I payed $15 even. I agree the packaging is very professional and well done.
I did the first circuit workout today, great old school moves that I really appreciated. It felt easier than I expected because the rests were too long for me, so I started to fast forward through them. The second block got me a bit sweatier because he moves quickly from one move to the next. I found it odd that he kept saying to keep the pace slow, yet, the pace was always too fast. But I adjusted to this, by not watching the screen and just finishing out my reps at my own pace, there was plenty of time to do so because of the long rests in between exercises.
I think Frank is great and motivating, the set is nice and bright, and the filming quality is excellent. I like that he does most of the workout, and only once in a while walks over to someone to show some form pointers. Oh and something I love, he does use the rest time wisely at least to demo the next move allowing me to get the proper weight before the move starts.
I wanted to do more, so I skipped the stretch in the circuit WO, and did the punching and kicking from the kickboxing dvd. I like the woman who leads it and would probably like taking a live class with her. I did not like the music so I played my own, which works fine because this is not a choreographed workout, it's more like boxing and kicking drills with a few cardio bursts in between. I probably will not do this too often, it didn't feel like it was enough as it's own workout, but I would do the punching/kicking as an add on again.
Needless to say, I am thrilled with this purchase. I wasn't sure if I was going to try a rotation, but after doing the first one, I will start it in a week or two, but using my own cardio.
