I think it's a compilation of three tapes. The abs sections are traditional ab work mixed with some modified Pilates style moves. There's a good variety of exercises including some unusual ab variations that I haven't seen before. The buns workout has two standing segments (with no weight) and one with floor work. The Leg & Arms workout has three segments combining compound movements with small weights for upper and lower body. Each 10 minute segment has a countdown timer in the corner showing the time left.

It's is definitely one to do when you want a very light or beginner workout. The Buns & Legs segments do require some endurance because they include a lot of variations on squats and lunges. But I would think of these as add-ons or a very light day workout.

The DVD layout is probably the most special thing about the workout. It has all three workouts, chapters for each exercise and a mix & match feature to allow you to design you own combos.

Instructor Comments:
There are three instructors, but strangely enough their names are not listed anywhere on the DVD case but there are short biographies of them on the DVD. One is Minna Lessig and the other two are Nancy Popp and Julie Upton. Julie instructs the Abs with the other two as the class, Nancy instructs the buns workouts and Minna the Leg & Arms. The three seem to have a good rapport
