**This review is for doing the video once, not four times as recommended.**
This is a pretty nice PIIT routine. I like that it’s a mixture of Pilates and cardio moves, but actually I wish the video had started with cardio to warm up a little. Doing squeeze lunges right from the get go is really tough!
But that’s really the only move that’s really grueling; the cardio moves are intense, but the strength moves are not so bad. Having them sprinkled in between the cardio moves make this workout not so bad.
The moves are pretty easy to do, and the video is easy to follow, so I think this workout would be fine for beginners, provided you don’t have any injuries to your knees or shoulders. The combination of strength and cardio makes this a great, well-rounded workout, so I highly recommend it!
