content: I bought this video on VHS in 2001 after I had my first child. I was desperate to lose the weight and tone up. I found that after about 2 months of giving this exercise video a try I was in better shape than before I even got pregnant! Every exercise routine reaches a plateau, however I found that the better in shape I got, the more fun this video is. I admit I couldn't even get through the first two circuits when I first started, and woke up so sore I couldn't even walk up the stairs. A few years later, I'm still loving this video and use it as a great and fast cardio workout. I'm not a fitness expert, and I read a lot that this is beginner/intermediate, but it is a good basic video with no corny whooping and hollering. She is down to earth, but gives enough motivation in her video to keep up with the workout. Minna is awesome, and I do have a lot of her videos in my collection.
