  • I'm loving this work out. It's fast, quick, and over before you know it! I did this a few hours after my morning workout just to add some more fitness. - 6/19/2013 3:26:25 PM

  • Great short cardio to add to my strength training. I did a low impact version since I'm just starting out again. Thanks. More short videos please. :) - 6/12/2013 12:19:29 PM
  • I wish one could burn more calories without the high impact. I learned last week that I shouldn't do high impact just because I feel strong enough to do it. After about a week of warning pains, my back went out & I was out of action for a week now. Having to be very careful. I think all videos anywhere that include high impact should have warnings to not do them if you have issues. I messed up and I KNEW BETTER - but there's newbies to fitness all the time that don't know. - 6/11/2013 2:53:30 PM
  • Yep! Will add this one to my FAV list! Thanks! - 6/11/2013 9:35:13 AM
  • Great little workout! Even with my speakers not working on my computer, I was able to follow along and complete it. I modify everything to be low impact, so no jumping, one foot always remains on the floor. Very easy to make these changes, although the calorie count is probably a bit lower this way ;-) - 6/11/2013 7:13:38 AM
  • Only able to do the easiest options at the moment but working towards the higher intensity options. - 6/4/2013 1:45:53 AM
  • Does anyone know whether you can customize a video playlist or "favorite" a video? I think it would be awesome if you could make a customized workout playlist with your favorite videos and then know you burned ### calories if you did them all. Like, for me "Sunday" would be this video for cardio, an arms video, a legs video, and this one again all played in a row.
