A 45-minute boot camp style workout that includes fat burning exercises with some toning. There is also a 10-minute abdominal workout. Tracey Mallett instructs.

Intermediate exercisers. This workout is intense, but not overwhelming. You will need light (3 to 5 pound) weights — they're more for increasing the calorie burn than they are for muscle building.

Tracey Mallett blends a variety of intense athletic styles — not just boot camp — in this intense cardio workout. You get traditional boxing moves, cardio kickboxing, drills, calisthenics and some light weight training. The routine is divided into seven different segments, with imposing names like "Drill Sergeant" and "Intense Body Burn." Don't worry - they will definitely make intermediate exercisers sweat buckets, but they won't pummel you into a complete pulp. Mallett is a friendly instructor whose approach is encouraging, not mean or tough. (Although you may want to toss a few words at the TV screen when she cheerfully says "No pain, no gain!" for the umpteenth time!) Mallett leaves no muscle group unworked during this routine. That includes the abs, if you opt to do the 10-minute, "bonus" abs segment. After this almost macho workout, it's a bit of a surprise to have Mallett include more graceful Pilates-based exercises in this workout, but it's a welcome one. If you're looking to burn calories without having to tackle a complicated dance routine, this DVD will do that for you... and then some.
