Review:
FINALLY a "newer' FIRM that I actually like! This workout alternates short cardio intervals with weight training. Many of the cardio segments are done on the step, some are old fashioned floor aerobics. The weight segments are thorough and offer tempo changes. She will typically do 8 reps, then a two count reps, then a few 3-down, 1-up reps. The choreography is easy enough for someone with two left feet, but still interesting because she does not do the same thing too long. Her cuing is a little late early on and improves as the workout progresses.

Grade: B+

Instructor Comments:
Allie is cute without being too perky, bubbly without being overbearing.
