I've had this since it first came out a year-and-a-half ago, and really like it. The first few times I did it, I felt like it wasn't very hard, but once I started doing it with weighted gloves, the workout became much harder.Tracey's cueing is not the best and she doesn't always give you enough lead time before a new move, but I like her personality and she makes the workout fun.The workout is actually co-taught by her and Josef, which makes it more fun, too.
There are 12 "strikes" (or sections total), which includes two warm-up sections and a cooldown stretch.The workout stops between each section to display a note telling you which "strike" is coming next.This annoyed me at first since my heartrate drops during these breaks, but I've been using them to job in place or do jumping jacks.
I'm used to doing Cathe Friedrich's and Amy Bento's kickboxing workouts, which are much more challenging than this one, but I like to do this one by Tracey on days when I want a fun, solid workout that will get my heartrate up without absolutely killing myself.;-)

Product Description:
Are you ready to enter the Strike Zone? Leave your skirts at the door because this workout is for those who want to feel empowered! This is a REAL Kickboxing workout. You won't find any aerobics instructors bouncing around in the Strike Zone. Tracey will train you to fight, focus and feel your own power unleash. There is nothing complicated about the Strike Zone, the moves are easy, it's up to you to provide the power. Traceys offers the challenge, it is up to you to take the journey.STRIKE ZONE begins with an upper body warm up that leads to the lower body, lasting about 10 minutes. You'll feel your body heating up and preparing itself for combat. Tracey instructs you on how to correctly execute the moves, but it's up to you to practice.After you're sufficiently warmed up, Tracey begins the program. You'll be challenged with eight different tracks - each one focusing on something different. Some of them will tire you out and others will fire you up. Then & only then, will you be ready to unleash your inner warrior - the last track is your ultimate challenge. Will you be left standing or will someone need to pick you up off the ground? That is up to you!Are you ready for the Strike Zone? Strap on your gloves (weighted if you're really daring) and get busy!
