I had been curious about this video for awhile, and I decided to get it from the exchange (thanks, Renae). I have done several other Method workouts, and have been lukewarm about them. I didn't expect to like this tape much, either, but I do! It is very dancy, especially once the arm movements are added). It feels like you are in a dance class. I would call the choreography moderate to complex, and the intensity intermediate. As far as the leg toning intervals go--they were very short, and my heartrate didn't drop much during them. I also found that in order to feel the muscle working during them, I had to really concentrate on contracting the muscle. I really liked the ab work, too. It is a cross between the other Method tapes' abwork and conventional ab work. I liked the part where you assume a plank position leaning on your elbows and hold it for 30 seconds (sometimes raising one leg at a time). Tough! I can see using this tape for the ab work alone. The yoga-type stretches at the end were nice, too. I got this tape for a change of pace, and it suits that purpose. The music is different, too--drums with a Latin/tribal feel. I would recommend this tape to intermediates who like dancy step workouts, and to advanced exercisers who want a change of pace for a light day.

Instructor Comments:
Lisa Wheeler's cuing is good, but there are a few times that she says, "basic step right" but SHE is on her right foot (not mirroring you). Other than that, I found that she was easy to understand. When I previewed this tape, I felt that she was almost shouting the cues, but I didn't notice that when I was doing the workout. She is very graceful and has a dancer's body.
