Happy, High Energy
I purchased the Donna-Mite exercise video and enjoyed it very much. Donna Richardson seems genuinely upbeat and fun-loving (unlike the sometimes "canned" look of Jane Fonda). The music was energetic Motown which is great to dance to. The only negative I saw was in the complexity of dance steps and the frequency of upper body camera angles. It was difficult at times to get the hang of the foot moves because the cameras moved off the dancer's feet and legs and focused onto arms and faces. It wasn't like the camera crew was trying to give the male audience a good look at the dancers' bust lines--it was just poor planning I thought. Other than that I'm sure I'll figure out the moves in time. There are no after workout crunches, push-ups, etc. You have to do that yourself.
