CIA 2601: Cardio Step Express

Gay Gasper
Year Released: 2006

I traded for this workout because I did not want to overdose on Gay's All Out Infused Step. I love that workout (and especially the music) and was in danger of doing it too much.
Actually, I had this workout before. I just HAD to have it. I got it, tried it once, and then traded it.
Having done it 4 or 5 times now, I am not sure why I traded it.
I would say the choreography is more interesting than All Out Infused Step, but the music is not as good. The music is just a little too soft in the first half, but does become more prominent in the second half. It is decent, just not as good as her 2700 series workout.
The workout consists of two blocks with three combinations in each. You learn each block and then run through the block a couple of times. There is an option to string all the combinations together twice, making the workout 52 minutes long with warm up. The cool down is a dancy, latin style routine done on the floor.It would be very funny to actually be able to see myself attempting this one. I know what I am doing has nothing to do with what they are doing on the screen.
All the things I like about Gay's workouts are here in this workout: there's fun warm up that does not seem like a warm up; there are lots of mambos and
shuffling around the step, Gay has you do a few power moves (but not too many); and of course, her excellent cuing is there as always.
You know, I can never really judge the complexity of her workouts because her cuing is so good. I pick up her routines usually on the first try. I guess I would say this is moderately complex and the intensity is intermediate/advanced.
Another winner from Gay.
