Hi/Lo Workout

I was hoping for another good Hi-Lo to add to my growing collection of Hi-Lo videos. Alas this one didn't fit the bill. The workout is approximately 60 minutes and includes a short abs section.

Overall the moves in the workout just didn't flow very well together. It was almost as if they combos were all separate then kind of just squished together. The transitions were bad and choppy at best. The workout is mostly higher impact with moves called a double grapevine that not a double grapevine, but a singe grape and a running move. There are some "funky" moves like "walking down the steps" which is a walking forward stooping move with funky shoulder moves. Then there are a couple of moves with arm motions like you're tooting a horn. One move I did find fun was the shuffle-turning-shuffle-double knee back. This move can really be a space hog. Toward the end of the cardio before the final run through there is a sprint section. You do lots of deep side lunges rather quickly to keep the heart-rate up. She does seem to repeat some of the combos over and over again. Not necessarily lots of from the top but lots of repeating during the combos itself.

On a whole the video really is a space hog. With lots of moving lateral and moving diagonal you really need a tad more space to be able to get into the workout. Heathers style of teaching doesn't really mesh with me. I find her very distracting. Her cutesy comments and gestures and as one VF'er said her Waitress like outfit, are very annoying over the course of this 60 minute workout. There are so many other great videos out there that I think I have to let this video go. I think this video is either you like it or don't kind of feel to it. It just wasn't for me.
