I bought this tape because I was looking for another slide tape. I've grown tired of those I have and wanted something different. The step sections are somewhat complex but fun. There are a variety of moves that take you all around the bench. The slide sections seem easy after doing 9703 but still are a good workout. They consist of mainly basic sliding back and forth with different arm patterns and sometimes lifting your leg. The last slide section has a cross country ski in it. I would have liked to have this tape before 9703 as I think it would be a good introduction to sliding. I liked the routines, I just didn't like the instructor's loud "Whews and Yeahs"! I give this tape a B.

Instructor Comments:
Linda seems like a good instructor for the most part but her version of Whooping drove me crazy. She was so obnoxious. She made Cathe's earlier tapes where she whoops seem really sedate! What bugged me was she would say "Whew!" after teaching or trying a new move but it wouldn't be just "Whew" that she would say, it was "Whew,hew,hew,hew"! or "yeah, heah, heah, heah"! She sort of sounded like a goat. This is one where I'm going to have to turn off the volume or turn it way down because it was so annoying!
