I bought the advanced dvd a long time ago, and never tried it until yesterday - I wanted to do something, but not step or real high energy hilo because I'd done legs already. It was pretty fun! I did not have the instructional dvd explaining the steps, but I just followed along with them, not picking it all up first time, of course, but I know I can (and will!)try it again. Besides that, I was alone in my basement and no one was there watching to see if I was doing it right.
