This video is set to the same beats per minute as the two mile high calorie burn so at first I was puzzled as to why it seemed so much more challenging. After a few more run thru's, I realized it's because it has less walking (or marching) and more, longer periods of knee lifts, kicks and kick backs. So, first I mastered the two mile and then I moved on to this video. I still don't always use the weights, just my personal preference. I am obese so this video easily gets and keeps me in my THR without making me gasp for breath and I am able to finish the entire tape, keep up the whole time and feel really good at the end. For someone in really great shape, I wonder if the intensity is sufficient, but I think this is an excellent video for the beginner/intermediate exerciser. As usual, the steps are basic and fun and only one cueing error throughout.

Instructor Comments:
As always Leslie is bubbly and relaxed and is consistent with her encouragement to both keep up and yet modify to meet your personal needs at the same time.
