You will need at LEAST two bottles of water and a 5 Hour Energy to complete this workout. It is TOUGH! But so effective.

After a week of doing this every other day I already feel and look leaner. My muscles are more defined because I've burned the extra layer of fat off of my trouble areas. You can guarantee at least a 600 calorie burn in this video.

It's long, about an hour and fifteen minutes, but luckily there is a decent length warm-up at the beginning. Amy Bento, a no-nonsense girl, pushes you through all of these sequences. Only problem is she tends to add on very quickly, and at the end of the week I was still stumbling and forgetting some of the moves. That makes it a brain-challenge too, though.

There is a lot of Plyometrics (jumping around) involved so make sure you  have good shoes as well. Unfortunately there aren't even any variations in this, unless you count the very pregnant lady doing low-impact workout... which was a little shocking, and strange, but good for her.

This DVD is absolutely not for beginners, or possible intermediate exercisers, so please handle this with caution. I was a bit nauseous after the first time I did this, so I took the energy level down a bit the next few times and built back up. If you feel sick or dizzy at any time you need to stop immediately!

Other than the fact this is very extreme, could possibly make you sick, and will totally kick your ass at the end, I give it five stars because it's hard finding DVDs for the advanced trainer.
