This tape was made both as an instructional tape, plus a workout(but just a little different than you're used to). The first part of the tape is instructions on selecting ropes(how long, what kind, different styles), selcting clothing(not too bulky,baggy...etc.), warm up, water etc. Then you get to the WO/teaching sections. Each section is divided, learning a different move in each. The move is shown by a "model" with Michael giving verbal description on what to & not to do. This is only about 15-20 sec long, so it's not much of a break from one to the next and makes it like a ssmall "recovery" through out the workout. The music is low in the background(you mostly hear the ropes moving) and Michael's mic does not pick up his voice during the actual WO. The moves get progressively harder through the tape and there's even a demonstration of some tough abs at the end.

Instructor Comments:
Michael certainly enjoys jumping rope and has good pointers & helpful instructions, but he mumbles throughout the entire workout.
