JessicaSmithTV: Leg Day
The name of this video is actually Legs, Butt, Hips & Thighs Workout but one of the first things Jessica says at the beginning of the workout is that it is Leg Day.

Cardio Sculpt is not a cardio workout but a metabolic strength training workout. So it is a fast paced circuit workout where one exercises flows into the next with little to no rest.
