WARNING: A totally biased review coming up. I LOVE this workout and can’t understand how others could possibly disagree (smile), so keep that in mind. I am an intermediate exerciser who is inching toward advanced.

This tape transitioned me to loving complex step choreography. The choreography in this workout is pretty much intermediate, but flirts with advanced moves, especially in the third combination. Kari puts together two combinations and then combines them; she puts together two more combinations, then combines combos # 3 & 4. Then, you go through the whole routine once. The third combination is the most complex of the combinations.

The whole thing just flows for me and I find myself sweating buckets and grinning like an idiot through it. The music is fine, but nothing to shout from the rooftops about. It keeps me going through the workout. She gives a base move and then makes it more complicated. However, anytime you want to do the more simple moves, that is fine. In one part, after she has built the entire combination, Kari goes back and does the simplified version again, showing that you can do the whole thing at any level.

I highly recommend this workout! (But, I am biased…)

Instructor Comments:
I love Kari's supportive, yet challenging, way of doing a video. She gives options and makes it clear that doing the simpler version is fine. It's probably one of the reasons I learned to do more complex choreography with her.
