This is my first encounter with this Australian instructor who now, according to the DVD cover, resides in Europe. This is a Body Pump type workout, without the really good music. 10 tracks working 1 body part per track, plus a warm-up & cool-down. However, you do legs twice....warm-up, chest, back, squats, shoulders, biceps, lunges, triceps, abs, & cool-down. My kinda workout. I did this about an hour ago and all my body parts are 'talkin' right now. Well, *almost* all of them. I don't think the ab section was adequate.

Nothing new here in the way of exercises...Except the last ab exercise was different and pretty tough, even though that whole section seemed cut short. The music here is similar to Beachbody's Slim Series music. According to the cover, you get a CD with this workout with the intended (good) music only if you are in Europe. Still, I knew this before I ordered, so it's not a problem for me. If music is important for you, however, you probably would be disappointed. I love straight strength workouts (Esp. Body Pump types.) and I'm constantly looking for new ones. This fits the bill for me. 45 min. and you're done. That said, with the lack of good music and the plain set, it's not one I'd be happy doing twice in a week or so. It's more like a once-a-monther for me. It'll fit nicely with my routine. Definitely, a keeper, but like I've said, no bells and whistles, so some might not enjoy it.

Rebecca's husband Steve is working out with her. I enjoyed the banter between them. It's obvious that they like each other. Cute couple.

Instructor Comments:
Rebecca has a lovely Australian accent. She's a good instructor with great form and form pointers and just right amount of personality, IMO.
