CIA 2205: Two Workouts in One (Knockout Hi/Lo & Stepped Up Step)

Debbie Burns, Ann Saldi
Year Released: 2002

Doing this in 2006, it's funny to hear old cues; for example Ann doesn't call a revolving door as such. I think she said "over, and over again." I would have liked to see more enthusiasm from her, but calmness may just be her style. Her cueing is not flawless, but quite good.
Debbie cues a jab-cross combo as "jab-punch." I had to get used to that! Debbie's workout is billed as hi/lo with boxing, so I expected a fusion of both. Flying jacks followed by jab-crosses? No. Is it boxing alone? No. There were kicks. It's a kickboxing workout. The cueing here is also not flawless, but her energy makes up for that. The tough grrl headscarfs are a fun wardrobing touch. Rating: B

Instructor Comments:
Ann Saldi (step) is calm, composed and friendly. Debbie (hi/lo boxing) is more charismatic. Both deliver good workouts.
