Rating: 2.0
Too many different moves, constant yakking, you need SOUL!
Walk, walk, forward, out out in, tap change, left tap change, how we doing, add the arms, here we go, four more times, heels first,left leg, knee up, from the top, take it side, right leg, here you go, go left, up, out, lift it up. This is INSANE! Donna Richard is an internationally acclaimed fitness professional, and she has soul, but she also has a BIG MOUTH!This aerobic workout is a variation of energetic, happy people who have practiced the moves that lead you to believe you follow along. First, camera angles focus on the faces, and other pertinent body parts. You won't always "see" steps. Second, there is way tooo much yakking going on! Third, the steps are way too complicated, constantly moving.When I do a workout, I want to focus on moves and not constantly trying to keep up. And, she yaks so much and so loud you can't even enjoy the music for momentum.You can get a good aerobic workout, but I seriously doubt if anyone would want to repeat this jabberwacking video too often to get the moves right.It isn't particularly high impact, and if you can't keep up, Donna guides you to watch a woman for low impact, but she doesn't show any difference at all.I like music and I like dancing. If I want to change to a million different moves, I'll dance to my own music in my own moves. If this is your ONLY video to ever watch, do it; if not, skip it!The only good thing here is the "Motown sounds."
