The first time I did this video, I wasn't that happy. I didn't like the medicine ball moves and thought it moved too slowly.

Now for the review after I did it a 2nd time:
There's a warmup, but no stretch. You start your intervals, and after a segment, you do some leg work like lunges or squats of the bench, then do more cardio. It all moves fast enough that you're HR is up. Sometimes I had to pause the VCR to rest.

You do some moves with a medicine ball but I really didn't use it for all of them. It was just awkward at times.

There's a short hi/lo section which is a nice ending. The cardio/intervals/hilo comes in around 50 mins, so it's a good workout. You do a plank move, a few pushups and a little abwork. Not much though- you work your legs more than anything in this tape. The stretch was not good at all- very short.

Overall, I like this tape a lot. If you like Mindy, try it. I wish it had more stretching though!

Instructor Comments:
I like Mindy- she's natural, fun and motivating. She's not reading a script; she's being herself, just joking around which makes it more fun.
