I wasn't too keen on trying this video when I previewed the first five minutes, but when I actually did it, I liked it alot. I had to do lots of my own jumping throughout, but the slow tempo and big movements made it easy to adjust the workout to be more advanced. Charlene did not chat too much about other topics, but just concentrated on the moves. She explains the moves as if you are an inexperienced stepper, so I was way ahead of her doing my plyos and jumps. The workout itself is only 35 minutes, so I added this on to Franny's 9905 hi/lo. Charlene does not "go from the top" and the workout went very fast. I would consider it low intermediate because of the numerous basic steps and marches off the step, but advanced exercisers can easily adjust.

Instructor Comments:
Charlene looks great in this video. She is a perfect example of a lean, slim woman with lots of arm definition. She sets a great example for the over 50 exerciser.
