I like this video a lot and it has become a core aerobic workout for me. I don't find it long enough to be a complete workout. Consequently, I usually combine either one or both of the 20 minute segments with another tape.

The first 20 minutes consist of an "add-on" workout--i.e., Kathy shows the moves and you combine them all into a longer workout. It was easy to learn and it's fun. Admittedly, I still haven't mastered a few of the trickier steps but I'm not the most coordinated person. I have trouble doing the hamstring curls-into-side leg lifts-into boxes. I just keep doing the hamstring curls and it works out OK.

The second 20 minutes consist of four mini-routines which--again--are easy to learn and fun. Happily, I can handle all the steps (haha).

There's no warm up on this tape, unfortunately. Also, I find the obvious "hoot-and-holler" taped track annoying. Anyone else notice that they keep saying the same thing over and over ("go Nancy go!" and "two boxes")? It's obviously not LIVE voices saying all that nonsense. Kathy gets annoying flirting with the two men in the video, too.

All that aside, it's a decent workout. Kathy is a good instructor and her cueing is very good.
