This is a floor aerobics DVD by Christi Taylor. Christi, as usual, is enthusiastic and seems to be having a great time during her workout. She absolutely sparkles. She also seems to have an excellent rapport with her background exercisers.

There are two modifiers in the back that you can see a little better than in her Step Heaven DVD. She should still place at least one of them in the front though. They keep the moves low impact for most of the DVD.

If you've never done Christi before or complex choreography, this will be very tricky for you to catch on, but it's not as tricky as Hi Low Heaven. There are plenty of low impact moves you can substitute. I won't break down the moves, as that has been done.

LIKES: Cueing is great, and Christi is magic. Many low impact options. The music is pretty good, although not as great as her Heavenlie series. I got my heart rate up and was sweating. The DVD also inclues a bonus warm up (haven't done it), MoveMaster instructional section in which she breaks down her complex moves (which I have not done but will preview), and an abs section. I like that the ab section is included, because I hate popping out a DVD just to add on ab work. This DVD is a little less complex than some others that I have tried, so I can save it for lighter days.

DISLIKES: grapevine, grapevine, GRAPEVINE! They are nearly endless, and I just don't have the space for it. I think I could have been more challenged and exaggerated the moves more if I had the space. The music also could have been better, even though it's not bad. I also think it's a little boring because it seems you're always going side to side, and rarely up or down or twirling or varying the steps much.

All in all, however, this is an excellent intro to Christi. Don't let the complex choreo deter you from enjoying a good DVD.
