Ok I got this one last night and did it this morning. WHAT A WORKOUT! The choreo is simple but because each segment is only one minute long you never get bored. You have the option of a 10 or 45 workout and there is a 2, 5, or 10 minute cooldown option. During the workout she tells you the 25, 30, 35, & 40 minute mark, so you could easily stop at any time. There are:

*step segments -which were always low impact-high intensity, even following the advanced modifier
*jump rope variations
*light weight work-high rep, low weight. She says max 3# for women, 6# for men. I would agree that 3# is probably enough because some of the moves go very quickly. The toning segments are more like a cardio break-while keeping your heart rate up. I won't be sore tomorrow.
*some hi-lo moves on the ground, such as side to side shuffle, tire run, etc.

I thought some of the moves were unique while still being very basic choreo, which is a definate plus in my book. Most of the moves had a very athletic feel.

I did the 45 minute cardio, my own cooldown/stretch (10 min) and a seperate ab routine (10 min). I followed the advanced modifier the whole time. According to my HR monitor I burned a 607 calories in 65 minutes. I typically consider 500+ a GREAT workout in 65 minutes so I am super happy w/ this workout. For working that hard I didnt feel like I was going to die like I sometimes do after an intense workout. It may be because many of the moves are low impact. I give this workout an A.
