I would have rated this as excellent if Bob had focused more on proper form and mentioned that people with knee problems might have problems with this workout like most instructors would.
This DVD is broken up into 6 different segments. You can pick and choose by adding or subtracting workouts to make a custom workout, or you can use some of the precombined workouts as suggested for a 6 week workout plan. This DVD can be useful for all fitness levels form beginner to advanced.
If you have knee problems, you might want to modify a lot of the exercises and avoid the boot camp section entirely. Bob focuses a lot on the arms and I would have liked to have seen some more chest exercises and a bit more work on the abdominal section. Unlike most instructors, Bob doesn't really do the workouts along with the other cast members. He does laugh a bit like Jim Carrey's Vera de Milo character (In Living Color), so be forewarned.
The available selections are:
The warm-up is about 5 minutes and is basically a few stretches.
Low Intensity Cardio (25:43) Please note that this is not low-impact (there's some jumping jacks, etc). This section involves some punching, kicking, rear lunges, twisting side to side (while throwing punches) and squats.
High Intensity Cardio (19:56) This section has side-to-side jumping, tire drills, football runs, punching/boxing, knee-ups & high kicks.
Strength & Sculpt (19:58) Using handweights, this selection includes one arm rows, pec decs (chest squeeze), squats, overhead presses, bicep curls, forward lunges, squats, tricep extensions, bridge pose, reverse curls (abs) oblique crunches (side to side), crunches, plank position, and baby cobra.
Boot Camp (20:10) using weights--Starting out with some punches then side front raises, side pulses up, holding weights up to the sides, jumping jacks, lunges, push-ups, squats, jumping up and down & side to side, wood chop (twisting like you are chopping wood with an axe), forward arm extensions, side arm extensions, jump roping and holding weights out to the side.
Stretch & Cool Down (10:15). Easy going stretching.
