I did this workout the other night and it was a decent burn :) I enjoyed it because the 3 elements of my workout were interspersed throughout the 30 minutes in a fairly effective complimentary way. This incorporates straight weight training for strength, dynamic & static stretching for flexibility, and plyometric body weight exercises for fast twitch and cardio.
If you have any questions about the exercises, you can email me. All exercises with weights use 8lbs- hence the name of the workout :)
