Unbelievable Workout!
This is an incredible workout. It seems so deceptively simple. Exercise for 45 seconds and then recover for 20 seconds. However, this is an intense and grueling and demanding workout. It literally kicks "booty". I couldn't complete the whole 45 seconds on a lot of them...and when the instructor says you will feel it in 48 hours (he's lying...you feel it the next day) you will really feel it. I am not trying to be a firefighter; I just want to get in shape, but this is a great workout and I highly recommend this for someone who wants an effective, intense cardio workout. One thing I didn't quite like about it was that there is no warmup or cooldown. However, this is minor, I warmup and cooldown on the treadmill before and after the workout.
Some have said they don't like the friendly "banter" from the leader in the workout, but trust me, you won't even hear it half the time. You will be concentrating so hard on the correct movement, balance, or trying to keep from passing out from the sheer intenseness of it that you won't notice. The four people in the background must be in incredible shape, however you can see that it even gets to them sometimes. I like the fact that they are in loose tee shirts and loose shorts. They are there to workout, not be eye candy.
So, order this without delay. You won't regret it.

This workout will whip your butt into shape (literally)
I was very impressed with this workout video. The 'friendly banter' that goes along with the workout gets old pretty quick, but for anyone that works out to videos, you know youre muting it and booming a stereo once youve got the workout down.

I meant exactly what I said in the title as well. This is a glute and quad intensive workout. lots of lunging, lots of squatting but also very good cardio. You do get some upper body, but the progress you make there is pretty much dependant on the weight of your medicine ball. It's also an interval workout. 45 seconds of intense work, with 20 seconds to rest.

Coupling this video with a run day and some upper body/ab weight training will get you in shape. period. I was very pleased with my purchase, and hope to see Dr. Ross make some more videos in the future.

Wow!!
Great workout! I have done it 6 times now and I am still sore 2 days afterwards. There are great exercises here and while watching (not doing the workout) may LOOK easy, it is absolutely a kicker! The exercises are very much work related. It is designed to keep your posture while bending, reaching and extending with the medicine ball. I'd recommend it not just to firefighters, but to any athlete. This is a good workout.
