    Yes it made me sore! It is a nice change! Like that its just 20 mins total including warmup and cool down! Of coarse u can make it harder by the more u put into it! Or easier by being confused as to what moves to do as i was the first day! Lol

    I just got it too and I'm getting eager to try it. I just haven't had time yet. I'd love to hear some more responses too!

    I have done the first workout. It is good. It is 20minutes long. It is my new favorite workout! I am doing Insanity right now though and havent done the other workouts on the dvd. I find it fun and not boring, and since it' short I don't dread it.

    I love it - fun and super fast-paced - definitely watch the tutorial before you start. Three workouts, exactly 20 minutes each, warm up and cool down are very brief.

    Workout 1 is meant to focus on arms & upper body & uses dumbbells for a few of the moves, Workout 2 is lower body (and for me has the most intense cardio), and Workout 3 is meant to focus on abs. But all three workouts work your entire body - you are kicking & punching through all of them. You can do one workout, or any combination - I've done all three back to back and it was tough!

    Love it! All 3 work outs are great! I love the energy level. I am doing body revolution so I'm not using any weights, I want this to be as " cardio" as possible. I like that I can do 1 workout if I am pressed for time or all 3 if I can.

    I have a HRM, so I log it that way. If I didn't have one, I'd probably log it under Kickboxing, it's in the MFP database. Or maybe circuit training....not sure.
