This workout has already been broken down in detail, so I will just give my impressions. First, I should say that I consider myself to be a solid intermediate when it comes to weight work. I thought that this workout was pretty good for the upper body, but not so great for the lower body. If memory serves me correctly, all of the lower body moves were either 1) compound moves or 2) floorwork. I usually use heavier weights for my lower vs. upper body, so I didn't really "feel" the compound strength moves in my lower body. I am also not a big fan of floorwork -- I wish she had added one or two sections of standing leg work (that would make the video a keeper, IMO). That said, I absolutely love Althea! I enjoyed the music, and the diversity of the class. I also really appreciated the "insets" with form pointers. I think this would be a great video for intermediates who enjoy floorwork, or for those who don't really need a lot of lower body work.

Instructor Comments:
I really love Althea! She comes across as very warm and personable. She cues well, and does a good job of giving form pointers.
