I am probably in the minority but these workouts were not for me and I traded them away after trying them only once. These were my first Andres videos but I had recently attended his live step class at Cardio Classic in SF. The choreography was tough but I made it through. Andre's great personality and enthusiasm were very motivating for me and his music was great.

Overall I don't think these workouts are bad but they're just not for me. I thought the step video was better than the hi-lo. when I previewed this video for the first it looked so fun because of the danciness and innovative choreography. However, there was so much emphasis on the choreo that I barely worked up a sweat at all. To be fair, in between combos Andre does throw in a few power moves, but it just wasn't enough. The moves didn't really flow for me and after a while I stopped and put in another tape. I would say this is low intermediate in intensity, good for people who love dancy workouts and aren't looking for high intensity. There are lots of turns and hip swinging moves. I didn't try the ab workout. Some videos just don't click for me and I know I won't do them again, which is why I traded this immediately.
