Patrick Goudeau Body Weight Blast - Thoughts

Body Weight Blast is a Patrick Goudeau workout that clocks in a little bit over the hour mark.

This is an interval style workouts that features some high energy throughout the workout.
There are 8 interval segments that are 6 minutes each.
Each 6 minute interval is broken down as follows:
- 3 minutes of body weight exercises
- 2 minutes of heavy weight (dumbbells) work
- 1 minute of high intensity cardio.

Within the 3, 2 and 1 minute sets,(in several of the segments) you are often working one side of the body and then repeating the moves on the other side of the body.

Along with Patrick, there are four other cast members.  Patrick teaches this workout in his signature style.  He will start the exercise and then he often stops to coach and talk to the camera or the other cast members.
Even though I know he does this, sometimes I would find it confusing because he would start the move and as he is stopping to coach, I am thinking he is going into a different variation of the move. That was throwing me off.

The DVD does give you options. You can select:
