Mindy Mylrea's Gliding Extreme...just how extreme is it?

I continue to be interested in this one, though I KNOW it is (more than likely) way above my ability level.

I read a review of it in another thread (acescholar's?)...but I was wondering if other's had tried this one. Like it? Hate it? (wanna trade it? )

Mainly, I do want to know what is the set-up/break-down: mostly cardio, toning? How long for each, you think? I think Mindy can be a little Energizer Bunny-like when it comes to cardio (and cardio with the discs is a little scary for me), but I like toning stuff with the discs.

Appreciate any thoughts on this one.
Thanks!

She took the words right out of my mouth. I still have it but it is KILLER!! I'm keeping the hope alive I'll be able to do it (modified big time) one day.

You know this dvd looks good. I like gliding and got great lower body results when I stuck with it. And I like any workout that utilizes a medicine ball. I have to check to see if anyone has it on swap.

Ah, well, thank you much.
Whatever dwindling interest I had just magically disappeared.

I must be sick because I've had the opposite reaction -- this wasn't even on my radar and now I'm magically interested.

I've only done it once so far (not because I didn't like it, but because I got into a S90 rotation).
I found some of the exercises tough, and a few core ones near the end that I had to modify a lot, but it's doable, and something to work up to on the tougher exercises.
