FUN! This is a high/low workout, with each of the three instructors taking turns. Darrin starts, and his routine is very good. It is a balanced combination of high and low. Rob is next, and his routine is mostly low-impact. Rob takes WAY too long to teach his steps, though, and your heart rate will come down if you do what he does. So I turn it into high impact to keep my heart rate up. His combination, once he gets it finished, is also a lot of fun. Finally, there is my hero -- Patrick Goudeau. His workouts are so awesome! He doesn't waste any time here. He starts right in with a challenging (but not dancy) high-impact routine that is a total blast. At the end, you do all three segments together two or three times, and you're really cooking by then.

I love this workout, but I do have to criticize the middle section where Rob is teaching. I've seen him in other tapes, so I know he's no slouch -- but he is just TOO darn slow in this one. For example, do we really need to "learn" a box step and repeat it over and over? I think not. Since this is an intermediate/advanced tape, the audience knows a box step by now.

Despite the slow middle, I still have to give this one an A. (And Patrick's section gets an A++++!)

These guys are some of the most creative out there, without being too dancy or complicated. They're also very likeable.
