It does, but there are full-body premixes, including at least one or two around 30 minutes.
(I have Cardio Pump, but haven't tried it yet, so I can't compare the two. )

I don't have Cardio Pump, but if you want straightforward, then Start Here is probably the way to go--it's VERY straightforward! In fact, I don't do the weights portion of the DVD very often (I love the cardio) for that reason--i.e., I find it kind of boring.

Watching this carefully, because I'm on a constant quest for the perfect KCM strength workout! I haven't found it yet.
FWIW, I have to disagree with Beth about the strength portion of "Start Here." I *adore* the cardio (but would love another 5 min LOL)--it's a brilliant light day workout that actually really works you out! Very few workouts make me feel looser, more energetic, or happier. ...But the strength segment is terrible!! (Well, we agree on that, I guess.) It's not basic, it's weird. The moves don't make any sense, she doesn't tell you what you're working, and some of the sets are ENDLESS. There is this bizarre swimming-arms segment that goes on forever, and I have no idea what benefit it's supposed to have, but my sensitive shoulders hate it. It's a big fail, for me, workout-wise. ...But I totally think that the cardio alone is worth the price. It's that good. Short, sweet, friendly, and happy. I also have "Your Best Body," which is two strength workouts, and from what I understand they are pretty basic moves. I've only done one of them, but the sets were too long for me--long sets, high reps, "when-will-this-end" sort of feel to it, alas. But the MOVES were better than "Start Here." I should give it another try. The premixes might be better!

It looks like the strength parts are basic in WO 2, except the kneeling reach - pull part.

It's been a long time since I've done Start Here but I did Cardio Pump recently and loved the strength workout. (FYI, I posted a review on Mary's forum. I'm on my iPad right now but I'll post a link later.) IMO the moves are pretty straight forward. In my review I said it may become one of my favourite 30 minute weight workouts once I figure out the right weights to use. I found it very efficient and the pyramid style made the time fly by.

Gem, that swimming arms segment is actually at the end of the cardio. There is the traditional cardio, which is pretty short--about 22 minutes. But tacked on to the end of that--the last 8 minutes or so of Workout #1--is the the segment you are referring to, which is the "cardio sculpt" with light weights. I like that segment too, but it's definitely not weight training; it's more like TA-type work or something else.
The strength workout I was referring to above is Workout #2 on the DVD, Body Sculpting. Again, it's MUCH more straightforward. Here's my description from my review: Quote:
