I just started a workout routine by going to aerobics class. I bought this tape to rotate into my routine on days when I didn't have class. I love it! This tape really gets my heart rate up and by the end I get pretty winded. I am in my early twenties, but wasn't in the best of shape before I started, so this video was a challenge physically, but the routines were easy to pick up.

Good:
Fairly easy moves that really get your heart rate up

Cueing is excellent. Tamilee Webb cues according to your left and right so that you are mirroring each other. This lets you follow easily without tripping all over yourself. She is also good at letting you know what move comes next so that you keep moving. She cues before the move, not on it. She is not exactly a perky instructor, but she will keep you motivated.

This is high impact, so that is something to keep in mind for joint problems or if you are really out of shape.

Weak points:
There is no toning to this video, so I do my own routine to my own music after the video is over. This would also be a good place to add a toning video.

There is not a lot of stretching or flexibility training to this video. So after the toning part of my routine I do my own stretching routine. This would also be a good place to add a stretching video if you have one.

Overall this is a great video that will make you work hard. I like Tamilee's style of teaching and how she puts each routine together. Also she is encouraging without being annoying. I am creating a rotation of videos and this one is sure to stay in it for a long time.

Originally, I purchased this thinking I could use it as a "lighter" day workout, but I was very wrong in my assumption. Tamilee Webb has a reputation among veteran fitness tape workout fans as being tough, but even this one through me for a loop. Within the first twelve minutes of the workout, I checked my heart monitor and was suprised to find I was working so hard! You will definitely get a hard workout in a short period of time. There's a quick warm-up, followed by four short segments, then a cool-down/stretch segment. The moves are not difficult at all, but are intense. If you're looking for a tape to use on a day that you need a quick workout, I would highly recommend this tape to add to your collection.

This is my favorite cardio video right now. Because the video is only 30 minutes long, I can easily fit it into my day. I found the choreography fun and uncomplicated. I especially love the addition of plyometric moves and core conditioning to the cardio. I can feel those "assets" tightening up!

This DVD is great if you are a beginner. I am more into the advanced work outs and I am used to sweating within ten minutes however I didnt break much of a sweat until twenty miutes into the dvd. Dont get me wrong this is a great warm up dvd for the hard core people such as myself and this is great for those who want a quick workout. She has a great ten minute bun feature on the DVD and you even have the option of just working out to the music once you get the routine down. Thats a plus. The reason I havn't given it five stars is because at the beginning of the dvd there is a two minute infomercial that you cannot fast forward through or even skip. You have to play that part to actually get to the workout. That is very annoying. I dont like being forced to watch an infomercial especially when its on something I paid for.

This is not one for the uncoordinated. I only tried it once, and have no desire to try it again. Also beware that this is not the best pick if you have only a small space.

This is such a fun video. Tamilee does a great job explaining the steps. Anyone would be able to learn them. This video does have some turning and jumping for those who have dizziness or bad feet/knees. If you have these problems, with this video, you would be able to adjust your steps and still do the workout.

I'm an intermediate/low advanced exerciser and I really love this video. It's the only cardio tape I have right now but I don't mind doing it most days of the week. Tamilee is a great instructor - she cues so well I don't have to look at the screen anymore. I would say it's high intermediate esp. if you do more pylometric hops while she's explaining the next move. I make it a little more high impact and it really gets my heartrate up!

This is a great video. I like most of Tamilee's work, and this has to be one of the best yet! It has a perfect amount of cardio and it's not to long!

I got this video for Christmas and I love it!!The moves are simple and it really works.
