When I first previewed this tape I couldn't keep my eyes off of the dancers in the background...the workout takes place in a club-like atmosphere with "sexy" dancers to boot...I wasn't too sure how I would like the video since I found that so silly...
Well, I love this workout! I don't notice the silliness going on the background while I'm working out with Petra and her 2 friends...this workout is a lot of fun...there are dance moves but if I can get them in 2-3 tries then anyone can...
Petra and the 2 women exercising with her seem to have a lot of fun with each other...they have a good rapport but don't say too many silly things to get on your nerves after a while...they concentrate on the workout and having fun...
The music goes well with the club-like atmosphere...normally I am not a fan of music like this but I do happen to like it in this video...
Collage rates this workout as intermediate...I personally think beginners to low intermediates would get the best workout with it...it gets me in my target heartrate zone but it is definitely one of my easier cardio workouts...it's perfect to add with a harder cardio tape, with a strength tape or just to do on one of those days you don't feel too well but want to workout a bit...
Also, I modify some of the moves since I don't have too much room to the front and back of me when I workout...plus you need to be able to do a bit more than a grapevine side to side...all in all this workout doesn't require too much room but if you live in a shoebox dorm room it might not be for you...
Ignoring the stupid background I give this workout an A!
