This is an intermediate cardio level Basic workout. The opening music is very motivating and makes you really want to get moving. It has a good warm-up period but a short cool-down period. At the beginning of the workout, there is a 5 1/2-minute floor work segment for the glutes. This tape has no balancing moves in it.

The Warm-up: This workout has a 6 1/2-minute warm-up starting out with stepping side to side, upper-cuts from horse-stance position then changing to straight punches, alternating side upper-cuts turning the hips, upper-torso shift, side stretches with side lunges (a few on each side then alternating arms), stepping side to side again, stretches for the neck - half circles, right to left, forward and back; shoulder stretches - shrugging in a circular motion and leaning left, center, and right; single jabs on each side, jumping jacks, stretching for the hips and hamstrings in a lunge position and a few push-ups, a variety of hamstring stretches from the standing straddle position, and straddle stretches sitting on the floor.

The Workout:

Floor work: (approx. 5 1/2 minutes) The workout starts out on the floor with some butt-work including back kick extensions, hydrants, roundhouse kicks, a modification on the back-kick extensions where you hold the leg up and lift it higher in small movements really focusing on the glutes, and leg circles.

It's time to get up off the floor!

• The workout continues with a few sets of flies.

• Alternating left and right hooks during the hips each time.

• Stepping side to side while working the arms in and out bent at the elbow.

• Arms moving side to side (slicing sword arms) and step-in knee raises changing to step-in front kicks.

• Jumping jacks

• Side knee-raises, a few sets on each side.

• Jabs on each side.

• Single-arm speed bags from a horse-stance.

• Straight punches from a horse-stance.

• Left knee-raise and right front kick combo, then switching to right knee-raise and left front kick. These seem like they go on forever!

• 2-punch combo and 3-punch combo w/knee raise, a few sets on each side

The Cool-down: This workout has a short 1 1/2-minute cool-down. It starts out with arm circles, stretching standing straddle splits for the hamstrings, and finishes with the cat-stance move.
