I love that they filmed this outside. It was such a pretty background. I liked that alot.

The workout is really good. Its very much like the WATP vids, but with the WYWS aspect of having 3 exercisers doing 3 different levels. (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced)
There is a difference in this workout, though, that sets it apart from WATP and WYWS. There are 3 short toning/strength segments for the lower body. They go so quickly that you couldn't use heavy weight, and I don't think its meant for that anyway since its mostly a cardio workout.

For those of you who don't know what to do with your FIRM Sculpting Stick, this is the perfect video to use it, IMHO. During the toning/strength segments they show Madeleine using no weight, the Beginner level exerciser using dumbbells, and the Advanced exerciser using a body bar.

I didn't find the volume of the music to be a problem. I didn't think it was too high or too low. I thought it was just fine.

This is a new favorite for me. Its definitely something anyone could add to their collection. I highly recommend it.

I do want to add that there was just one negative. It isn't about the workout itself at all, though. I had the same thought with Kathy Smith's LWTLW2 vid. Robin is in this video as well. She appears way too thin. She looks like she could break in 2 if a strong wind hit her. I found that just a bit distracting.

Instructor Comments:
Madeleine is really likeable and cues very well. If Leslie Sansone gets on your nerves, Madeleine will be a welcome change. (I personally love Leslie, but I know some people think she's too chatty and annoying. I don't think anyone can accuse Madeleine of this.)
