I Loooove it. I usually do the gaunlet in the weekend.This is the DVD chaptering - Cathe Friedrich: The Terminator
This DVD contains three “parts” workouts compiled from IMAX2, Cardio & Weights, Boot Camp, and Muscle Endurance. There are no ab/core work segments on this DVD. Each segment has a chapter number, so you could use this DVD to program your own circuit workouts. There are no additional premixed combos on this DVD. The footage on this DVD includes:
* all of IMAX2
* most of Cardio & Weights (all but the heavy upper body work and abs)
* about half of Boot Camp
* about half of Muscle Endurance
Cathe uses dumbbells for all of the CW compound exercises. For BC or ME exercises that can be done with either a barbell (bb) or dumbbells (db), I’ve indicated whether Cathe uses a barbell or dumbbells for that segment.
The Gauntlet
This workout contains six cycles of: one IMAX2 interval, one BC lower body exercise, one CW compound exercise, one BC upper body exercise, and one BC cardio segment. The intervals from IMAX2 include the step, interval, and recovery segments (sometimes the recovery is cut short!).

* The recovery time for interval 4 is only 15 seconds. For some reason, it was cut short! The recovery time for interval 10 is only 10 seconds. On the IMAX2 DVD, the cooldown starts after 10 seconds of recovery from interval 10, and this was the cutoff point for this segment. This workout doesn’t have a final cooldown. Note: for the BC segments, you’ll only be doing the exercise itself for about 60 seconds.

I also love The Terminator DVD and tend to do them on the weekends, when I have more time. If you love circuits, you'll love these. IMAX Extreme (which I just did this past weekend) is less circuit-like than the other two. It's mostly IMAX 2 and C&W Cardio.

I too generally do this workout on the weekends when I have more time. I think most of the workouts are about 1hr 10 min long or maybe a bit longer. I love this DVD. Do you already have the Intensity Series? If not, I'd get that first but I think you definitely should get the Terminator DVD.
Hope that helps, Wendy
Mariangeles-I KNEW you'd chime in on this thread since you're the Terminator Junkie(Seriously, I think she's addicted to this DVD)

Thanks to all of you for your information. Sounds like I really have to get this DVD. Your right as far as time wise sounds like I better save it for the weekend, what a great way to start your weekend!! Thanks guys!!

I usually save this one for the weekend too, but I have noticed during Gauntlet, I think she repeats some segments from C&W, so if pressed for time, I will skip through the repeats. The only thing I do not like about the Terminator workouts is that they do not have any core/ab work in them, so I usually add some in. I think it is still fabulous and home Hardcore extreme is similar!

this is my favorite dvd... with the gauntlet being my favorite workout and the viper my second favorite (i like imax extreme.. but not as well as the other two!)
i do manage to do them during the week before work if i plan the night before and get up a few minutes early to make up for the extra time! (especially the viper since it's 1 hour 20 min!) if i do it on a weekend i'll add some abs in at the end!)
you will NOT be disappointed in this dvd!
