This workout is awesome. It uses both cardio and weights to create a low-to-high intensity workout. I started out doing everything Violet did, which is "normal" intensity - however, if you are not in the best shape (like myself) I would recommend doing the "low" intensity version (follow the woman on the right side of the screen) for a while and work your way up. That way you can make it through the whole 50 minutes! I also love her personality - she's not annoying and safety comes first for her, so you know you're not going to injure yourself. All-in-all this dvd is great.
