I got this workout simply because I LOVE the Boston Marathon. She's creative and fun; but I would have to say that this is not a good as the previous tape. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good tape; just not great. The first section is hi/lo. I like the choreography in this, with 1 exception. She puts a *drill* in the middle of the routine. she says it's a break in the choreography. I don't like the break. It's boxer's hop with punches and then fast steps in place. It just doesn't fit. I like choreograhpy;that's why I bought the tape. Anyway, it's short and easily ignored. Franny also concentrates to much on the right side. I almost feel *lopsided* from learning the moves on the right and then you only do the left side a few times.

Next section is step. She uses slower tempo music than what I'm used to. The moves aren't too difficult to learn and not too dancy. Her cueing is very good(maybe that's why I can learn the moves so quickly)

All in all, it's a nice video to have. The intensity is scaled way down compared to Boston Marathon and it's use will probably for those days when you want a *relaxing, yet fun* video. I give it a "B".

Instructor Comments:
Franny is the energetic and fun.
