Once again, I am in the minority about a popular workout. What can I say? I just didn't like it. I'm surprised I didn't like it! I got it in a trade so there's at least one other person who didn't like it either. For the record I consider myself an intermediate exerciser. This is my first FitPrime workout.

The Good:
Tracie is a wonderful instructor. Calm, cheerful, professional - I've always liked her. The music is pretty good. They did try to be creative with the moves.

The Bad:
It seemed really EASY to me. I had hardly broken a sweat after a half hour. I didn't use the hand weights. But I don't use hand weights with the UR workouts and I sweat like crazy and get beet red in the face. Maybe it seemed easy because I just came off of eight weeks of Slim Series. But I would never refer to this as advanced.

The weight work was superflous and seemed like pointless interruption of the rebounding. I'm not coordinated enough to step on and off my rebounder so quickly. The step-ups felt really awkward. And there's no way I'm jumping on and off my rebounder. I've worked too hard to get my knees back into working order. That stuff looked dangerous to me. In fact, the evening after I did this workut my left knee was sore. Not a good sign.

I can't comment on the ab work, yoga, etc. because I had to stop. Life is too short to waste time on a workout I'm not enjoying.

The Ugly:
What's with that set? Tracie is wedged into a corner. The set decor is "trailer park with pretensions". And my biggest (and most petty) gripe: What's with Tracie's outfit? It looks like something I wore in high school gym class in the 70's! Tracie is a beautiful woman with an amazing figure. Dress her like the gorgeous creature that she is!!!

Instructor Comments:
Tracie gives a lot of form pointers. Strangely, she says to land on your heels. Other rebounding instructors say to land on your toes. I guess you have to find what is most comfortable for you.
