Amy Dixon Breathless Body Volume 2 The Edge - Thoughts

Breathless Body Volume 2, The Edge is another Amy Dixon workout.  This workout clocks in at around 55 minutes.  It is similar to the first Breathless Body in that it is a high intensity workout. Amy calls this workout threshold training.

Breathless Body two however seemed less repetitive to me than the first.
The workout is set up as follows: There are four intervals.  Each interval contains three drills.  Each drill consist of three rounds of three exercises that can be performed at a level one, level two or level three intensity.  You do each exercise for 30 seconds with a 15 second rest.

In the workout, Amy has one person performing level one, another person performing level two, and a third performing level three.
Amy is typically performing the level two intensity of the exercise.

After a drill is completed, you get about a minute and 1/2 before the next drill set. Amy is setting up the next drill for you during this time.
After the four intervals, Amy has you do all twelve exercises back to back without a rest.  You are working for about six minutes during this portion of the workout.

I definitely preferred this format to the format used in Breathless Body One.  I still wish that Amy had included a timer that counted down the 30 and 15 seconds.

The DVD gives you the following menu options:
