Let me tell you, nothing about this workout DVD is for beginners! That being said, it is a great set of workouts. There is a 5-minute warm up / stretch segment, which I recommend before choosing any of these workouts. The low intensity cardio session is 25 minutes; it includes lunges, jumping jacks, squats and kickboxing with some punching and trunk rotations. It is a great cardio workout--even my husband will do this one with me. The high intensity cardio is more of the same, but only 20 minutes, and moves at a quicker pace. Football drills and "tires", more squats and lunges and kickboxing moves. The one thing I will say about all of these workouts is that Bob (the trainer) does a great job at explaining modifications for all the moves, so that you do truly feel that you can move at your own pace and fitness level. The 20 minute strength and sculpt workout includes work with free weights and focuses on shoulders, chest, biceps and triceps, more squats and lunges and some heavy-duty ab work. Adjusting your intesity by increasing or decreasing the size of your weights keeps this progam challenging. The 20 minute bootcamp is probably my least favorite segment; it's kind of weird. You can do it with or without weights, and maybe it's my fitness level, but I find that without weights, it's too easy, but with weights, it's nearly impossible. Even my 1 and 2 lb. weights get to be too much. More intense, "one minute drills" that focus on all out muscle toning and cario. Good exercise if you can swing it. Lastly, there's a 10 minute cool down / stretch which I find very good for all major muscle groups. Let me tell you, if you pair a cardio workout with either the strength and sculpt or boot camp, you've done a lot of work. Bob keeps you moving (not to mention he cracks himself up, which is kind of amusing), and seeing how great the contestants look is really very inspiring to keep moving. Highly recommended!!
