Certified instructor description: Pure aerobic intervals that cycle through three intensity levels. You'll maximize fat-burning — and maximize motivation — by "pushing your body to the limit," then enjoying a soothing recovery period. Each segment has the same sequence: "base," "ascent," "climb" and "peak." The low-impact "base" interval is the easiest. Then it's "ascent" and "climb"—they're mixed impact and faster-paced, with more varied combos. The final block is "peak" — challenging, higher-impact moves designed to leave you breathless (but don't worry; you're quickly back to that well-deserved recovery interval). Excellent cuing with lots of motivational techniques (e.g. a countdown timer, a "half-way done" whistle). ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Michelle's Peak 10 More Cardio Interval Burn

Not for me
I've tried this video a couple of times now and concluded it's not for me. I've liked Michelle's past videos (I think Pilates for Dummies was the first workout video I ever bought!) and I'm at a high intermediate workout level. I found this workout to have too much choreography and it's too dance-like. She switches moves so quickly that I found it hard to follow and I never felt like I was able to fully extend. I didn't get very tired because the peak was nowhere near as difficult as many of the HIIT workouts I do. It even aggravated a slight leg injury I have, which no other workout has done (and I do Cathe, Jari, Kelly, Jillian....). I can understand the appeal but I'm giving mine away. - posted by Taryn on 5/20/2013
Love This W.O.
I really like the intervals for each peak. Challenging but fun! - posted by Chester on 5/19/2013
Leaves You BREATHLESS!!
This workout is for the advanced exerciser. I loved it. Took a couple times to figure out the patterns but I'm not very coordinated. - posted by Wendy on 5/19/2013
Burn baby burn!!!
I came close to sending this one back but glad I didn't! I am a fan of Cathe Friedrich, Karen Voight, Kelly Coffey-Meyer, Jessica Smith, and Gin Miller. I was looking for a high intensity low impact workout and even though I knew this workout was a little more than I was searching for, I purchased it anyway. I love it!! It took me a few times but I can get through 4 of the 5 sessions. Each session has 2 peaks because you do the exercises on the right, well, you have to do them on the left. Intense and fun!! Michelle is a great instructor and tells you if you have to stop, stop! Walk around catch your breath and rejoin in when you can. I started off by doing the first 2 sessions which is 4 peaks, then I'd either do weights or Cathe Friedrich's stretch max, or even pilates!!! Go at your comfort level but don't give up. You will love this dvd but caution that this is an advanced workout! - posted by Bridgette on 5/7/2013
Fun and tough
This is a great video. Lots of unusual and fun moves, good incorporation of core into floor work. I like the variations from low to high and then the peak blasts that really challenge you. A keeper. - posted by Muna on 3/7/2013
Great Workout
I usually run 8-10k 2-3 times per week and do weight tapes in between. When it's too cold or raining I use my elliptical. I purchased this tape because I wanted some variety for my cardio days. I am not a dancy person at all (definitely have two left feet LOL) and I always worry about being able to do the moves and get a good workout in at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised that, after watching the dvd once through, I was able to mostly do the moves. I found this to be an advanced level, fun and do-able workout for those days that I can't get out to run. I look forward to doing it again soon. - posted by Maria on 2/5/2013
Fun, fast, & fantastic!
I was intimidated at first by how fast the workout started out, but once I finished it and have performed the workout a few times...I LOVE IT! It's got great pump-you-up music and the choreography is entertaining...a definite boredom buster! - posted by Cindy on 2/2/2013
Great workout!
I love this workout! I've done a couple of other interval training DVD's as well as outdoor workouts with varying intensity so I'm not new to this type of exercise. But this is my first Michelle Dozois DVD and I really like her style. It's a great combination of a challenging workout that is fun and motivating. I am an intermediate level exerciser, with the ability to do a more advanced workout. This workout can be easily modified if you want to really "peak" and get your heart rate up, or stay more moderate. - posted by Stephanie on 1/31/2013
Not a favorite
I like to look forward to my work outs, especially for how early I exercise, and this one I just can't get into. I think the choreography is more complex, there are no real rest periods nor are there any real modifiers and the music is club music, which I don't like. I would love to exchange this dvd for something else in a heartbeat! What I absolutely love is Amy Dixon's Breathless Body-on the Edge.....complete opposite with time to get your heart rate down, real modifiers, and she explains the future moves really well which are not complex, and the music is pleasant. Just an all in all great work out that I look forward to and feel great afterwards! - posted by Beth on 1/26/2013
Ok
Routine was easy to follow, but did not keep my interest - posted by Christal on 1/25/2013

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
