Really enjoyed this workout. The back drop is gorgeous, instructor not annoying. I was looking to add cardio and strength training together in a workout dvd and found it with this one. It brought my workout to a higher level because I chose to use weights

Upbeat, fantastic workout

"I love this workout and can't wait to try the other DVDs in this series. It is a carto-strength training-yoga-pilates fusion, but no sun-salutes here, yeah! The instructor (Tanja Djelevic ) is not too chatty, but motivates to get you going. The music really is not disco, it is modern, upbeat, and wonderful. The setting is beautiful in the mountains of Utah. You get 50, 30, and 10 min workouts. In the 50, she'll start you with a fun warm-up; move on to challenging cardio, then weighted movements (with or without weights), pilates abs, and yoga/stretch cool down. The moves are easy to learn and perfectly paced. I'm not much of a pilates fan, but her moves were fun and just my speed. I have been looking for a challenging workout like this and I was in a sweat as time flew by. Tanja makes it so fun.
If you want good results, definitely get this DVD. I have also tried her new balance ball DVD and you can read my review...it's great too! I can't wait to try the other DVD's in this new series from Gaiam and will post reviews soon."

"The music is disco, but the setting is outdoors, and the purpose of the exercise tape is to enjoy being embodied and healthy. Yoga steps are blended into aerobic and strength-building exercises, although I would say there is more pilates and aerobics than yoga. Tanja Djelevic has a smiling, vibrant personality that encourages you to have fun and work hard. I plan on buying more of her DVDs soon."
Nice setting but LACKS cardio

"While I think this is a decent DVD, I was really expecting a lot more cardio. Unlike Tanja's Cardio BalanceBall DVD where I stayed in my heart rate training zone for most of the workout. My heart rate monitor did not indicate that with this workout. Also, my pedometer only indicated that I got in 1400 steps out of the daily 10,000 recommended steps. I think the title should have been changed to reflect that this DVD is predominantly a toning DVD.
I enjoy Tanja as an instructor, and I do think that she incorporates a lot of dynamic movement into this intermediate level workout. She is positive, and you can tell that she truly enjoys health. I work out at least 6 days a week to fitness DVDs.I think I will only do this video about once a month or so.
If you are a beginner/ intermediate exerciser who wants a serene workout for lighter days, you will enjoy this workout."
Great workout Nice change of pace

"I normally don't like Yoga based workouts, they're just not my thing. I prefer kick boxing and lots of sweating and kicks. However this workout I found to be a great combination and lead by one very long and lean instructor. I chose this workout due to the reviews posted here on Amazon and have been very pleased with this purchase. Everything everyone has written if very true. I find I get a great cardio workout from this and have an overall great feeling of strength when complete. I found the moves to be doable and enjoyable. I think the setting is very scenic and a nice change of pace from the hum drum studio set you normally get. I can only wish I looked like Tanja and had those amazing long limbs. The workout leaves me refreshed and energized and feeling more flexible then I have in a long time from a workout."
My wife loves the DVD

"My wife just loves fitness DVD's and put Tanja's DVD on her wishlist. I got her the Cardio DVD for her birthday and it's her new favorite DVD now.
I tried it too and really like it. Lot's of fun. Great setting, easy to repeat at home and very upbeat.
My wife has already updated her wishlist and I guess I will get some more of Tanja's workout DVD's soon."
