If you are looking for a circuit video that has a more cardio emphasis, this is the one for you. The first time I did it I was sweating up a storm! Denise keeps up the intensity. The cardio portions are all sports orientated - ski moves, basket ball, skating, kick boxing - but they are easy to learn - I am a sports klutz and could easily learn it. Some of the moves are on the step but you could modify them and do them on the floor. I am an intermediate to advanced exerciser and I really felt it. The strength exercises are really not long enough to do anything but keep the heart rate up but she has some great core ab work and the yoga stretch on the step is different, effective and relaxing.

Sometimes Denise's cueing was off and she seemed to be out of step, but I didn't mind it -it made her seem more like the rest of us. Since the Weight training is not that tough, you could go heavy if you wanted to make it more of a strength workout - I just stayed at 8lb and 5lb to keep it more cardio.

Denise is her usual perky self, but I am a Denise Austin fan. If you are a beginner to intermediate or intermediate to advanced I would recommend it. If you are advanced you probably would be happier with Cathe Freidrich's Circuit Max.

If you are a die hard Denise Austin fan, you will love it. I recommend this tape highly. I currently alternate this with Circuit Max and I am not bored with it yet.

Instructor Comments:
Denise is her usual perky self but appears to really be working just as hard as the rest of us.
