Cardio Split 1 by the FIRM

yes, it's worth it
as lorrayne wrote (hi lorrayne!) previously, CS 1 is a compilation of parts taken from super sculpting and super cardio. it is divided into two segments, upper body and lower body. there are three cycles in each segment, one cardio followed by one strength exercise. you can break the tape up, doing one segment one day and the other on another day. or you can do both on the same day. i'd rather do both on the same day since the tape is only 50 minutes in length.
i like to do this tape on a cardio day or when i really don't want to go heavy or long on a strength workout. CS 1 is definitely an endurance workout. i received my copy through the exchange, but if the tape costs ~$20, it's worth every penny IMHO.

Cardio split I
Just adding my opinion: I think Cardio split I is definitely worth it! The music is great, the workout is fun (though I do modify some things, like back rows done from a sitting position--not really working the back at the best angle--which I turn in to bent-over roww). Definitely one of the better "new" Firms.

I like this one too-
What I like to do is do half of it, and then use the rest of my workout time to learn choreography. That way I get a little strength, and most likely enough cardio (really that depends on what I am learning). For someone with more time, I am certain you could do both halves (it isn't that intense) and somone who picks up choreography quickly would have no need for my suggestion. I am very slow to learn choreography, but have found that using this method I am pretty good with my Cathes and Karis. The others are taking more time.

Cardio Split 1: Love it, Love it!
I love this video. It is one of my favorites -- I love the alternations between cardio and weights. The cardio is not real intense, like Cathe's, but I never feel like I've cheated when I do it!
