Breakthru Cardio Step

This is a 50-minute step workout with great music and two great instructors. I am not a dancy-type person, but I can do (and like doing) dancy step tapes like Sherry Catlin's CIA tape, Method Step Up to Dance, and the Anderson sisters' tapes. However, this one just does not get me interested enough to invest the time needed to learn it. It looked fun when I previewed it, but when I tried actually doing it, I got lost during the warmup. (Always a bad sign :) ) I really don't know why I'm not inclined to try it any further -- I've been "grabbed" by other difficult tapes and WANTED to learn them. But not this one. I do not have a bad opinion of the workout, however. I can see where a lot of people would have a blast with this. The steps are new and fresh, the music keeps you motivated as do the instructors, and it's at a good intensity level (high-intermediate to advanced). So even though it didn't work for me, I still give it in A.

Instructor Comments:
I like both instructors really well. I also appreciate their creativity, but this particular workout is just not one I'm interested in investing a lot of time in to learn.
