Before starting with the workout you should do the fitness test. These are 10 exercises which also be found in the pre-program as well in the main program. It is a mixture of simple or rather easier exercises (squats, lunges etc.) and more demanding exercises(plank mit jump squats und mountain climbing etc.). With this test you should assess your own fitness level. According to David Kirsch you can skip the pre-program and move on to the main program, if you are able to do all 10 exercises without difficulties. Otherwise you should do the pre-program 4 times a week for 14 days, which should lead you to the main program.
Main Program: This program starts with a light warm-up. There are also easier exercises but there are mainly exercises which require much strength and balance. Especially those with the stability ball (knee tucks etc.). But you also need much strength for the exercises on the mat. Kirsch loves push-ups, which you can see in the workout. There are many of them for example push-ups with clapping, push ups with hip extension, to name just a few. In between there are cardio segments, such as jumping jacks with and without dumbbells, jogging in place etc. Most of the exercises are very demanding and without question effective. Except in case of the weight exercises. In my opinion the weights are too light. Lower body workout: In this workout the outer and inner thighs, butt and lower back are trained.
To my mind Kirsch is lacking a motivating manner. Indeed he explains in detail which muscles are trained but there are no instructions how to perform the exercises correctly. The music is a question of taste. I think this DVD is suitable for the advanced intermediate or for the advanced.
