What a FUN workout! Piloxing runs over an hour (when you include the mat and stretch at the end) but time goes quickly. It alternates between standing toning/pilates/barre moves and "power moves" (boxing movements)....some segments combine the 2 types. It is set beside a boxing ring, with hot pink and black being the primary decoration colors.

I generally am not a fan of boxing or kickboxing (don't ask me why I felt the need to buy this workout)...but I'm glad I got it! It is not easy, though. I worked up a good sweat (this is with pausing half-way through to change a diaper, talk to DH, get some water, take off my hand-weights)....plus I stopped at the 50 min mark, which is where she begins the mat work and stretch.

I liked the short segments. Viveca would do a move for a minute or 2, sometimes adding an additional arm or leg movement, and then move on to something completely new. No getting bored or no TIFTing...just lots of fun moves. And if they were doing a section that I didn't "feel" (like a certain samba/sexy moves section) I just skip it and voila! Moving on!

There were some parts that I couldn't do because of the double-time speed....I just slowed them down or took breaks.

Instructor Comments:
Viveca is engaging and encouraging. I like the class atmosphere, most of the backgrounders seemed to be having a good time. I will note: there is a lot of WHOOPING (didn't bother me) and quite a bit of "sexy" talk (which did bother me)....but I enjoyed it enough that I will look past it.
