Even though it's starting to get to be to easy for me I still really enjoy this video. The production quality is fantastic, which a gorgeous Hawaiian backdrop and great music. Most of the moves in this workout are pretty standard, but for some reason the background, the music, and the personalities really make it special. I love the cooldown, which is to Sting's "Fields of Gold". I also really like the way Karen and Elle interact with each other, sometimes turning to face each other instead of facing the camera.

I thought I would be intimidated by the supermodel in this video but I wasn't at all. Elle came off as a friend rather than an unattainable celebrity. She even mentioned some of her own insecurities, which makes her seem more human. I almost feel like we should be going to a slumber party after this (with Karen being the mom :))

I would definitely reccomend this to a beginner, especially someone who may be unsure about video fitness. It would also be a great choice for an intermediate - even if it starts to get easy after awhile. It's great to have around for those grey days when you don't feel like exercising.

Overal, an A+!
