I have a copy of this video and I love it. I love the fact that Rachel is real woman. In the video, she makes mistakes and jokes around with the instructor like she is in a real class. She looks out of breath at times and you can see that she has some fat on her body. I enjoy this video so much more than the ones with anorexic women with smiles plastered on their faces.

Rachel is extremely focused and puts out maximum effort thru the entire video. She is not the least bit concerned about her hair or makeup and as far as I can tell it is a real session. Not some contrived peice shot over many days, to obtain some perfect unreachable reality. This video is highly adaptable, to many fitness levels and much more fun than aerobics. Dont delay, buy this video and get going.

This is set at the beach with the instructor, Ed Monaghan having many years of martial arts experience & saying this has Muy Tai & another form in it.
This is set on a Mexico beach & starts with basic very slow instruction to show you basic core form.
The rest of the workout has Ed mostly watching Rachel's form, and only doing the work when showing a new punch, hook, elbow strike, kick, etc.
He is great about teaching form & going a certain speed to keep you from getting sloppy and work on your form for balance & safety like a real martial arts student.

I took off 2 stars because I don't want to watch Rachel's form, I want to watch the real expert. If he had another where HE was doing the work, I'd buy that.

This tape should not use the word "cardio" in it. It was slow paced and unchallenging. I would not recommend this tape to anyone who is prepared to receive an aerobic workout. This is for beginners only.

I love the Rachel Hunter workout and use this tape regularly. The instructor is terrific and really stresses form - he knows what he is doing 100%. How aerobic you go is up to you - what you put in is what you get out of it!

I am very disappointed in this video. It's more of an instruction to Rachel Hunter (from the man teaching her) than I expected. I expected it to be just her, showing what she knows or was taught to the audience. No offense against the guy, in fact I'd rather have a video from him alone than from her. It is very slow paced and didn't even get my heart beat going.
