Motivation Integration: Step Choreography

Jennifer Mills Palmer

Categories: Step Aerobics


This got some ho-hum comments when it came out a few years ago, so I wasn't expecting to like it. However, I do like Jennifer Mills (now Jennifer Palmer), so I decided to try it since it's only $10 from Sara's City. Much to my surprise, I found it quite good and it's one I'll be keeping. The entire workout is about 55 minutes, including a warm-up and cool-down. Jennifer's choreography is athletic-style, intermediate to high-intermediate. The intensity ranges anywhere from intermediate (early on) to advanced or lower-advanced. It's fun, and it stays interesting. In some of Jennifer's workouts, she has a tendency to TIFT way too much, but I did not find this to be so here. She does TIFT, but it's just the perfect amount. The single annoyance I found with the tape is that sometimes she seems to be making up the routine on the fly, and ends up cueing late. This mostly happens early in the workout, and, since her choreography is not really complicated, it's not too hard to catch back up with her. As for the production quality, the picture is a little blurry like a lot of the Sara's City tapes, but it's not horrible. The sound is good -- I can hear both Jennifer and the music. Grade A-.
