This is an awesome one on one style training with one of the greatest instructors out there. I was so impressed the first time watching it and now that I just finished doing the workout, it is even better.

All sorts of great toning excercises for the whole body. She uses a unique excercise bar that has rubber tubing on it for all the excercises but is constantly telling you how you can do the excercises with heavy dumbells. I did a lot of the leg work with a heavy 37lb barbell and upper body work with 12lb dumbells and 15lb for the lat rows.

You must use the heaviest weights that your body can handle because she doesn't do very many reps. For the lower body she starts off with squats, squat pulses then goes into stationary dips with a leg sweep to the back and a very slow dip with a leg drag which I found to be perfect to do on my Tall Box ( Firm). She then does a stiff leg dead lift in combined with a excercise for the back. Super! For upper body, She does all the great ones. Upright rows combined with a reverse grip bicep curl. Then regular biceps, lat rows, delt raises, and tricep kickback and another unique tricep excercise pushing your arm backwards with dumbells to work the tricep muscle. WHEW! I may be forgetting some other ones but I was dripping with sweat at this point! So was Keli! Then you go to the floor and do some similiar excercises in her Abs and more video. A lot of work for the back. She also does pushups and a unique pushup where you stablelize yourself on your elbows and then go into a pushup on your elbows but only dropping your knees and then go back on your toes. Killer! I was dying! Keli was dripping with sweat at this point! Then you go on your back for some ab stabalization moves. I think the ab work could have been more but since she has her great Abs and More tape, I wasn't too upset. You can always do some of that tape for more ab work. The cool down is the icing on the cake. Excellent laying on the floor stretches ( mostly on your back) and then you flip over and do wonderful unique stretches for your lats and shoulders. The music during the cool down is wonderfull piano/ synthesizer music. I can't stop raving about this tape! One drawback is that some of the music during the workout is the same ol' Step Max soundtrack but the volume is so low that you can hardly hear it. I like the fact that the music is not drowning out the superb instructing.

The set is like the CIA sets with a hardwood floor. I barked about the $24.95 price but now that I have done this workout, it was worth every penny. I'm sure it costs alot more to have Keli as a personal trainer for an hour! I think this price is worth having her come to my house and be sweating away with her. This wokout is a must and you can order it from IDEA. By the way, there service was great! I ordered the video and got it right away!

Excellent cueing and form as usual with this dynamic instructor. Perfectly fit body and Australian or New Zealand accent really make it fun with this instructor. She also gives pointers on how to make the exercises easier for the more beginner. She is working just as hard as you, REAL SWEAT!!
