I love this tape and do it every other week (I do intervals once a week and alternate with Interval Max).

It basically consists of ten 1 minute intervals of tough moves that should take you to the limit of your abilities. Then you recover a little (always seems very short to me :))then you go into a base move and repeat.

The moves are basic but you are challenged! If you are not challenged than either you are not working hard enough or you are a true amazon and I am not worthy *smiles*!

The set and the music are quasi-industrial but, to be honest, I'm working too hard to really pay much attention to it. Though the music is not my all time favorite, it does seem to fit this workout well, so I don't think it will drive anyone crazy, IMO.

I like the length of this tape, too. You work hard in the 30 minute interval section and with warm up and cool down it is all over in 45 minutes. But, don't be fooled! You get a lot of bang for your workout time! In fact, this workout seems to go faster than the time it takes, a sign of a great workout, IMO.

I also like the hard, harder, and hardest variations that Gin demos to give you modifications. I'm still working on the "hardest" versions even after 6 months of this workout. Especially the one where Gin does a jump in the air and crosses her legs back and forth while still in the air, sort of like a demented ballerina! I don't think I will ever be able to do that! And let's not forget the over the step ski jump! Or, rather, I try to forget this one, 'cause it is tough and another I must work up to. I can do it a few times and then I have to join Pierre by pretending to jump over the board to finish the interval. Of course, Gin just keeps on going!

I also think that this type of training will help you reach a better level of cardiovascular fitness. I have noticed a definate improvement when I rollerblade, run or do other aerobic tapes.

And, I got this at Target for $9.99, so what a bargain!

Instructor Comments:
Gin is great on this video. She provides a blend of humor and encouragement that I love. She also can do some awe inspiring moves (like jumping over the step a zillion times!). .
