I have tried to like this video but I just don't. I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't seem to flow for me. On a positive note however, there are some fun individual parts of the routine but overall I don't really care for it.

The routine is (as the title says) low impact with a few jumps and leaps inserted in which really helps to create more intensity. I was three-fourths of the way through the workout before I even broke a sweat. Maybe low impact is by nature not going to be as intense as step, for example, but on a perceived exertion chart I was barely even a 1.

This is a dancy workout. I felt like I was back in high school learning a dance routine for a half-time show. So all you VF'ers that don't like dancy videos, don't go near this one. Some of the combos I liked were a chasse', 3 step turn, 2 double time jumps, 2 leaps and 2 step touches pulling your opposite arm across your body. It's hard to describe well but this part is especially fun when he puts it all together. There is a power scissor-like move which when put into the routine is a little fast but still a fun move.

The routine becomes more intense as he adds some impact to the combos but it's not soon enough because the video is almost over by then.

I give it a C.

Instructor Comments:
Andre is a very upbeat instructor. His cueing is okay once you know what the steps are that he is referring to but learning some of this tape was frustrating. He used different terminology than what I am accustomed to. For example, he called two hamstring curls heel lifts. One other flub was he says step on your right foot and come to me. Okay...what does that mean? March forward? As it turns out this is a step with two knee lifts moving forward, then switch to the other foot and do the same. He doesn't refer to the knee lifts until much later in the routine.
