Warmup: approximately 15 minutes. Free flowing swings and twists begin to warmup the entire body. The warmup has a cardio effect as well. Side lunges move into forward lunges that move back and forth. All the moves in this segment are unique. Various methods of training, such as pilates and yoga, are used to stretch and prepare the body for the more advanced cardio moves.

Cardio: approximately 17 minutes. 3 levels of difficulty are always shown. Stacey will begin with level 1, then proceed to level 2 and then kick it up a notch at level 3. (this is a great way to monitor your progress with this workout) This segment demonstrates how function meets strength!! Stacey begins with a functional lunge move that really begins to bring the heart rate up. Yoga, balance training, plyometrics and calisthenics are used throughout. This segment was fun and challenging. Stacey runs through an entire sequence on one side before repeating it to the other side. (prepare for delayed onset muscle soreness the next day in the thighs as Stacey includes lots of lunge variations)

Cooldown/Stretch: approximately 10 minutes. Great stretches to good music slows you down and prepares you for the core segment. Great hip openers in this segment!

Core: approximately 25 minutes of tough core training. Balance work, planks, traditional and non tradional ab work trains the entire core/mid section. This segment is deceivingly tough.

This is a well produced workout that is done entirely in bare feet. The dvd is chaptered so you can easily go to any segment of your choosing. I found the workout to be fun and challenging in a new and unique way. I've never done "barefoot" training but enjoyed it. I hope Stacey puts out more workouts. I really enjoyed her personality and teaching style.

Instructor Comments:
Stacey has a pleasant personality and has a warm stage presence.
