Year Released: 1994

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


There are 4 workouts, each taught by a different person.

The first is Karate-Aerobics by Lisa Gaylord. This woman looks MEAN. She does not crack a smile -- in fact, she looks like she is getting ready to kill someone. Maybe you're supposed to look like that when you're doing karate, but I don't like it. The karate-aerobics are basically just a bunch of low-impact kicks over and over. I thought it was boring.

The next workout is Salsa Dance by Gloria Quinlan. She is perkier and smiles a lot. The routine is mildly interesting. There are no moves we haven't seen before, and the intensity is too low.

Next is Donna Richardson with Attitude Aerobics. Here I start having some fun, but by the time my heart rate gets up to anything approaching fat-burning, the routine is over.

Finally, Stephanie Herman teaches Heartbeat Ballet. She's good, too, and I like the routine, but it's just not intense enough. This might be great for a beginner, but not for me.

I'm ranking it as a C.
