They're sooooo good! The only one I haven't done is the prenatal, but the other two are excellent workouts. Cardio is basically a lot of push-ups and thigh work, so it's def. not straight up cardio. Unless you are really used to push-ups, it will probably leave you pretty sore the next day. FIT is mostly floor work. Very challenging.

Did you guys get the email that they teamed with Erin Andrews and a new DOWNLOAD will be available in Dec?

I got this email too. When they say "download", do they mean download or streaming video?

(I'm hoping for download!). Thanks!

Would you recommend Cardio if I love P57 but hates push-ups?

Haha! There are a lot of pushups in that workout! Maybe your love of P57 can help you overcome your hatred of pushups??

It's a great workout. Def. worth a try.

UGH, doubt it. lol
I despise push-ups.

Can you give a breakdown of the workout?

IIRC, it alternates sets of pushups with sets of thigh work (at the barre, thigh dancing, curtsey lunges, etc.) The pushup segments are short, usually between 4-8 reps I think, so you can really give it your all. You're def. not doing anything like 16 reps--def. shorter segments than in the DVDs.
