How can I describe this workout? Million times FUN and that is not enough. Although now I can do only half of the Hi/Lo section, it requires more strength and balance than I have. This is something to work up to and I set it as my fitness goal. (I just don’t accept to myself that I have two left feet:~))

The first time I watched the step section, I was almost on the verge of desperation. I decided to try anyway and it is a blast! To my surprise, I find that the step section is easier to learn than Hi/Lo. I still have difficult time to keep up with his fast pace (I am an intermediate exerciser). When the heart rate check comes, I am always a little over 85% of my max HR. But it does not intimidate me, rather it makes me feel exhilarating. This workout is so much fun that you don’t realize how much you exert yourself.

The third section is body sculpting. It fits into my rotation because I always set aside one day for light weight. I like when he does lunges off the step like a curtsy. It has many lunges on and off the step.

Instructor Comments:
There are mixed opinions about this tape. But every reviewer agrees that Patrick is a great instructor. That says much in itself. He is natural, warm, never lack words of encouragement, and above all, creative! I like him so much that I ordered all three G-force (except Funk) and I will buy every tape he delivers. By the way, Patrick is the instructor who can do grapevines most gracefully I’ve ever seen. I wish I can imitate, but I don’t have those calves (or rather, those entire legs!)
