I'm not sure why I bought this since I have never
liked Henner. Maybe I wasjustdesperate for something new.
Henner says she has taught dance and she does showeach
dance'sstep in slow motion, but I've had a lot of trouble
learning them---especiallysince I really, really,really
do not like the music which I can't even categorize: to
my untrained ear,in most of thesegments it sounds as if
they're repeating the same four or 8 bars over andover
and over andover and over and over.....
Henner works out with her brother and sister-in-law,
each working at adifferent level.There are three dance
segments. The third has two sequences of steps with a
skipand then a hopwhich I couldn't get, and the
"fast" version of one routine can't be
doneslowly...but otherwisethe simpler versions will work
ok. Henner also has her own ideas about preparingfor the
workoutand about food which you may or may not find
useful. The nicest thing I can sayabout this tape isthat
Henner is often breathless, which makes me feel much
better. (In all myother tapes, theinstructors seem able
to workout at high intensity levels without getting
theirpulse rates up by asingle beat.)
