I liked this video a lot more than I thought I would. If you're looking for a video that will keep your heart rate in your target zone throughout, you'd do better to look elsewhere. On the other hand, what Calvin delivers better than anyone is giving you the feeling of rehearsing for a Broadway show.

Calvin as choreographer is funny and inspiring, and I'd love to be able to move like him. The hi/lo really felt as if I was learning a modern dance routine. Took me back to dance class days. It helped that he kept encouraging a class participant named Wendy...I sure snapped to attention when I heard him saying my name! It made me want to work harder.

The step section is a bit more traditional in that there were fewer breaks where your heart rate drops. Calvin's stylized step was fun and interesting, though will take a bit of time to learn.

I've only done this video a couple of times, but just wanted to put in my two cents on this unusual video.
