I really liked this workout. I would say it is in the beginner/intermediate range, depending on if you use hand grips and how high impact you choose to go.

Actually for me I usually see more results if I go higher impact, so I did not mind the extra jumping jacks, et cet. The drills on the step could get a bit tedious, but I'm sure my heartrate was up there.

Complaints: The quality of sound was poor, as it also was in South Beach Slam. I have the video, not the DVD; if I replace this with a DVD version, maybe this would help. The background people were having a hard time keeping up with Janis. I could barely hear the music.

Despite the above, I suspect I will be using this video a lot in the future. I think that this video has the same kind of intensity as Hardcore Kickbox Circuit, except that it is all cardio without the weights. It is definitely more intense that QuickFix Total Kickboxing with cardio. The TIFTTing and complex choreography don't bother me; usually, I can keep up well enough with that sort of thing where my workout doesn't suffer. Despite its imperfections, right now it is a keeper for me.

Instructor Comments:
Janis is in her element in this video. Her cueing improves with later videos but I thought she was fairly clear in this one.
