The Method: Dynamic Cardio

Lisa Wheeler
Year Released: 1999

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


The first thought that crossed my mind was, "If you like `Step Up to Dance'... Many of the moves are the same as the ones on that tape, except this is just floor aerobics, no step, no ab work at the end. Even the background exercisers and the set are the same. (At least the women are: Lakey Evans and Mariamne, the one someone wrote so disparagingly about in Step Up to Dance. The guys are probably the same too, but I couldn't tell for sure.) There are three aerobic routines with a warm up at the beginning of the tape and a cool-down at the end. Warning: This needs a lot of room. My first time doing this, I had to stop and move furniture out of the way or I could have killed myself. One could probably make the moves smaller to fit, but it may take some of the grace out of the moves. I liked the tape very much. I am not the most graceful person in the world and it took some time for me to get Step Up to Dance. Perhaps because I have that tape, it was fairly easy for me to follow Dynamic Cardio the first time through. It will be challenging fine tuneing things as I am style-deficient. But I do enjoy this tape.

Instructor Comments:
I like her. She is down to earth and very friendly. She cues very well. She doesn't seem as "New-Agey" as other Method instructors appear to be at times.
