I just received this one a few days ago and tried it tonight as my second DVD after an InSaNiTy plyometric DVD. It was definitely challenging - especially as the second workout in today's rotation. The moves were some classics - but there were a few moves I have not really done with other DVD's - and my collection is pretty wide. The marching in place is fine if you march quickly, but you can also jog, jump rope or do jumping jacks to kick up that intensity. I also did the workout with weighted gloves...so there's always a way to make this more intense. You can use heavier weights during the weighted sections, weighted gloves or a weighted vest. I have a 50lb weighted vest, so plan on using it for this next time. <br /> <br />I like the instructor. He is not annoying at all and gives good instructions. No dancey steps at all and the girls were also fine. Yes, they look awesome - but that motivates me to want to workout harder. I want to look like that too! <br /> <br />I was very pleased with the workout and will be rotating this one in, as it is a keeper for me. Really Enjoyed This One!

It's definitely different than any of my other workout DVD's. Tom is very motivating and the workout flies by. I do wish it was a longer workout and I also wish that he did some of the moves longer to the point of muscle fatigue. A different kind of workout!

I consider myself to be in very good shape and I was sore after this one. The only thing I didn't like was the back up people. They were all females in great shape with big fake boobs. Real people I doubt it, fitness models most likely. Great for people that are already in shape.

It's a bit cheesy and distracting to see a room full of women in matching short shorts bouncing around. I've never felt this way about any other workout DVD. The girls seemed like they were hired directly from Hooters or something. <br /> <br />My second gripe are the moves. I was in the military for four years, so I guess I am just used to these moves and find them quite boring. Pushups, I mean I've done hundreds upon hundreds of them. This seems like a quick routine I would do in the morning with my unit. I guess that's what some people are looking for, but it's not for me. <br /> <br />Good luck! Oh, and I recommend Self Bikini Ready Fast. Disappointed

There are tons of squats and lunges as well as push ups. Tom Stroup gets your heart rate up and then brings it back down by doing a SWAT march. This is simply walking in place. <br /> <br />A lot of the exercises begin while standing and then take you down to the floor so you are burning a lot of calories from moving up and down constantly for minutes at a time. There is one move called mountain climbing where you are in a plank position and then you "climb" or run for a few minutes. Some of the exercises are high impact but Tom Stroup shows you modifications, which I found to be very helpful the first time I tried this workout. <br /> <br />I'd recommend this workout if you are intermediate to advanced. There are plenty of challenges, you will definitely sweat and feel this workout all over your body. This is probably the most difficult workout I've ever tried, yet I was still able to do the extra abdominal workout. There is a short section at the end to help you cool down and believe me you will love stretching after all the intensity. <br /> <br />~The Rebecca Review <br /> An Intense SWAT workout

It is a hard workout in parts, but has a lot of marching in between exercises while he is introducing the ladies who are working out with him. That gives you a chance to catch your breath as well. I would recommend this to anyone who is ready for a challenge. The exercises are old school, but really work you hard! I would say this is close to an advanced workout. Good Fat Burning Workout

Everyone had a great time! Our little group covered the entire spectrum of ages and fitness levels (ages 30-70 and those who exercise regularly and those who don't). You don't need any equipment, with the exception of one set of medium weights (though the workout would be fine without them). While it is a "bootcamp" style workout, it was certainly friendly, upbeat, and fun. <br /> <br />Each exercise was very simple, but effective (we're talking jumping jacks, push-ups, mountain-climbers, lunges, etc.) and everyone could go at their own pace. I work out a lot and I still got really out of breath! <br /> <br />The 6-minute ab workout was FANTASTIC! ANYONE would be challenged (and for those who can't do the crazy variations at the end, just keep doing regular crunches). <br /> <br />Just a note that while the lunches, squats, and push-ups are definitely strength exercises, most of the workout is cardio-focused. They don't do a ton of weight lifting or serious strength training. <br /> <br /> Great workout for everyone!

You can't choose from different types like most other workout DVDs. But this is a cheaper one. The routines are not bad, and it does give you a good workout for the body and the heart. I just wish he had at least 2 different routines you can choose from (maybe differnt intensity levels or speed) instead of playing the entire DVD. And it's only about 45-50 minutes from warm-up to complete cool-down. A bit shorter than I thought.
