Reebok: Power Blast

Lisa Gaylord
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights) , Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I watched this video first and it's a good thing I did. Lisa doesn't cue many of the moves at all and is off count quite a bit too. I think advanced exercisers would be disappointed in this tape. I love the concept of this video but there are too many side to side steps so she can tell you what is next. The moves are fun, she does a short aerobic section then follows that with toning/power burst sections. You do squats, lunges, dips, plies, and you do the plyometric version of the moves before moving on to the next short aerobic section. She doesn't do enough of the plyometric moves to keep your heart rate up. I think this would be a very fun intermediate workout or days when you want a shorter workout. The best part of the tape is at the end, she does an unusual version of push ups and then you do regular push ups and you do 3 sets and that part got my heart rate up. I would not recommend this tape if you are interested in a high intensity workout because you won't get it with this tape.

Instructor Comments:
I really like Lisa and think she has a lot of potential but she is way off on her cuing and that makes the workout less enjoyable.
