I really didn't care for this too much. I've been spoiled by Power Kicks and Tae Bo. If I had never done those, I think I would have liked HITS better.

Lori does kickboxing punches and kicks, and also some strength work with a resistance belt (which is included with the video). It's at an intermediate level. I just couldn't get into it as much as I do Power Kicks and Tae Bo. But that's not to say someone else couldn't.

The video production quality is a little bizarre. Kind of funny, actually. Many times you will see Lori's mouth move, but she's not saying the words you're actually hearing. Other times, you'll hear words but she won't be talking. The picture quality is a little on the low end, but okay.

One thing extremely annoyed me when I previewed the tape, and that was that she has a habit of saying "ba-da-da-da-da-da" a lot. I usually am not bothered by things like that, but this got on my nerves. However, when I actually did the video, I didn't notice it much at all.

Grade B.

Instructor Comments:
Lori is a pretty good instructor. I don't know what that "ba-da-da-da-da-da" is all about, but I guess it's tolerable.
