Have you ever had a blast while exercising that you forgot it's exercise? This is what this video is all about. By far the best complex step video out this year of 99'. Christi has outdone herself again in a superb step workout. I found myself laughing and hooting I was having so much fun. The warm-up is part of the step choreography. So you pretty much know it by heart by the end of the workout. Christi doesn't mess around talking about the move. She jumps right into it by saying, "you stay there, I will be right back" or "Are you watching?". She sneaks more choreography with each 8 count. Her cueing is top notch. Her personality is contagious. I love her "Pray" move and love it when she says,"Were still praying" after a tough combo! She does this incredible step move called "Double hop-Double hop- mambo chacha move. You are just flying. Even more than Flying Angel move. It is a reverse hop over the step and then you hop again turning it into a mambo to get you back in front of the step as you chacha. Confused? You've got to try it to understand it. Some of the moves are complex. Lot's of turns and pivots. Christi starts it off slow though. This is an advanced workout. Most of the workout is low impact with some high impact on turns and to unload the knee for pivots. I like the mixture of both high impact and low impact for stepping. The workout ends with a fun around the world move which consists of mamboing around the step. Then there is abs in which Christi coaches. A quick stretch follows the workout. It is the CIA setting and CIA instrumental music. Christi is a wonderful instructor and I highly recommend this tape to the experienced stepper.
