CIA 6002: The Future Workout
Roberto Melani, Calvin WileyYear Released: 1995
Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance , Step Aerobics
This workout contains three segments plus a warmup and cooldown, for a total length of 2 hours.
The first workout is high/low. Calvin teaches a very dancy routine first and then Roberto teaches a slightly dancy but more athletic routine. Then the two are combined. I found Calvin's part dancier than what I can handle, so I got frustrated.
Next is Planet Step with Roberto. I really like this, and I'm keeping this tape solely for this section. I think Roberto is better at putting together step routines than high/low, judging from this tape and the other CIA tape that he's on. This section is a lot of fun, and there are power moves that you can do or not do depending on how you're feeling that day. I plan to do this 30-minute segment in conjunction with strength work or another short cardio workout.
Finally, there's Bust A Move, which is a funk workout by Calvin. This is way out of my league, so I didn't even try it. Calvin is fascinating to watch, though.
Funk enthusiasts will probably rate this tape an A or A+, but for someone like me who can handle a little bit of dance, but is extremely funk-impaired, you probably won't like it (except for Roberto's Planet Step).
Instructor Comments:
Calvin is definitely a dancy kind of guy. I
can't keep up with him, but dancers will
probably adore him. Roberto is a mixture
of danciness and athleticism, so he was
easier for me to follow.
