I don't like it when instructors don't do the workout either. I somehow feel less motivated. I guess I like Cathe too for those same reasons, she actually busts out the moves and that makes me feel like I can do it too. I noticed the two new Tracey Staehle workouts have that same feel where there is a large group with instructors moving around and it totally kept me from buying. I guess most bootcamp workouts tend to be in that format. Seriously though, I wish CLX had been made without all of those pointers, instructions, or filler or whatever it is. I think my problem is that I get seriously distracted by excess talking or moving around unrelated to the workout. If there are too many distractions or is too long of a pause for setting up or instruction then I will get bored and go on to the next workout!

It doesn't aggravate me..but it does throw me for a second. Especially Tony Horton in all the P90x cardio workouts..he stops so abruptly that I think the interval is done...it doesn't mess with my motivation too much though, I just jump back in. Cathe seems like super woman in all of her workouts to be able to talk and workout at the same time.

Well, I don't like it either because I really get in the groove and usually only watch the instructor. So I don't want them stopping and moving around, I want them leading the workout so I can watch them and their proper form.

I'm not a *huge* fan of it, but once I know the workout after doing it a few times, I know when it's coming up so it's not so jarring. The stopping I don't mind so much, it's the sometimes yelling of instructions and "pointers" that bothers me. (I'm talking to YOU Jillian.)
I think Cathe might have some of us spoiled. |

Me too! I thought there must be something wrong with me that it would have that much of an impact, so I'm happy to see that I'm not alone. The two cases I don't mind it are with yoga dvds of live classes (obviously) and Tanya Becker of P57 - I don't really know why I see her as an exception. I do dvds so that I can follow along, and I don't normally follow a background exerciser, so when the instructor stops maybe I just feel lost. But the feeling that they're cheating also comes up (even though rationally I know that they can and do do this and much tougher workouts).
