This is a 40 minute mostly strength workout led by Allie with 4 b/g exercisers in the set w/ the hardwood floors, white walls, and windows. Alison shows beginner modifications. You will need a variety of dumbbells for this workout.

Allie does a good job of hitting all the muscle groups with a lot of multi-limb exercises, though not all are multi muscle. When she does combine exercises she does so well, and the poundage worked well for all the moves involved in most cases.

She will typically introduce a lower body move, then add an UB move, and possilby another LB move to keep things interesting and challenging. There are 2 sets of plyo type cardio exercises, but the bulk of this w/o is strength- much of it got my HR up nicely.

Some of the exercises include: lunge with bicep curl & rear leg lift, side lunge with a row and a knee lift, deadlift, overhead tricep extension, planks, pushup w/ an arm tap, and she concludes with a nice ab/ core routine.

I really like this workout and they time seemed to fly by for me. I would rate this a solid intermediate workout that could be easily modified up or down. Many of the exercises got my heartrate up nicely and Im sure I burnt a good amount of calories. Allie does have some babytalk moments but its bearable.
