The workout itself is a bit too short for an intermediate exerciser as myself but it's a fun tape to do. The warm up is very quick (which I like since I'd rather get straight to the workout), only about 4-5 minutes. The aerobic portion is roughly 20 minutes which you can perform low impact as Petra does or at a high impact following the two individuals in the background.

The combos and patterns are easy to perform and flow together very well. I enjoy the music very much but if you don't have a stereo hooked up to your VCR you probably won't enjoy it as much. As for the videos playing in the background on the big screen, I don't pay too much attention to that since I am concentrating too much on making the workout intense enough to break a good sweat.

There is one portion where they make a mistake but if you have performed the tape just a few times, you can overlook that portion and correct it yourself. Being that this is a short tape, many people may not get the workout that they are looking for. But it can be combined with another tape to make a longer workout. For example after I am done with this workout I might put in Kathy Smith's Timesaver Cardio Fat Burner tape and perform those two-20 minute sections for a great 60-minute workout. That's if you have other tapes to workout too. I personally enjoy this tape and believe that others would too.

Instructor Comments:
I really enjoy working out with Petra. This is the first tape that I have with Petra as the instructor and enjoy very much working out with her. She has a very personable style and always has a smile on and cheerful attitude. I agree with the other reviews as to the other two participants in the video. They definately do not have the same style as Petra but I don't let them influence my workout attitude.
