This is my first review so, I hope all goes well as my first review. The video is Joyce's NonStop 100% Weight Training Aerobic Routine. (Oh boy is it REALLY non stop!!!) The video starts off with upper body & calves on day 1 (excluding back). Day 2 is Lower body and back. It's all on one video. I would have to say the speed is about the same as Weight Training Made Easier for those of you who have it. Joyce starts off with stretches and no warm up. She begins with a back and spine stretch, bicep and tricep stretch, side bend, torso twist, and runner's stretch for ankles and quads. Joyce is doing a Super Duper Giant Set. (not as scary as it sounds). You'll need 3 sets of weights so you can pyramid them up as the reps go down. It's the usual 12-10-8 rep but with a new twist. Here is the order of exercises she does with the first set of light weights for 12 reps:

Upper Body & Calves
double arm biceps curl
tricep kickbacks
overhead shoulder move with both arms (I forgot the name of the move but you can sub and do a military press if it's uncomfortable)
pee wee lateral
bent laterals (for shoulders)
one arm overhead french press
concentration curls
alternating dumbbell curls
hammer curls
push-ups
alternating military press
side laterals
front raises
bench press
pec flies
lying french press (tricep)
cross face kick back (tricep)
close tricep bench press
calf work with toes pointing forward, out then in. This is done in a sitting position with weights on the knees.

This is the whole routine for upper and calf. After this first set, Joyce goes through the same moves again but with the middle weights and 10 reps. The last set is 8 reps and heaviest weights. There is no rest in between each exercise. The only break you'll get is to pick up the next weight or change exercises. This is what makes it aerobic (and sort of breathless)!

Day 2...Lower Body & Back for leg work, you do some for 15 reps as well as ab work (I'll put a * next to it) and you use no weights. For the rest, you'll use the pyramid system.

straddle squat
regular squat
front squat
hack squat
bent knee dead lift
*sissy squat
leg curl
*stomach knee ins
*crunch
*crunch with legs in air
*crunch with bent legs
*lying butt lift
*side leg raises
*lying inner thigh
*lying front kick outs
*lying back kick outs
*leg raises (while on knees)
*shoot outs
double arm reverse row
double row
double arm bent row
seated dumbbell back lateral
upright row

Again Joyce goes through the routine 2 times more and pyramids the segments with weights.

The whole video can be done in an hour. Joyce does not include a stretch at the end so you'll have to do that on your own. The music was nice but not loud at all. I enjoyed hearing some of the music I've heard in Cathe's videos. I always find something to remind me of Cathe! That means I'll have to use this video until her new ones are out. I liked seeing Joyce do push ups in her videos for the first time. She has done them in her book but I forget at the moment. It was also nice to see the way she moved from one exercise to the other. The only thing I would advise is to have heavier or lighter weights ready since not all bodyparts can lift the same amount of weights and Joyce goes to the next exercise fast. For the squats, the difference is in the way she holds the weights and her feet.

Did I like this video? I'd have to say yes! I think this is a must have for anyone who does Joyce videos. It's nice to add to the collection. Joyce didn't do too bad on the counting this time around although she did miss a few but not like in her previous videos. ;o) is it worth the money? It all depends on how much you like her videos. I didn't care for price soo much but I do like the video. It feels fresh. What I didn't like was Joyce wore red shorts. (yes I'm picking here). Problem with that is the rug was red and so was part of the background. She wears a different color in Dynamic Tension so she doesn't blend so much in that one. Joyce mentions she will be 58 this month. I think she looks darn good for someone her age. I forgot to mention she works alone in this video. So, to wrap it up, I think this is a good one to add to the Joyce Vedral video collection.
