Breakthru Body Blast is a circuit tape consisting of five segments. Each segment features four minutes of cardio, a minute interval, a minute recovery and three minutes of weight work. What sets this tape apart from other circuit tapes is the choreography of the cardio portions; they're actually mini step combos that are fairly complicated, not focused on pure athletic moves. I've been in search of a circuit tape with dancy cardio intervals for quite a while and have not found one until I found this.
For a choreo lover, the intervals are fairly easy to learn, but don't expect master cueing. I actually like the fact that they do it once and expect you to jump right in; I know that will keep it from being boring later. I also like the way they preview the whole combo within the first 45 seconds and then you go back through and tighten it up, so you're always doing something new, not repeating something until you get it.
The weight work is unique, with many moves you haven't seen before. One move has you grasping a dumbbell from either end and taking it down to your knee and then up to opposite side (think Saturday Night Fever with two hands). I could feel this working my obliques. You also do pushups, plies, lots of arm work and dips. The video ends with some core work and stretching.
I really enjoyed this video and will be using it in my circuit rotation weeks.

Instructor Comments:
Instructors are comfortable with the camera and pleasant. They won me over right away.
