I love this tape (but Christi has not made a tape yet which I do not love.) The intensity is advanced, but not killer. It is more intense than 9801 and seems more similar in intensity to the hi/low portion of 7002. It is a nice mix of high and lower impact moves.

The choreography is also advanced, but there is less choreography than in her tape 9801. It is taught more slowly and is easier to learn. Some moves are similar to previous tapes (like the squat on each side with no pausing in the middle, and hamstring turns -which I love) but there are also new moves and the choreography is put together in a new and fresh way. The choreography has more of an athletic feel in this tape than in 9801, which felt a bit more dancy to me.

The warmup is about 7 minutes and is actually a very fun low impact combo by iteself. The workout is about 38 minutes and is made up of 3 long combos (or you could look at it like 6 shorter combos - I am going by when she switches left and right leads). When teaching the combos, Christi takes it from the top halfway through teaching each combo and again at the end of teaching the combo. You only go through once on each leg, so it is not too irritating. (Although it might get more irritating as time goes on.) At the very end, I think you do the whole routine 3 times through. The cooldown is very short, and the stretch is also short (one of the few flaws in the tape.) An ab workout which is about 10 minutes is also included at the end of workout.

This will definitely be a long time favorite of mine.

Christi is my favorite instructor for two reasons, and both apply here as well as her other tapes. She is the best at creating interesting, fun and smooth choreography. The moves always flow well into each other, even from one combo to the next. Also, she is an excellent teacher.
