Disclaimer: I recieved this DVD for free.

A solid, major muscle group workout that starts with a good warmup using a medicine ball. I liked this.

Overall this is an ejoyable workout. Barry and Shelly use fairly low weights and they are used consitantly throughout. So this definitley has a muscle endurance feel but I think you could take out the pulses if you wanted (your choice) and use heavier weights.

I personally wished that there was music in the background but I got use to the sounds of nature eventually.

I would have also preferred more cardio. I too would not count the cardio in the workout toward my weekly cardio count. I think that the next time I do this, I'll stop the dvd and do 5 minutes of cardio each time. I would have liked if the ab workout would have started immediately following the cicuit workout but that is no biggie. The ab workout is a good one, done on the ball.

I love the nutrition/lifestyle tips that are interspersed throughout. Very innovative IMHO.
