Yes, this video was a blast! I can't remember when I had such fun working out at home. I 'm the type that loves dancy choreography with much slower (BPM) music tempo. This video fits that bill.

A 50 minute workout, it felt like a breeze since we were putting together a routine from the very beginning. Although it was taught add-on style (aka "take it from the top") it didn't even feel like it. I found this video perfect for re-couping from a sinus infection and was provided with modifications to make it easier or more challenging.

Even though it's a little older, I've not done most of the moves executed in the video so I really give a high-5 for the creativity Petra has...her cueing was right on; her style is definitely dancy which I could tell by her gracefulness and form. I would say that the choreography was moderate, and she broke it down so well and cued precisely, "use the television leg"... As she did all this she seemed genuine and natural, not at all rehearsed or redundant.

In summary, I give this video an A for those like me, a dancy choreographer who likes to take it easy at least once a week. The only downside of this video is that a couple of combos were shown half-time which could slow an intermediate/advanced exerciser as time goes on, but I'm going to go right into the advanced move and not let my heart-rate drop. The music was motivating and the background crew looked like they were really listening to Petra and watching her every move. That's a first for me... Anyhow, thumbs up, indefinitely.
