WARNING: Totally biased review coming up. I really, really liked this workout. On cardio work, I am an intermediate exerciser who is playing with advanced choreography, but I do enjoy finding a less complex workout that still gives me intensity and a lot of fun. This workout delivers that.

Jay Blahnik and Linda McHugh lead this workout with four background exercisers. The set is plain, but not bad – it looks like a workout space with wood floors and plain walls. The music was a lot of fun and drove much of the fun of the workout for me. I couldn’t tell you what the songs were, but they had words to them, so they weren’t the usual Dynamix type stuff. It does take a fair amount of space side to side and front to back.

Jay and Linda teach this workout tag-team style and bounce the lead between them. Sometimes, it was hard to remember who was leading it as they bounced it between them. However, it was an easy workout to follow, with the exception of a few times when the camera was showing their feet and they were emphasizing the arms. The way they would teach the combos and then cut them down, rearrange them some, and combine them was just so much fun and fairly easy to follow. I can take quite awhile to learn complex choreography, but I did this one on the first time through.

The basic breakdown of this workout is as follows:

Warm-up – 7 minutes
1st and 2nd hi/lo combos taught and combined.
3rd and 4th hi/lo combos taught and combined
The entire workout done twice
Hi/lo cardio session – 30 minutes
Cool down – 4 minutes
Stretch – 10 minutes

This is an older workout, so it is not available on DVD. However, I don’t see this as a minus since I will do the entire workout whenever I do it.

Instructor Comments:
They are such a BLAST in this workout. They also cue well and put the combinations together really well. I wish everyone who tag teams workouts did it as well as these two.
