The DVD includes all the the "guaranteed" workouts on it Thighs, Buns, Abs, Upper Body & Stretch. I like the abs, thighs and buns ones (abs are with Tony, thighs & buns are with Debbie). I like them as add on workouts, they are not really stand alone material, IMO. I did not like the upper body or stretch as much those are both with Tony. Abs and thighs are filmed outdoors on a beach. It was sort of a cloudy day so the water looks gray. Too bad it wasn't on a sunny day. The rest were filmed on a gym set. The ones that Tony leads have Debbie and another exerciser at background exercisers. Debbie's have Tony and the third person as backgrounders. One person is usually showing a less hard modification. I think beachbody was probably just coming up with the concept of the screen counter when they made these. It's not as nice as the ones in Slim Series or Slim in 6.

The pros:
The thighs one is all standing work similar to the standing work in Slim Series, standing squats, lunges & kicks. The Buns one is floor work. Tony's not really my cup of tea as an instructor, but I think the exercises in the ab segment are good enough to make up for that. It's a nice tough ab workout.

The cons:
The instruction in the upper body one encourages you to keep tension in your upper body the whole time and that really didn't work for me. I naturally store stress in my neck, shoulders and upper back and this workout just made it worse. I didn't like the stretches they chose in the stretch one. The form instruction wasn't very good and the stretches weren't held long enough to suit me.

Overall: If you really like Debbie (like I do) and want some short add-on workouts, the thighs and buns ones are worth getting. If you like Tony you might like the others, but I think the abs one is worth getting and the other two are not.
