CIA 9704: Two Workouts with a Vengeance

Franny Benedetto
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance , Step Aerobics


Franny starts out with a 10 minute invigorating warm-up with fun moves. She then goes into 36 minutes of easy-to-learn hi/low aerobics. She does boxing moves and plyometrics which really gets your heartrate up. I guess this is an interval training type of workout. She follows with 36 minutes of step. At first I was fumbling along trying to do the pogo step but after two times around, I mastered it. She does squats, lunges across the step, a pendulum move on the side of the step (not across like Cathe), cha chas, pivots, the 'controversial' reverse turn step, the double time move over the step (like Donna Read in 9701). Time flew by with this tape. I really had a fun time, and Franny is great on all her videos. The ab section is too short, so I popped in Firm's five-day abs to finish my workout for the day. I highly recommend this tape for the intermediate-advanced exerciser.

Instructor Comments:
Franny is an excellent instructor. I have all her CIA tapes and always enjoy her routines.
