CIA 9905: Non-Stop Workouts: Two Workouts in One

Franny Benedetto
Year Released: 1999

Categories: Step Aerobics


This video challenged me! Both the hi/low and the step are high intensity and high impact. The choreography is pretty complex, too. I really enjoy this tape! My workouts had been lacking a bit of intensity; this video is a great combination of athletic intensity and creative choreography. Can I repeat that again?? I think I am stuck on this because I find a lot of advanced cardio workouts with boring, repetitive choreography OR medium-intensity cardio with very complex choreography. This video has both!! I like that.

A couple of notes … I have to watch my knees during the step routine. There are a lot of turns; some are done very quickly. During the hi/low, there is an editing glitch and at one point, Franny omits part of one side of the combos. Both are easy enough to recover from.

I must admit this video sat on the shelf for some time before I got up the nerve to try it. The choreography and the pace just looked SO intimidating. But it’s not really! I am so thrilled to find Franny.

Instructor Comments:
This was my introduction to Franny. She is fun, creative, and a good teacher. I really like her combination of high intensity and complex choreography. I just received 9704 and am looking forward to learning that as well.
