Yeah, Franny! I consider this Franny’s best tape to date. I really like the step portion of her 9905, but there wasn’t anything since then that I got really excited about. This one is awesome! Each workout follows the same pattern: 2 sections, the first with 3 combos split at the end, the second with 4 combos and no split. You don’t repeat the first section when it’s over. I like this format because it keeps things more interesting. The workouts are very intense and use advanced choreography. They leave you feeling exhausted at the end, but it’s the good kind of exhausted. I did think the introduction of new moves in the step workout was confusing – I often didn’t know what was coming – but I wasn’t ever lost for too long. And I guess I should mention, since I know many didn’t like the speed of 9905, the step workout on this tape is at a much more reasonable pace. Not slow, by any means, but not frantic either. The only thing I would change about this tape, other than perhaps the cueing already mentioned, is the music. At best, it’s boring. As good as these workouts are, they deserve better music! Grade A+.
