Kari Anderson makes everything she does look deceptively easy. Her choreography and routines are well-planned in terms of intensity, logic and safety. Most of all, they are SUPER-FUN!! This tape is definitely among her best, and among the best step/hi-lo combos out there.

I generally don't like hi-lo, but I do like the hi-lo on this tape, and on all of Kari's tapes. Her hi-lo generally requires some space, more than I have available, but I change directions to accommodate the moves. I really worked up a nice sweat with this tape, but I didn't feel wiped out. My heart rate was up there throughout the tape. Even though both the step and hi-lo portions are pretty intense, you don't really notice it because you are having too much fun with the moves and the music.

I have a strong dance background and I mesh with Kari's style. Even though her routines are step and hi-lo, all the moves have a dance flavor, which I absolutely love. Some of her arm moves might seem a little awkward to people who are used to doing straight athletic tapes, but they are dance-based and fun, in my opinion.

Even though this tape is from 1993, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an hour workout of step and hi-lo, intermediate to advanced level. It is possible to modify the higher impact moves to low, and still get an excellent, intense workout.

Kari is definitely one of the top instructors out there. She exudes warmth, energy, grace and a positive attitude. I think she is underrated.
