"Holy macaroni," how I love this workout! A little over a year ago, I had to face the fact that I'd outgrown Donna-Mite. It was the most fun tape I had, but just wasn't intense enough anymore. Luckily for me, CIA had this tape on sale for eight bucks in one of their circulars. Jennifer was one of the wild and crazy cast members from D-M, and after reading reviews from such discriminating reviewers as Mandy, Sue B, Maryann, and Roberta, I took the plunge. I haven't missed D-M since:)

My buddies here have described this tape in exquisite detail, so I'll just add my personal thoughts. The choreography does take some time to master, but it's great fun. Jennifer just cracks me up--if she lived in Indiana instead of Michigan, I'd certainly invite her to my next party:) Because the step routine is second on the tape rather than first, I have a hard time doing all this in one shot. Maybe one of these days, I'll be a real animal and can just whip right through it. Not yet, though:) So most of the time, I like to add in just the step routine as a "dessert" for being a good girl and doing FIRM 4 or FIRM MBS. Either one of these workouts is great for those PMS/SLUG days when I really need to exercise, but want something that feels more like dancing or partying than "working out."

This one is still available from CIA, and I think they've just dropped the price to seven bucks. Get this one before they're all gone!

Grade: A+ and ten extra points

Instructor Comments:
Mix one part of Donna Richardson's attitude and sass with one part of Kari Anderson's grace and class, and the results look like this lady:)
