There are two instructors and two other exercisers. The woman on the left (Barb) shows beginner level, the woman on the right (can't remember her name) shows intermediate, and the woman and man in back show advanced level. Barb says, "Yeah Baby" way too much. The first part of the video has music from an old Cathe video.

You start out with a walking warm-up with upper body stretches. You then move into jog/sprint intervals. I didn't like that they didn't tell me how many mph to increase. You just have to find a place that feels like a sprint to you. Next is biceps while walking. The woman on the right states that she is walking about 4.5 mph for the muscle conditioning parts. I felt that was too fast to keep good form, and I have long legs (6' tall). You then do more sprints and hills. Again, they don't tell you what percent incline to go at until they are already there. Then comes shoulders, and more hills, and finally triceps. I think you do one more hill, while walking, but I can't remember. There is also a skipping segment at the end.

There is a short walking cool down, and it's on to dips, pushups, and abs. The dips felt great after the running, and the pushups were tough.

It was a fun workout, but not one I'll do very often. You really don't get that great of a weight workout, and I'd rather spend that time working on my running. But, I LOVE the way cardio/weight workouts feel because my muscles are so warm. I always feel wonderfully worked out afterwards. My heartrate stayed up the whole time, but it wasn't super intense. I'd say probably intermediate level. You can the sprints and hills easier or harder. So it's a keeper for me!
