Movie Reviews of Christi Taylor: Mission Possible Step & Aerobic WorkoutMovie Review: Excellent introduction to Christi.... Summary: 5 Stars
This workout to me is a party in a box, to seasoned Christi fans that might sound totally lame but I have a ball with this workout. Christi Taylor is known for her dancy, spinny and twirly choreography which is not for clutzes like me. She has quite a variety of step and hi-lo aerobics videos for those who crave complex moves, but this is her first video directed to those new to her work or beginner/intermediate steppers in general. There is a 20 minute step segment and 20 minute hi-lo segment. Both are a lot of fun, and somedays when I am only up to 20 minutes of cardio, I will pop this in my player and end up doing all of it because it's so much fun.
You begin with a warmup consisting of grapevines, step taps, heel digs and plenty of squats & calf lifts to warm up your legs. Then it's on to the step section, Christi teaches 4 combinations, one at a time and will run through them several times. This may not appeal to all as some may think it's repetitive, and maybe it is but it doesn't bother me. The moves in this segment are simple but not too basic, keeping things interesting. You will see basic steps, arabesques, rocking horses, lunges, scoops on and off the step, knee lifts, up-tap side, mambos or pivots, L-steps, V-steps, corner knees, repeaters, turn steps and turn shuffles. There are also simple assorted arm movements that go with each step.
If you feel like more the hi-lo segment is next which is as just as fun. Again there are four combinations which Christi will teach one at a time, then run through them all several times. The moves that are seen here are step touches, single & double hamstring curls, hip shakes, grapevines, scoops, mambos, side taps, walk up knee ups, pony snaps, double knees, more mambos, step taps, tap down/back, shuffle ball change, and heel taps again all with assorted arm movements for each.
After all that fun, it's time for the cooldown. Pretty simple, just some step touches, marches and grapevines along with some stretches.
I am really glad that Christi made this video, it is one of my favorite aerobic videos, Christi is a great instructor, she cues very well and is a great choreographer. Unfortunately most of her other videos are too complex for me but I have this one to enjoy and I do. Christi also selects great music, the music in this video is among the best that I have heard in any of my workout videos. She also includes a feature called MoveMaster, which goes over all the steps, some may find this handy.
Overall, I give this one 5 stars. Highly recommended for beginner/intermediates looking for a fun step/hi-lo workout.
