This is a circuit workout that *looks* like a lot of fun, but I just couldn't have much fun with it. You alternate 5 step routines with 5 strength segments. The step combos are interesting and the music is pretty good, but the teaching leaves something to be desired. I've done it halfway through a few times, and then when Michelle starts teaching combo #4, I just lose any interest in trying to figure it out. The combos aren't overly complex -- I'd call them higher-intermediate for complexity -- but the instructors just don't seem to have that knack for teaching that some do. This is more noticeable with Michelle's combos. Also, some of the transitions are awkward, so that has a lot to do with it.

The strength segments are "okay." They include some unique moves which is good. But the segments are too short and use too light of a weight to be of much real benefit. They move pretty quickly, so you can't easily use heavier weights.

I still may give this another try sometime because I want to like it, but I really don't think this will be on my shelf for too long. Grade B+.
