Though I'm a big Karen Voight fan, this is my least favorite of her videos. Karen's usual good cuing and terrific form are still there, but I'm afraid that this tape SEEMS to be a lot older than it is (1991). Although it's a far cry from the unsafe high impact aerobic workouts of the 80's (this one alternates high and low impact moves and attention is paid to safe form) it still FEELS like a 10-year old tape, probably because the music sounds a bit like 70's disco, and the exercisers wear puke-colored clothing and leg warmers.

This is definitely an advanced tape--the routines are athletic, but still more dancy and complex than Karen's other tapes (and VERY fast paced), so it takes a while to learn. The tape includes a challenging ab section, and the warm up and cool down/stretch are particularly thorough, which is good considering the high impact nature of the tape. Those advanced exercisers who really like floor aerobics and have a large workout area might like it, but I would pick Karen's other workouts over this tape anyday. Maybe I would feel differently if I had a larger workout area.
