Hi/Lo Fusion

This hi-lo workout is a bit of a space hog when done as Rob and the "ladies" do it, but if you take out the turns and direction changes it doesn't require more room than your average cardio workout. It is a series of 4 combinations, which are taught relatively quickly. (It seems from the few times I've done this one so far that certain combinations and moves have more time spent on them than others.) I like the quickness of the teaching--I don't think I'll be bored too soon...
There are 4 background exercisers, all women, dressed pretty scantilly in low cut pants and teeny tops. They don't mess up much, and seem to be having a fun time dancing around. And this is a pretty dancy routine, I think. Lots of mambos, cha-chas, chasses (or is it sashays??). In between the chorographed moves are marches in place and hamstring curls, but these are not done for long and usually become part of the routine. I believe the first three combos are taught in the first 30 minutes, along with the dancy warm-up, and then after the heart rate check you do the first three together again, learn combo #4, and then put it all together. The DVD version has a chapter where all 4 combos are strung together, but I don't even think it lasts more than a couple of minutes--so its not like Cathe's Rhythmic Step Challenge or even Christi's Totallies Bonus Cardios.

It's fun. I like Rob well enough. But there is something about this workout that makes me think I won't do it all that often.

Instructor Comments:
Rob is comfortable in front of the camera, energetic and pretty fun to work out with.
Although he comes up with some fun choreography, he is not the best at cueing. Sometimes he just doesn't cue at all. This gets a little irritating, especially when he calls out to his background exercisers, "what's next" and they answer him, but WE can't hear them...
