Donna-Mite

Donna Richardson
Year Released: 1995

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


Although I really like Donna, and I love the old Motown music, I'm not sure how much I actually like the workout. I've taken the workout and tried to learn it section by section. For example, once I learned the warm-up and the first section completely, I tried adding the next section, and so on.
Anyways, I still trip over myself freqently, and spend much of the workout doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Even though I feel like a complete idiot when I do this video, I still have fun doing it. I have noticed, however, that even during the sections I have mastered, my heart rate doesn't really elevate to an optimal target zone. I would choose this video for a light day.
Many others have said this video is easy to learn, well... maybe if you enjoy dancing and are naturally coordinated. If you have two left feet (like me) and are looking for challenging cardio, DonnaMite might not be the best pick. Don't get me wrong, I do like this video, it's fun, but it isn't my ideal workout.
