Overall I like this video. The atmosphere is one of people just having a good time. I've done the video 5 or 6 times though, and I've decided I probably won't be doing it very frequently. I'm an intermediate to advanced level exerciser, and the intensity level is too varied for me. I find the first section is too easy, the second section is just about right, and the third section is even easier than the first. Maybe it's not this way for more intermediate level exercisers, but I end up doing a lot of modifications in the first and third section to keep my heartrate up. Also, the choreography in the first two sections is a little too basic for my taste. I was able to do most of it the first time through, and I prefer it to be more complex. The third section is trickier because of the "funkiness" factor. I think it wasn't until about the fourth time that I could do those moves, but then ended up modifying them to higher impact anyway. At the end of the video, I skip the toning because it's so short it's hardly worth doing. I continue cooling down, then do my own stretching because the only stretching Gin does is a hamstring stretch. I'd really like to do this video more often because it's such a fun atmosphere, but it just doesn't give me the aerobic workout I need. I think it would be good for more intermediate level exercisers who like moves that are easy and fun to learn and do.

Instructor Comments:
As others have said, Gin is pretty goofy in this video. I like it though - she's fun and she makes me laugh each time I do the workout. The other exercisers do a fair amount of cuing, and they're fun too.
