Gin Miller has great long warm ups.


I also need thorough warm ups and to be able to see the modifier.
Why do they get hidden in the back?

Good cueing for me too, but specifically good advance cueing. Like don't tell me what we're doing as you change steps, but before you change steps. Instructors who cue as they change really irk me, much like people who use their turn signals as they turn, not before. What use is your turn signal now?? I already see you're turning!!

Mirror-cuing. I really appreciate the effort some instructors make to do mirror-cuing.

Good cuing
in general - before doing the move. (Talkin' to YOU Cathe!)

I can put up with lousy music, poor form, lack of modifications, but I need the cuing to be good!

When I was teaching ramping, I would always cue by saying for example, “knee lifts coming up” and then a few beats later, “after 4, 3, 2, 1”. It always seemed to work really well.

Yes, this is a great way to do it, gives a few seconds for people to be prepared. I wish all instructors were like that.

I take out my hearing aids before exercising so music is not an issue for me.

Most has mentioned good instructions and cueing. Verbal is one thing (when I can read their lips), visual cueing is even better. A demo is great.
What I don't like is the editing gets bit creative. Examples such as close up or focus too much on one background exerciser because the camera man enjoys looking bit too much. Or as BunnyHop said, pans around thus missing the pertinent information.

I find some videos spent a long time building the first block, then spend little time on the more complex second block. Why?

I put up with these issues because I want to learn and challenge myself.
But to your question one thing a must? I say clear understandable video with good form.

Some of the Les Mills on demand workouts drove me crazy because they would not show the instructors feet or would pan around for arty camera work.
