Hi everyone! Before you get this tape, read this....Personally, I was surprised, it was not what I expected: but You may like it.

Intro: Before the tape begins Jay does a one on one with the camera telling his professional background...

Warm up: there is none.

The tape is composed of 3 parts each a little less than 20 min. they can be done together (you are superman or superwoman if you can!!!!) or done on separate days..

Equipment: You can and probably "should" use a Step, the full size type step, if you want your workout to be more effective. He also uses a chair for the Abwork.

His Form: His squats are Ok, his lunges are soooo extended that the back leg is almost straight! (seems too wide a stance to me) but then he is very strong.

Part 1: He does all these exercises one on one talking to the camera, explaining form as he goes.

1st combo: Ontop of the step he opens legs wide accross the length of the step and does a open legged squat, then does a closed legged squat (works different muscles). 8 reps of each.
2nd combo: then goes on to open legged squat comes back to Dip one leg back to the floor down to a lunge position. 4 reps each.
3rd combo: 2 squats 1 lunge 4x
4th combo: feet together calf raises 8x

He comes back to starting and does all 4 combos on other side, using other leg.

6min point: ABS
A girl comes in and lays down on step. he squats behind her speaking to the camera explaining the moves.
1st move: she begins with a set of crunches holding at the up position.
2nd move: then, with one leg raised - crunches 8x
3rd move: oblique twist 8x

then repeats all 3 moves on other side.

Both do Stretches.

Part 2: again one on one, he explains moves as he does the moves.

1st combo: with a chair behind him: open leg squats then closed legged squats 8x
2nd combo: squat then lunge 8x
3rd combo: static lunges, quick wide squats 8x

repeat 1st, 2nd and 3rd combos with other leg.

ABS: girl comes in lays down with foot on chair, legs at 90 degree angle. he is behind explaining.
1st move: static crunches
2nd move: lower leg slowly to chair, crunching
3rd move: while holding leg just above chair, raise opposite arme above head..

repeat 1st 2nd and 3rd move on other side.

Both do Stretches.

Part 3: one on one, he works out while explaining.
Using the step, he tells you holding dumbbell in opposite hand is optional.
1st combo: Lunges with one foot on step. holding a bar or dowel.
2nd combo: Lunge then rear leg lift.
3rd combo: Legs wide apart, side lunge then wide squat.

ABS: girl comes in to do Abwork while Jay explains.
1st move: Elevator crunches
2nd move: Static holding torso and legs up in V position.
3rd move: 8 crunches extend one arm in up position.
4th move: 8x other arm
5th move: both arms.

Instructor Comments:
Jay is good at what he does, and he is clear in his instructions. It is not the most visually appealing tape. my favorite part was the abwork because it was tough.
