Description:

This dance-filled, intermediate/advanced cardio-step 60-minute video draws moves from jazz dance, ballet, and modern dance as well as traditional step aerobics to give you a workout rich in choreography challenges. Leader Lisa Wheeler instructs superbly--she has you follow her assistants while she shows you a change before inviting you to do it with her. Even so, choreography changes and layering (adding more moves and variations onto the basic choreography you've learned) happen so quickly that you may find yourself stopping the video as you learn it. The good news is that you won't get bored later on. Strength and balance intervals from yoga and Pilates interrupt the cardio for a well-rounded and energetic workout performed to live drumming. At the end of the long cardio workout, Wheeler puts all the combinations together for a routine of over 20 different moves. After that, you drop to the mat for a 10-minute, Pilates-based abdominal segment--done so slowly that you can't cheat--then a yoga sequence for flexibility. --Joan Price
