Karen Voigth´s Energy Sprint is a cardio training combined with a training to tone and define the body. Although it is already released on video in 1993 it is still up to date and fortunately is now available on DVD.  One of her best workouts.

The menu is very good. You can choose the whole program or there is a mix match feature where you can choose those segments which you want to perform.

The cardio training itself lasts about 40 minutes. In this program there are sprints, it means there are intervals between step moves of lower and higher intensity. A bar at the bottom of the tv screen , a  "Sprint timer" indicates when the sprint starts (phases of higher intensity) and how long it will take. This motivates you not to give up. All sprints except the last one are carried out on a step board.

The step moves are easy to follow.  In between Karen Voight shows possibilities how to modify the moves so that you can increase your level of intensity.

After the cardio section the workout for the upper body takes place. All important muscles groups are trained. It is not so demanding as the cardio section but you can increase your own level by using heavier dumbbells.  The entire 83-minute workout is completed with a 9-minute abs training (mainly crunches) and a 4-minute strech.

This should be the right DVD for the advanced. Especially because of the absolute demanding and challenging cardio section but also the rest is very good. 

It is one of my favourite DVDs.     Full score
