I've only done this tape once, but I thought it was a nice change from the Firm and Cathe (I haven't done a Cory Everson weight tape yet). Lots of different exercises than this Firmie is used to. I didn't feel completely and totally drained like after a Firm/Cathe tape, but I really liked the fact that she used the same weight for all the exercises - that was a nice change. I modified just about all the abs/back exercises to the easier versions shown (I have a back problem), but feel I might actually be able to work up to them without wrenching my back in the process ( I seem to have a problem with just about ALL of the Firm's ab work).

I also modified two of the lower body exercises (dead lifts and seesaw lunges) because of my back and will do tall box lifts and plie squats next time. There are enough things that I like about this tape to override its shortcomings (as mentioned in other reviews: no warmup, few stretches, demonstrates bad form a couple of times)

Instructor Comments:
Lots of form pointers (even though she quite obviously ignores a couple of them). The workout is well organized and the time goes quickly. She is encouraging and cheerful, sweats with you all the way.
