I have been doing all my "shorter" videos because its all that I have time for these days, with a 10 month old daughter, and a full time job at a "startup". Strong and Stretched was my choice last night because I was not really in the mood to work out for any length of time.

I had previewed this , but never had done it, and I was just so amazed at how much fun it was, and also how effective.

Aaron's goal here is to help us reach that "next level" in power and speed and agility. His instruction is right on the mark. The people in his class are at different levels, and he often helped them achieve a more defined stretch or strength movement. In other words, it was like being in an actual class.

The only problem I had was that some of the moves were hard enough that I wanted to see him doing them - and he spent much of his time wandering about helping others with their efforts. But he did do the first few reps, so I just rewound and watched him enough times to get the general idea.

This tape is definitely in my weekly rotation, but I guess i'll probably hook it on to another video (short one) in the future.

An A+.

I hope Aaron puts out more videos, I enjoy his teaching style far more than that of Billy Blanks (not to diss Billy), and I also enjoy his price much more than that of Tae Bo! (Yes, I am dissing the Tae Bo price here).

Instructor Comments:
Aaron is one of my top 5 favorite instructors. He's a "normal" guy who is really good at what he teaches. His manner is very inviting and encouraging, without a trace of artifice. Very fun to work out with. I've spoken on the phone with him, and he's a delight to chat with as well.
