I'm still at the Beginners stage, and I find this to be a tough workout when I do all three sections. It really is a complete workout.

The opening warm-up followed by upper body toning is basic and good for a Beginner. The correct form is taught, and I think it's a good workout to learn basic toning techniques when you're just starting out with exercising. I doubt that it would hold an experienced Beginner or Intermediate user's interest though.

I think the aerobics section is a fun, low/high impact, dance-based routine. I like the variety of musical styles and that few of the steps are repeated from one musical selection to the next. The changing instructors help keep me interested. I just wish I didn't have a bad knee and could do the higher impact version of the steps. They look a lot more fun than the low impact. Unlike the upper body toning section, I think this could be used by those at the Intermediate level.

The lower body toning was hard for me as a Beginner despite other comments that it's good for Beginners. Having a bad knee may be influencing that judgment, though. I find it to be a good, tough workout, and I'm seeing results from it.

Instructor Comments:
I like Jane's instruction. Laurel can be a bit flighty, but still keeps me motivated. However, I could do without Jeanie's negative remarks. There are mistakes made in cueing this routine, but they can easily be overlooked after doing the video a few times.
