I love these!! They are much slower and more controlled than Dream Body. I had Dream Body and returned the set because it was so frantic and lacked control to the point that I didn't feel the burn on any of the moves. Mixxtreme moves at a nice clip to get your heart rate up, but not so fast that you don't feel the burn in the muscles that you're supposed to be working. There are lots of planks, pushups, and burpees in this, so stay away if you don't like those. These are also more athletic and less "fusion-y" than Dream Body.
I remember thinking that my arms were looking great when I was doing these. At the time, I was doing them 4x a week, and maybe did them for about a month.
The instructor has a tendency to yell a little bit, especially at the end of a set, but that didn't bother me. I really like these workouts a lot, because they fuse barre with traditional cardio moves, but done in an interval-style, which I really like.
