Kelly Coffey Meyer Athletic Conditioning Volume 2 - Thoughts

Athletic Conditioning Volume 2 is a 30 Minute to Fitness workout that is part of Kelly's Young Adult series.
This workout features two distinct workout.

Workout 1 is a conditioning workout where you are doing twelve exercises for 10 reps each with a relatively short break between each exercise.  You do this for three rounds.  After each round you get a brief towel and water break before the next round.

Workout 1 has around a 3 minute warm up.  It moves quick and there is not a lot of setup time for the exercise.  Throughout the workout, Kelly points out various modifications to some of the exercises that you can do in place of the move  she is performing. 

Workout 2  is an abdominal and flexibility workout and it is all floor based.  The description of this workouts talks about "fusing" the two styles together to strengthen the core and increase flexibility.  I was expecting the workout to be one core exercise followed by one flexibility exercise, but that was not the case.  Instead, there are a bunch of core exercises follow by one stretch exercise and then a bunch more core exercise followed by one stretch exercise, more core exercises and then a final stretch.
As a result, I felt is was heavy on the core and light on the stretching.  I am not saying this is bad.  It just wasn't what I expected.
There is not much of warm up for workout 2.  Each of the core exercises you are doing for approximately a minute.
