This review is geared toward the intermediate exerciser. I'm a low intermediate when it comes to cardio, but I like challenging choreography. I also prefer low impact aerobics, but I don't mind a jumping jack and a leap every once in a while. I usually enjoy step more than hi/lo. I bought this video because of the positive reviews of other VFers. I've done the step and hi/lo sections each 8 times before writing this review.

Overall this is a well taught, fun video for intermediates. This video can be done mostly low impact. You do have to do some hop turns and jumps during the step section, but these are minimal. The step section seems fast to me, but that's because the steps in the 1st part flow together so well that I find I never stop moving. I get such a good workout from the step section. It's 40' long and I'm always exhausted at the end of it. The hi/lo section is fun too. I find I have to do some of the moves high impact to get my heart rate up. I do this video on carpet. I just modify the swivels and turns.
The choreography is fun and interesting, as other reviewers have said. The moves flow well together. It took a lot of effort for me to learn some steps, but it was 100% worth every minute. It's also not lopsided as some CIA tapes can be. You learn and 'perform' the moves almost equally on both sides.
The limitations of this video:
CUING: Faith's cuing is pretty good, but often she doesn't tell you which leg to lead with when she puts combos together. Also, at the end of both the step and hi/lo sections she forgets to teach steps on both sides, then remembers to do it later when you're putting everything together and she stops in the middle to teach again. This is a bit of a letdown when you're really working hard and having fun putting everything together. It lowers the intensity and the momentum.
TIMING: The 1st half of both the step and hi/lo sections are really enjoyable. You get to do the routines several times in their entirety. But during the 2nd half of the step and the hi/lo sections, things are not as tightly woven together. At times Faith seems rushed to teach something, at other times she repeats an easy move. You only have time to do the combos in the second part of both the hi/lo and step once in their entirety.
This tape is definitely worthwhile for an intermediate exerciser. It's interesting and challenging. If Faith had cued a little better and taught the 2nd half of each section quicker and tighter, it would have been an A+. At this point it's an A-.

Instructor Comments:
Faith is a very good instructor. For the most part she cues well, but sometimes she doesn't use "right leg, left leg," when I really need it. Her moves are flowing and graceful, even when she's doing high impact. She's inspiring.
