I like advanced, high impact cardio without dancy intricate choreography, and this workout definitely fits the bill! There are several (5 maybe?) shorter combos with a few intensity blasts in between. No TIFTT, just straight forward athletic style combos. Don't get me wrong...it isn't easy. There are some fast feet moves, a few pivot-y moves that I modified, plyo jacks...lots of variation to keep it interesting but I was able to get most of the choreography the first time through. The first few combos are done with a verticle step, then the step is turned to the regular horizontal position for the rest of the workout. If you have bad knees ore dislike high impact, stay far away from this one! I usually do step on 8 inches, but I had to take it down to 6 due to the impact. At the end, there is some standing ab work, mostly side reaches, bow & arrows, and some fast punches. I wish it were longer & more varied, but still a nice change from traditional abs or pilates moves. There are definitely kickboxing influences in this workout, which was very appealing to me. Through most of the workout the cueing was quite good, though there was one point when she was calling a side kick a "knee up" and I kept getting confused! No biggy though. The music was typical instrumental techno-y aerobics music...not particularly good or bad. It is filmed in a typical CIA set, and there are several (maybe 5?) background participants along with Kelly. It is a very fast paced routine, though I can't determine the BPM. It would normally be a good speed for me, but was a little difficult since I was not familiar with the routine & some of the terminology used in cueing. I would definitely rate this as advanced, mainly for the high impact, but there are also a few tricky foot patterns.

Instructor Comments:
I really like her...she's very encouraging and motivating without a single "woop"! She seemed a little more reserved at the beginning of the workout but further on she seemed much more relaxed & upbeat. I like her style of teaching a lot & I hope she continues to make more workouts
