I will start off by telling you some of the good things about this video. I liked that you work out in the beautiful mountains. Picturesqe beauty. I also liked Charlene's friendly attitude. That is about it.

The things I didn't like about this video is that it was too easy for me. Too many step taps and basic stepping and straddles that last forever. Charlene does add higher impact and turns but it didn't hold my attention since I'm used to CIA or Cathe Friedrich tough stepping. I also hated that the camera films SIDEWAYS a lot of the times and it made me dizzy!!! I didn't like Charlene's outfit( mustard yellow pants with orange sock!!????). Charlene talks too much and forgets to change a move so you are straddling and straddling ect,ect. I also didn't like the end when one of the background exerciser says you are supposed to drink room temperature water and Charlene said that she thought otherwise. Sometimes I think Charlene acts kinda puffed up like she knows everything and wants you to know it too. Sorry Charlene fans, I had to get it off my chest. I also hated the male background exercers outfit that looks like a too tight tanktop with his belly button showing. The music was the same step music she uses in her other tapes. Kinda gets boring. Charlene does do some Cathe choreography like the shuffle repeater move in Step Max and the step knee up and go around your step like in Step Fit.

This is an ok video but I was looking at the clock most of the time.

Instructor Comments:
Charlene looks amazing at the age 50. Very inspiring. She is cheerful and has alot of energy. She has a little bit of trouble cueing because I got confused on some of the moves.
