Project: You - Foundations

Kathy Smith
Year Released: 2005

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


This is the "beginner" cardio workout from the Project You set.
It is a half hour of mostly low impact (there are a few boxer shuffles that have a bit of impact) steady-state cardio workout. There is nothing fancy here. It is divided into little sections such as kickboxing, lunge pyramids, shuffles, etc. It is basic choreography with little combination building.
I prefer more complex step, but with floor cardio I find I tend to like simpler stuff.
I do workouts that are rated "advanced", but by I don't choose workouts based on what level they are rated. I just like to do things that seem fun or entertaining enough and manage to get my heart rate up.
This workout is actually more intense than I thought it would be. As the "beginner" workout I imagined it would be appropriate for a novice. I am not sure that is the case. On the other hand, I have never followed the modifier so perhaps it is.
The set is pleasant and bright and Kathy, as usual, is warm and encouraging. She engages all the video participants.
The music is instrumental. I liked it, but I am not one to really enjoy having recognizable songs in workout DVDs.
It has already been stated that all the cardio workouts are similar in this set. That is true, but I find enough differences for it not to bother me.I like all three cardio workouts, but probably use Power Push the most. Power Push and Foundations are the most similar. Long and Lean is a little dancier and does not include kickboxing moves.
I have never done the set as intended, just use the workouts ad hoc.
