kari anderson: push

[Guest guest]

tonight i did 'push' with kari anderson. this is 30 minutes of step,

30 mins of hi/lo and a 5 min standing stretch.

i luv kari and liked the workouts, but the choreography was too much

for me. lots of turns and spins at a high beats per minute. but

the choreo is fun, is on the athletic side of dancey and i got a good

sweat.... if i practiced and practiced, i might be able to get every

step, sooner or later.

i preferred the step workout as i was able to do quite a bit of it,

and was able to modify the rest. in both workouts, kari demonstrates

steps before having you do them and teaches the base moves before

adding on. however, she doesnt have a background exerciser who

sticks to the base moves... all of them do the routine just as kari

does. it would have been helpful to have a modifier to follow.

the hi/lo workout started out ok, but progressed to a point beyond my

abilities, choreography-wise. so i finished watching the workout

while jogging on my rebounder.

kari then does a 5 minute stretch... all done while standing.

the music in the workout was good, however i thought that the dvd's

overall sound was bad. i couldnt hear what kari was saying very well

so i missed some cues and that made the choreo even harder for me to

catch on to. i am using a crappy old tv... the picture isnt so hot

either... so it might not be the fault of the dvd. i would love to

get a new tv, specifically for my workouts!

so while this workout wasnt really for me, i know that others who

like some choreo will enjoy it. i will probably put it on my trade

list and go back to doing her 'go' workout which has basic choreo.
