This DVD has upper body, lower body and a bonus abs section that is different from the abs section in the upper body workout.

Joyce goes super-giant sets throughout the workout. The upper body workout starts out with 12 reps at a light weight, then 10 reps at a medium weight. Then down to the floor for a VERY tough ab routine, followed by the third upper body set at 8 reps (or was it 6?) at heavy weight. There is not a lot of chest work in this workout, but all the other body parts got 2 exercises each. She does standard weightlifting moves: bicep curls, Arnold presses, etc. Its a very good, quick endurance upper body workout with a phenomenal abs section.

The lower body section works back as well, alternating legs and back. I wish there was a legs only option. This workout has only 2 sets rather than three. Lots of squats. I don't recall any lunges. If there were, there werent many (which is fine with me! LOL!!)
The lower body workout is not as good as the upper body, imo.

The bonus abs workout is ok, nowhere near as intense as the abs section in the upper body.

All in all, this is a nice workout for a day you are short on time; she really doesn't waste a minute. My heartrate got up there because there were no breaks.

I give this workout a B+
