Start Your Engines

Charlene Prickett
Year Released: 1998

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


This is another super workout by Charlene Prickett! After doing step videos for so long (primarily Cathe), I decided that I wanted to get some floor aerobics tapes into my rotation. Even though I love the danciness and complexity of Kari Anderson and some of the CIA workouts, there are just some days when I want an intense but simple-to-do workout. Well, this is where Start Your Engines fits the bill. This workout is challenging....I'd definitely say this is an advanced workout. The choreography is simple....lots of huge knee lifts, lunges, marches, mambos, etc. There are places where you can add some higher impact moves if you'd like, but they're certainly not necessary for this workout to be challenging. People who work out in smaller spaces will be glad to know that this workout does not require a lot of room. The workout is long (46 min. of cardio....about an hour including warmup and cooldown/stretch), which I really like. Charlene is really great about giving you a nice, long stretch at the end, too. I'm so happy that I decided to try some of Charlene's workouts. I now have 4 of her floor aerobics tapes and I'm happy w/all of them. These tapes definitely round out my workout rotation. I'd definitely recommend this tape for anyone looking for a strenuous, long, low impact aerobics workout.

Instructor Comments:
As always, Charlene is quite talkative. She cues excellently and has a really caring, fun disposition throughout the whole workout. Her camaraderie w/her 2 cast members is great. She's knowledgeable and unintimidating.
