I used to have this video when I was in the beg/int level and was one of the first that got me working out. For the beg/int level, it was harder than the others; feels more like a low intermediate IMO.

When I had accumulated too many videos, I let this one go and later missed it. A fellow VFr at the time, one of the rare guys, said I could have his because I missed that workout (if you're reading --thank you again out there!) I didn't do it right away however. Today, I put in the tape & discovered that all the songs that made the workout fun have been removed and dubbed over with muzak! I missed the songs:

"She works Hard for the Money", "Everlasting Love", and "It's Raining Men"

Doing the workout without them made it more of a chore for me. I see why some might not like the tape, if they can't experience it from the original format. I'm going to shop around for an older one and hope I can find it.

The aerobic portion of the workout covered shoulder presses with footwork, then biceps with lunges, squats with chest & back squeezes, then front shoulder raises and while doing footwork, then triceps without footwork to move onto the standing leg work, then floorwork after that. The buttocks work on the floor and abs is pretty good for the fitness level. I just hope I can find the old version of it!

Instructor Comments:
I like her Hit the Spot series because they are filmed outside, on the beach & not many other instructors opt for that.
