Gotta Sweat: Island Aerobics

Cory Everson, Michelle LeMay
Year Released: 1996

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I bought this video because I loved Michelle LeMay's style in the Jane Fonda videos, and decided to try something with a little "funk". Boy, was I somewhat dissapointed. Although the tape is cardio/toning, there is no continuity between each set. All of a sudden it will stop, and you don't know whether to march or keep doing what you were doing. Michelles queing is good, and she lets you get used to the moves before you go full throttle into the routine. But the most annoying part is every 5 minutes, there is a break and Cory and Michelle say the same thing.."Ready for some Island Aerobics?". Um, yeah, thats why I bought the tape. It can be really annoying. Also, Michelle has this "Hip Grinding" fettish that is somewhat goofy. I was embarassed when my husband saw this part of the video. All in all, its an ok and fun video, the last part will really kill your thighs unless you are toned. I think the only reason I use this is when I am in a crabby mood and need something totally silly, and when I want to see the beautiful Macaw sitting on the set during the whole thing. (Wonder what he thinks of all this?)
