This DVD has a total of nine routines on it that you can combine in different ways. They include three routines for the abs, three for the buns, and three for the arms and legs. I haven’t done the abs workouts because I prefer Pilates and doing crunches on my stability ball to traditional crunch routines on the floor. However, I have used this DVD a lot for the buns routines and those for the arms and legs.

Nancy Popp leads the routines for the buns areas and I think she does an excellent job. One routine is a standing routine done with a chair for balance. One routine is a standing routine done with no props. And, the third is a floor routine. I’ve mainly done the standing routines because I don’t floor work all that much. I do it once in awhile when I’m in the mood to work those muscles differently.

Minna Lessig leads the routines for arms and legs. One is for arms only. One is for legs only. And the third involves compound moves for both arms and legs together. I prefer the two routines for the arms and legs alone because they seem more effective. However, the segment with the compound moves has been great on days I am in a BIG rush.

The set is nice and the three instructors seem to interact well enough. I really like the countdown timer because it has motivated me to stay with a routine when I’m tired or just not in the move. You can do anything for a few more minutes.

Instructor Comments:
They all cue well and are descriptive about the moves they want you to do.
