This 60 minute workout is intended for exercisers that are very familiar, comfortable, and perhaps even bored with their home treadmill. Not your typical treadmill workout, this video combines walking, powerwalking, jogging, sprinting, hill climbs and even weights all on the treadmill. It's led by two instructors who split the responsibilities of cardio and weights.
The total equates to approximately 3 miles total (depending on how fast you go). The weights must be light due to the moving belt and need for balance. Therefore, the effectiveness of the weights for strength is questionable. It does however increase the intensity of the workout and provide variety to reduce monotony. The downside is that the instructors are not always clear on what they are increasing- the speed or the incline, they mistakenly cue the inclines as"50%" and "75%" which most likely equate to a 5% or 7.5 % incline since most treadmills only incline to 15% max. Also, the audio is sometimes cloudy and hard to hear. Some of the weight exercises push the limits of reasonability and safety. The forward punches seem out of rhythm with the body mechanics necessary for treadmill power walking. The tricep kickback is barely effective due to the lack of resistance against gravity, and there is no place for home users to put their weights down, so they may have to stop to do so.
In general, this is an "ok" workout for an occasional change of pace. It's not for the beginner because of the need for high kinesthetic awareness, but it's not tremendously advanced either. Certainly, it's not as effective as straight running followed by a tough weight taining segment. It is good for an hour of exercise that focuses a little bit on everything including lunges, push-ups,abdominals, and adequate stretching.
