Wow! Don't let the length of this 40-minute step workout fool you. Mindy really packs a punch into it. The choreography is intermediate, but the intensity is advanced. Toward the end, it's almost interval-like. This is just *so* perfect for the days when you don't have much time, but you still want high intensity. Grade A-. I have to give it the "minus" because it uses that music tape that has the gaping hole in it for about 30 seconds or so. That's not Mindy's fault, it's Sara's City Workout's fault! I dearly hope they change that music when their new tapes come out.

Instructor Comments:
Mindy is so "natural" in front of the camera. You can see that she's really herself, and not modifying her personality to be someone else's notion of "professional." I kind of hate to use that word, because it might imply that I think she's unprofessional, which is about the farthest thing from my mind. She is just so down-to-earth and *real* -- and has a great sense of humor to boot. She even jokes about one of the participants who goes the wrong way a couple of times during the workout (funny joking, not cruel joking!).
