This tape consists of about 25 minutes of floor aerobics and 20 minutes of standing toning with a stretch at the end. I would say that the tape is beginner in some respects and intermediate in others. The aerobics are pretty fun, there is a section with a rear kick in it, and some of the toning moves also use kicking moves. The aerobics are a mix of high and low impact with one-person showing low impact moves. You sort of slide into the cool down by bringing down the impact and intensity of the moves, you could then stop the tape and cool down more if needed.

The toning section is standing using a chair for balance. The moves are a sequence of lunges, kicks and holding you leg in an extended raised position with pulses. I found that these routines where a bit aerobic as well due to the sequencing of moves. Also, during the toning section you work a lot of stabilizers as well. You basically do one three sequences of moves, once on each side. There is a standing stretch at the end that incorporates some yoga-like poses. Overall I find the tape is fun, the music and moves are energetic and Donna Richardson and the back-up exercisers also seem to be having a good time too.

Instructor Comments:
Donna Richardson is having a good time here. She does give good form pointers and the moves in the aerobic routine are both athletic and funky.
