Andrea Metcalf, 2013
New from Acacia this dvd contains 30 five minute workouts, ten each: pilates, cardio, and strength. Andrea works out alone in a nice apartment style set. You can play all of each genre, select one workout, or select a premade workout. Each routine flows into the next. You will need dumbbells for the strength workouts. Each genre has a separate warm up & cool down.

Exercises include: low back superman, roll backs, bicycle, toe drops, dips & knee ups adding a hop, side lying leg series, table top balance series, standing plies, planks, bridge, standing stretches, saw, cat cow, bird dog, and reverse plank leg raises.
I rate these routines intermediate but Andrea offers lots of modification options making these great for many exercise levels. Andrea has a nice personality and provides good cuing and form pointers. Lots of variety without complex choreo make this a very versatile dvd. Andreas poundage is fairly light but you can heavy up somewhat to up the challenge. No wasted time, and a moderate paced workout give you a real bang for your workout minute. I received this dvd to review.
