Yes, there is the usual voiceover cuing by Sylwia.

There are still plenty of lunges in this 90 minute workout, but maybe about 30-35 minutes total (from what I can tell from preview). You could easily skip those sections and just do the mat work and get a fabulous workout. Some of the mat work has some diagonal lunges interspersed, however (for example, a diagonal lunge to one-legged burpee to pushup and back to diagonal lunge).

BTW, the music is the same as the music in ATM, FF, and BTM, with maybe a few new tunes, but the same techno style.

I wish Sylwia would chapter her workouts and create premixes (Full Workout, Half Workout, Upper Body Only, Lower Body Only). It's funny because as I previewed the workouts I could see where I would put chapter points.

Agreed. I was going to stop at the same point you did, until she gave me a different approach. It's definitely something to work up to, but I'm like you - I love the upper body work in it and definitely think this is her most total body workout yet.

Thanks!

I wish she would chapter as well. This sounds good though!

Maybe, this is something that you could suggest to Sylwia for the DVD if she hasn't done this yet.

I'm hoping Sarah will see this thread. She was one of Sylwia's testers. She did say that there are a lot of upper body/plank work.

I'll wait for the dvd. How is the production quality? Just wondering since it was filmed outdoors.

Thanks! It looks good, but I went on a Tomique binge during the New Year...only to not use any of them once this year. I might have sit this one out, unless I can get it in a trade.
