This video is quite pleasant. The set is nice, although the music could be more interesting. This video really strives to make interval circuit training accesible to all levels. Susan is a big proponent of modification to your ability level, and she offers suggestions throughout. Unfortunately, the camera focuses on her face when some of the modifications are shown, so you have to figure out what she's talking about instead of seeing it. Some people don't like Susan's attitude and style. I do find her a bit much at times, but she's put together a reasonable video here. The intervals are well structured and she cues quite well and her form is quite good. I also like the way she stops working out to interact with, motivate and coach her companions. It has a nice hands-on feel. If you like Susan, and want a basic video that incorporates stepping with weight training, this is good choice. More advanced exercisers, and people who don't like Susan won't get much from this video. It is a good circuit interval workout for beginners.

Instructor Comments:
Susan is very motivating and encouraging. She's all about modification and working within your fitness level. She can be in-your-face at times, but I find her motivating, and she seems more restrained in this video. She uses good form, and cues quite. Ideal instructor for beginners- motivation, quality instruction.
