I agree with all of the previous reviews. I love this video! I am an advanced exerciser and my fav instructors include Cathe F. and Christy Taylor. Just so you know, I had kinda lost faith in CIA videos cause their workouts have been boring and slow with lots of marching in place and such. But this one had such good reviews, that I gave into the tempation and I'm glad I did. I know the moves have been broken down so I'll just say that the choreography of both sections is interesting without being too complicated. My heartrate stayed up the whole time and music really got me going. Franny is a lot of fun and she breaks down the moves without a lot of marching in place (which really annoys me). It isn't hard to pick up (after you do it a couple of times). Best things about this video: the intensity and the music. The worst thing: the editing! Did anyone else notice there were times when the tape just flew a couple seconds ahead and you realized you were still kicking when you should've been punching? It only happened a few times, but it was really annoying. Still, a great workout.

Instructor Comments:
Franny's a lot of fun. She is able to breakdown the routines in a simple way and motivate you to keep going. I get the sense, though, that occasionally she would get lost in the middle of a routine and would start on the other leg when that wasn't correct. It was sorta funny. Still, she's great!
