While doing this workout, I kept wishing I was working out to Franny or Christi. I think I have outgrown Charlene's style of athletic-type aerobics. I found myself looking at the clock wishing it would end. Her movements are mostly high knee ups, some lunges, floor pendulums, and grapevines. They were working out in a small, confined room (Rene, her pal, is one of the exercisers) and I was yearning for my CIA studio. The music is very dated and it's the same as her other videos, which can get quite monotonous. My favorite Charlene videos (I have about ten of them) are two older tapes: "Charlene and the Bench Boys" and "Rev Up the Sequel." I can only recommend this tape for an exerciser who loves athletic workouts using a small workout space.
