Could this video be any more amazing to look at? Why can't I be in Hawaii? They've picked some great music, and fabulous settings for this fun interval workout. I got this video from a friend who decided videos weren't for her and she hated this one specifically (the package wasn't even opened!). Personally, I thought I'd hate the work out. I'm just not a celebrity video person, I guess. But I was pleasantly surprised. First, Elle seemes kind of superfluous, c'mon, who needs eye candy when you have the incomparable Karen Voight? But then I realised Elle provides the charm in this video. She is the one with the enthusiasm, and motivation. She really seems to lighten Karen up from her usual less personable demeanor. I love the way Karen teaches resistance work, no nonsense, detailed, careful instruction, but when you're jammin' to INXS, the same precise attitude just doesn't seem as appealing. The steps are fairly simple, some impact. The toning is very good, as always for Voight, and the stretch is very good too. Overall, a wonderful find for intermediates, or even advanced who want a slider with gorgeous scenery and fun, rockin' music.

Instructor Comments:
Karen Voight is a very meticulous instructor. Her attention to detail is unequaled among video instructors and the class instructors I have seen.
