Hi/Lo Heaven

I agree with the opinion that this is a very good hi-lo workout, but I disagree that it is perfect. In my opinion, this workout is too long and repetitive, not only with all the taking it from the top, but also with having a gazillion hamstring curls, knee-ups and basically the same types of movements over and over for well over an hour. On the positive side, I agree that the music is good and the male participants are fun to watch, but I would be happier if the first and second segments were shorter. I like the third segment, which incorporates weights, but it starts at about the hour mark. I agree that there is some really fun choreography, and it often flows really well. The moves sometimes appear to be more complex than they really are, so I think this workout is doable for most people, with some extra time taken to rewind and take it a section at a time. Christi's cueing is not always to my liking, although it is generally good. I don't really like her method of introducing a move, repeating it several times until your muscle memory kicks in, and then changing that same move to something completely different, (which is different from adding on, which I do like). I recently bought the Fantastic Four DVD, which motivates me to do the workout more than the VHS did. I like the ability to skip around at the touch of a button, if need be.
