away after doing it once.
