Summary: Ok workout but a little slow...
Comment: I agree with another reviewer that "cardio" should be taken out of the title of this. The reviews of this are so good but it just did not do it for me. I have too many other dvds that are more motivating. All I can say is that it is a little slow if you are a high energy cardio addict like me. I have had it for many months but have only done it once. I even put it in this morning to give it another try and the preview was so boring I could not hit play. I liked the idea of cardio/toning/pilates/yoga fusion, but as I said it is a little slow. For a toning fusion with higher energy I recommend Crunch's Burn & Firm Pilates.

Summary: Excellent for beginners, but not too easy
Comment: This was my first foray into workout DVDs, but I live in a big city and walk everywhere, so I was in reasonable shape. I tried the 30-minute "express workout" and it was perfect- simple to learn but not boring, because Tanja gives such great cuing without being cheesy. And it's definitely a workout- I was pouring sweat by the end!
One of my favorite things about this DVD is that she keeps such a great rhythm with the music that it's easy to get back on track if you make a mistake, and you can also drop out for a couple reps on the more challenging moves and then get right back in with the rhythm.
The only minor problem I have is with the yoga-stretch cool down- she doesn't explain some of the positions very well, so if you've never done yoga before (like me), you just have to try and follow her body as best you can. But if you're familiar with yoga it would probably be easy, or you can just do your own cool-down stretches.
This is a great DVD for beginners, and I'm sure more advanced people could enjoy it, too.

Summary: Great Series
Comment: I actually bought all 3 of Tanja's DVD's. Balance Ball, Total Body Cardio, and Cardio Balance Ball. I love these workouts! Her form is excellent and cueing is great. She's funny too and not annoying, most importantly she's motivating. These workouts are not super advanced which I am used to but you can make them advanced by adding light weights and really concentrating on tightening your core. These workouts are so refreshing, you'll do movements that you may not of tried before but are super effective and the one thing I noticed is that she is constantly challenging your balance and your core. This theme is throughout all 3 of the DVD's. The filming is excellent, no cheesy elevator music here. It is instrumental music but has enough of a beat to keep you motivated. The filming location is just absolutely breath taking. I don't know where these were filmed but think National Geographic gorgous back drop, not your usual studio background with fake plants. Overall I would have to say that this is a must have in anyone's fitness home DVD collection. I know I will come back to these time and time again. The price is such a great deal for such a thourough full body workout.

Summary: Makes you sweat
Comment: This a great workout to build up the muscles in your legs and shoulders. It combines Cardio, Yoga and Pilates. It is pretty challenging, and can be even more challenging if you add weights.
