Instructor comments:At first I was annoyed by
Aileen's cutesy mugging for the camera, but she's really
not a bad instructor. Her cuing is good, her choreography
is fun, and her comments are encouraging without being
chatty or silly. She doesn't give many form pointers -
you just have to watch what she does. She also doesn't
tell you how to modify intensity, although she shows you
with comments like "OK now, power up!" and
moving her arms harder.
