These specials are essentially training guides for you to follow along.
Gym equipment is not necessary, there are alternatives shown for exercises that would use them.
The routines are fairly decent and there's some useful tips given by the girls from the show as you follow along, with Machio counting your reps or time.
There are some points mentioned which are debatable, such as the breathing for squats, which is not ideal for squatting with weights, but not an issue for just bodyweight squats.
Rest times are rewarded with some nice still shots of the girls.
Overall a good follow along for anyone looking for a quick workout routine, or just worth a watch for fans of the show.
