I received this workout on VHS as a SASE from a kind VF member. I liked it so much, I bought it on DVD, even though I think the price of $19.99 plus shipping for a 30 minute workout is a bit high (it used to be available with Equanimity, but now it is on its own). Mindy Mylrea leads the workout and Lashaun Dale and Clare Dunphy are in the background. Sometimes they do the same moves as Mindy and sometimes they show easier modifications; for some moves, Mindy also demonstrates a more advanced option. It is a CIA set with a bright red wall with some decorative touches and a hardwood floor. It is clean and well lit and I like it. The music has a good strong beat, it feels energetic and matches the workout well. Mindy is known for some tough workouts meant for advanced exercisers, but this one is accessible to low intermediates and probably even advanced beginners; you could make it harder by increasing the amount of weight you use. Mindy is a live wire and the 30 minutes pretty much flies by; there is no dread factor for me. I've toyed with the idea of buying a body bar to use with this workout, but it really isn't necessary (especially since I don't have any other workouts that use one). I am able to complete the moves just fine using dumbbells or an 8# medicine ball and still feel like I'm getting something out of it.

Petite, very fit, chatty and funny. I bet she is a hoot in person!
