CIA 6001: Dynamix
Lynne BrickYear Released: 1995
Categories: Step Aerobics
This has the same format as 1-2-3 Workout, but not as
tough (though still pretty advanced). The neat thing
about 6001 is that each half-hour segment is divided into
two separate combos, so you can choose to do just half of
a segment, making this very versatile and easy to learn.
Lynne Brick is a very pleasing and professional
instructor, with a Voight-esque body and form, but her
dance choreography doesn't really turn me on. Instead of
innovative new steps, she takes basic steps and adds
corny embellishments like arm waving and hip grinding. I
know she's just trying to have fun, but the goofing
around doesn't do much for me. Also, as someone else
said, the hi/lo needs a LOT of room. Lynne really excels,
however, in the Body Bar/dumbell toning segment. Like
Karen Voight, Lynne spices it up with simple dance moves
like squatting back and forth while doing rows. I also
like how she does brief stretches between sets. The first
half of the toning works arms and legs; the second half
concentrates on the abs and back. These would be great to
alternate on different days if you're short on time.
While I'm not big on the cardio, the strength workout
alone is worth the price of the tape, and I'd like to see
Lynne put out more strength workouts.
