Disappointing
This video was a disappointment. It begins by showing several exercises with about five reps each. It then shows each exercise done for 15 reps then 12 reps then 8 reps, the next exercise, 15, 12, 8, the next, 15, 12, 8 and on and on, and all from the same camera angle. Much better would be to introduce an exercise with about five reps, show it from the side then from the back. Show it a couple of more times pointing out specific parts of form that should be observed, "make sure to do this, do that, do the other". Then show it a few times done wrong, "don't do this, don't do that, and don't do this other". Having done this they could then instruct the viewer to do each exercise for 15 reps, then 12, then 8. Here they offer five minutes of information crammed into an hour video.
