Aerobics To Go

This is a Sara City production. I was hesitant about trying one of their videos due to the comments about production value. But when I got their catalog with videos for $10 on sale I decided to give it a shot. The production was not as bad as I thought. When I am working out I really do not pay attention to that anyway. The music was just so-so but it was not bad either.

On to the workout itself... I really liked this video. It is a 60 minute hi/lo tape with mostly low impact moves at high intensity. I was really pleased at this because there just is not enough low impact tapes that can stay at high intensity. I believe the higher intensity is due to faster than usual hi/lo music as well as very little marching in place. He also does not spend much time teaching moves which helps keep the intensity up. One reason is that the choreography is fairly simple. Mostly grapevines, hamstring curls, and lots of step touches. He mixes it up by changing directions and quite a few pivots. There is a lot of TIFT in this video so if you do not like that you probably will not like this video. Myself, I like it because it lets me practice and once I know the steps well I can really get into it. There was about 5 or 6 combos and at the end he only takes it from the top once.

All in all this is a great hi/lo video. I would rate it at a high intermediate or low advanced level which is about where I am at. It is great for those who like hi/lo but like it keep it lower impact, like myself. And it is a complete steal at $10!!

Instructor Comments:
He cues very well which is really good for me. I would like to try his step workouts next. As far as Sara City Productions go, I will not hesitate to buy from them in the future!
