This one has grown on me. The first time I did it, all I could think about was how different the set/quality were compared to Christi’s other workouts. The picture is not as clear; the camera angle is funky; and something about the music doesn’t grab me like previous productions (but the music IS good). All this colored my attitude toward the workout, and I was disappointed. Had it been a lesser instructor, I’m sure I would have given up right there, but Christi is my #1, so I did the workout two more times (on different days, of course). Each time, I’ve liked it better. But still . . . there is something I haven’t quite put my finger on that makes me not enjoy this as much as Christi’s other work. I don’t understand it yet, because the choreography is good, and she teaches it well – although I was a little surprised at the number of times she repeats a combo the first time through. She doesn’t TIFT a lot, in fact, she TIFTs just the perfect number of times for me; however, when she’s initially teaching a combo, she repeats it a lot. It wasn’t too much, but it was nearing borderline-too-much. That was a surprise, but didn’t make me like the choreography any less. The music is good, with lots of recognizable songs (such as Louie, Louie). But there is still something that’s keeping me from raving about this, and I haven’t figured it out. In any case, I’m keeping this and will definitely keep doing it. But I’m giving this one a B+ instead of my usual A+. Most of this ranking has to do with the production quality, but part of it is the elusive “fun factor” as well.
