The setting for all workouts is outdoors. Miranda is the only cast member.
The four workouts are:

Pain Relief workout is design to increase your mobility with the hope of gaining relief from any pain you may be experiencing. This workout uses a chair during the barre segment.  The run-time of this workout is 34:20.

Body Shape
1:20 - warm up starts
3:45 - toning roll ups, pectoral
8:40 - side to side flexion
10:15 - quad plies
14:15 - lunges
17:15 - arms
20:15 - lower legs
23:45 - floor work (lying side leg lifts, crunches)
29:50 - floor work (seated stretches)

Body Shape clocks in around 34:30.  Miranda states that muscle is what gives your body shape and that this workout is a step above beginner. She called it an intermediate level workout. 

In a lot of ways, you are simply watching Miranda and following along as best you can.  These workouts are challenging especially if you try to mimic what she is doing and going into each move thoroughly. At times, parts of the workout moves slowly or Miranda breaks her instruction in the middle of the exercise with a thought that pops into her head (usually she is emphasizing a point in the move you are performing) but when she does this - you feel like you are unnaturally stopping and starting the movement. If you normally work out with Miranda  you know that she does this quite often.    Since I am use to her doing this, I will just continue the movement and then wait for her to start the next rep or sequence.
