Shame, shame shame that this isn't at least a FAVORITE! It's certainly one of my favorite tapes for a light day. For one, when Jen Carmon says lo-impact, that's exactly what she means (unlike Janet J-G, Allie Strickland...)! Second, the music is THE best I have ever heard on an aerobic tape (well, to be fair I only have 27! :+) It is motivating and I just love it love it love it! I am an Intermediate, and the first time I did this tape I was horribly frustrated at the low intensity level and the choreography, but the more I did the tape, the more it began to grow on me! I did the tape yesterday after I had done PS Legs & MIC Sect I the day before, and it was good to follow up the next day with a lower intensity workout.. The other thing I like about the tape is that most of the aerobic work is in the first half of the tape, and the toning intervals can also be slightly aerobic. Once the tape slows down and you go to the floor, I usually stop unless I didn't do another tape before this one. I add it to another low- impact tape or strength tape. The hover squats with the dowel are killers, but I've obviously been working hard because now they only burn slightly. The ab section is okay, I like the bridge work (which is kinda long compared to the rest of the sections), and the warm up is also pretty long (my VCR said about 6 minutes) compared to the FIRM's recent trend for 3 minute warm ups. I think a Beginner or Intermediate would be best suited for this work-out. As can be seen from the reviews, most Advanced exercisers were pretty upset. But hey, it is a "Basic" beginner level work-out!
