Hmmmmmm. I don’t quite know what to say about this workout. It’s not your typical Christi fare. The first 40 minutes is high/low which I believe is supposed to incorporate functional fitness, although I can’t say whether it does or not. The high/low consists of several short combos. You do one combo, and then you never do it again. I admit I’m really glad Christi chose this style for this workout, because, frankly, I don’t think it would be much fun if the combos had to be repeated. They’re not that much fun even one time – but they’re not bad either. All of the combos are really easy to pick up because Christi uses basic/intermediate athletic moves. There are “Fazes” 1 and 2 to the high/low. At the beginning of Faze 2, Christi starts out with some arm exercises at the beginning of the first combo. I could only stand there in horror wondering where the real Christi went. She does eventually add in the aerobics, but it still wasn’t fun. Later in Faze 2, “I Dream of Jeannie” starts playing, and that’s when I lost it. I was so distracted that I don’t even know whether I was following Christi or doing something entirely different. Now that I know what to expect from the workout, however, it’s not so bad. I’ll be keeping it, but I’d be lying if I said I ever want Christi to do another like it.
