This is the tape that got me to exercise four years ago. I used to do it three times a week. I now do it as least once a week and I still break a sweat!
The SET is great! It is what got my attention in the first place. I like that underground industrial look. The lighting really puts all the group's muscles in evidence. It really motivates me to see fit bodies when I exercise.
The MUSIC is energetic! The African drumming beat never gets old, even after years of hearing it.
The INSTRUCTOR is excellent! Gin Miller does a great job. She cues verbally and physically in a very professional way, you can't miss.
I also appreciate the fact that she doesn't say anything else. I don't need to hear the same explanation or joke for he 100th time. All video "maker" should remember that we play these tapes over and over again!
The WORKOUT is very effective! It is easy to follow, the moves are basic, not dancy at all. It is also easy to modify the routine to decrease or increase the intensity of the workout. I must admit that the toning section is short, a few push ups and some abs work. The stretch part could also be longer but that is the weakness of almost all videos on the market.
In conclusion this video delivers a great cardio workout for beginners and intermediate trainers, who like basic movements. There is nothing cute or dancy about this one.
