I don't want to add too much about the format of the tape. I just wanted to add a few thoughts.

One thing I noticed at first is that it isn't the highest production quality I've ever seen. But I've gotten used to it. At first it annoyed me that the music was so quiet, but this has turned out to be a strength because I just put on the music I want to hear. Even with the volume on the TV up, I can't really hear the background music. This works well. Yesterday I did it to the soundtrack from the Full Monty. Very motivating! The cool down music is loud enough, and I like it. And by the way, the cool down is excellent.

I really like this tape. Keli Roberts is so excellent. She's becoming my very favorite instructor. I wish she'd make more tapes because her form pointers are better than anyone's (even Karen Voight). It's an excellent strength tape, on par with the FIRM, except for no cardio breaks. It is *hard*, especially the beginning floor work. I can't do that part yet. I think it will be a while before I can.

You *can* order this tape from Collage. I don't know the reference number, but just ask for it, and they'll ship it to you. I have been doing the tape with weights. I thought I'd like to try the Exerbar. You can order this by contacting Spri Products, Inc. at 1-800-222-7774 or, if you are outside the US, call 847-537-7876). This info is also available on the video box. They cost $19.99 + shipping and handling (My total was $26.70) and are available in light (in yellow - this is what Keli uses) and medium (which is green). The woman on the phone at SPRI said most women would use the light unless they were extremely strong. (I went for the light.) The exerbar seems to be a good bargain, and once you learn all the exercises, you can travel with it.

Overall, this tape gets a B- for production but an A+++++ for content and instruction.
