Christi Taylor Happy Hour Hi/Lo

This workout has already been broken down thoroughly, so I will just post my impression. Overall, I really liked this workout! Christi’s enthusiasm just shines through! It is so rare to run into a pure fun floor aerobics routine that isn’t all plyo, HIIT, and high impact. While there is some impact, it is mixed in throughout, and easily modified to lower impact if that is what your mind and body need for the day. Christi cues great in her “watch me” style, and is great at showing hand cues, as usual. She layers moves, and reminds you that you can go back to the previous move or cut out the spins or arm routines if they confuse you. While her style in this one is more athletic than dancy, she does throw in some dancy moves. And with Christi’s workout, you always feel like you’re dancing, even when you don’t get the moves completely right. There are a lot of directional changes in this workout and some TIFTing, but not too much. The hi/lo routine was followed by an ab section, consisting of traditional crunches and plank moves for around 10 minutes. If you love Christi, I think you’ll really like this workout.

What I Liked
This is a pure fun hi/lo workout! I liked that there were actual high and low impact portions throughout the routine, no bursts or endless sessions of high impact.

What I Didn’t Like
After the perceived exertion test, I thought we would go into another, completely different routine. We didn’t. We did the same routine as we did previously, and then added a short new section at the end. Although this wasn’t a deal breaker, I wish there had been two shorter, different routines.

What You Should Be Aware Of
Mixed impact, so be ready to modify if need be. Modifying may take the intensity down several notches, so make those arm movements big! Planks are included in the ab section briefly, so be prepared to modify if you have bad wrists.

Instructor Comments:
Christi is warm and enthusiastic! An excellent cuer.
