When I tried to do this workout, I couldn't believe how exaggerated the movements were. All the stretches seemed to be way too jerky and fast. I was extremely disappointed with this video and afterwards I actually felt like I had pulled a few muscles. I mean I'm not an amateur or anything when it comes to workout videos, I have enjoyed doing various Jane Fonda videos and other videos for years, but it just seemed to me like this video centered around Cindy and not on actually doing the moves safely and effectively. I would not recommend this video for these reasons.

As with the first tape, the production value is impressive and it is well shot. But a nice difference from the first tape is that not many of the movements are repeated, you are constantly changing and doing new things, so it is a lot of fun. The movements are very athletic, coming from kickboxing, tennis, boxing and even sumo wrestling. There is a brief cardiovascular section designed to warm the body, but this is primarily a strengthening and toning tape. This video also casts a serious eye towards safety, which was a main point of criticism towards the first tape. Cindy and Radu show you variations and she even seems to do the exercises more carefully herself. There is a great section after the workout that shows some of these tricky moves and how to do them properly without injury. Very smart and should silence opponents of the first video. All in all, it's very tough and very effective. You don't get 3 workouts like the first tape, but this one is longer (about an hour), so it is great for alternating with the others to keep your body guessing. I can't say enough good things about this one. Very different form what's out there and very thorough. (And very safe)
