This is a beginner/intermediate tape by Kari, and possibly an excellent introduction to Kari's style for those who want to try her but aren't experienced with more complicated choreography.

It starts with some upper body Dynaband toning, and then you move into high/low aerobics. It's fun and Kari's fun, but I like her more complex, higher-intensity tapes better. After the high/low, you do more Dynaband toning for the lower body, and then abs.

The setting is gorgeous -- an atrium with pretty plants and sunshine. And the music is superb. It's instrumental, and I don't know what "type" you would call it, but it's very upbeat and peppy.

I have to give this an A or A+ even if it's not for me. I would recommend it to all beginners and intermediates who want to work up to Kari's more advanced tapes.
