This is a good
low-intermediate/intermediate
workout. It was a little too easy
for me as an advanced exerciser
but does fine for a light day
when I want to get in a little
toning and cardio.
Bright CIA-style set with
melodious jazzy music (original
stuff by her husband, I think).
You do short cardio segments
followed by short toning
segments. The one guy uses
dumbbells; Debra uses a
bodybar and dumbbells, and the
two women use those short Spri
tubing bands. The cardio is very
basic--lots of V-steps, box steps,
ponies, shuffles and
grapevines. There are short
"intervals" where you might do
the ski-hops, jacks or high knee
jogs. Some compound toning
moves like squats plus side delt
raises. Nothing mind-boggling
different here. Overall, I found it a
solid, pleasant, competent
workout but nothing particularly
striking. It did introduce me to
Debra as an instructor and now
I'm more eager to try some of
her other workouts that I have
but haven't tried.
Instructor Comments:
Very pleasant, mellow instructor,
giving constant form reminders.
Her pace gets just a little too
deliberate at times
here--sometimes I was like,
"C'mon, let's go already!" at the
TV while she chatted to her
comrades.
