It's obvious that the first Mechelle's Way was a stepping stone for Mechelle's Way 2. I own both, and found Mechelle's Way 1 to be confusing and disorienting: the workout is taped with Mechelle Smith's voice dubbed over the routine. It's obvious that the voice you hear does not fit Mechelle's mouth moving in the video, and sometimes the moves are ahead of her instructions. I found this distracting, and did not get a good workout. BUY MECHELLE'S WAY 2 INSTEAD -- it's FANTASTIC!
