I'm a low intermediate exerciser, getting back on the regular exercise wagon. And let me start by saying I hate cardio. There. No IMAX, Step Reebok, or other stuff for me. That said, I need to do more of it. I thought this short workout would fit the bill, but it wasn't quite what I expected.

On the plus side, I really liked the music. I also find lunges and steps on the incline to work my legs in different areas than the normal step.

But I had a horrible time following the steps. I'm not a TIFTer, but I do need a little of it. I ended up doing some stuff on the floor because it was just too much to get my two left feet to follow. No instruction was given for any of the steps you view from the side, and I had a hard time keeping up.

The choreography was definitely not standard FIRM fare, which I actually prefer because I don't like to think during workouts. ;-) I also found the multicolor set just a little too much, but it was a short workout.

Even with the lack of cuing and confusion created by semantics (one reviewer already talked about the Mambo Left Side), I still got a decent workout.

I give this one a B-, to be used only when following a rotation.

Instructor Comments:
Lisa looked great in this workout, but I wish she'd given more instruction on the moves.
