Time graph for Charlene Prickett's Low Impact, High Intensity
It’s intense without the high-impact; it’s interesting without the complex choreography. With 44 minutes of solid aerobics, you won’t have to stress your knees or back to burn lots of fat. The routines range from grapevines, taps and lunges to athletic-type moves like “double lunge, double knees.” Charlene alternates between the easier and tougher moves to provide a “cardio interval” effect (but always using the legs and a large range of motion to keep your heart rate up). Well cued and easy-to-follow, Charlene and her spontaneous/chatty crew provide exercise tips and motivation throughout. Filmed outdoors in the Canadian Rockies. ©1996. (60 min.).

Good workout
I bought this one because years ago I exercised to Charlene's exercise show. I was curious what she was like now. She's still kicking! I like the workout, the cues are pretty good and the scenery is beautiful. I'm probably at a moderate level and can get a good intensity from it. - posted by Cathy on 3/31/2006
I love this one!
I am happy to see that this one is now out on DVD. I originally bought it on VHS tape but now only have equipment to do DVD so I plan to re-buy this in DVD format as it is a lot of fun and great set. - posted by B. Thomas on 1/18/2006
Really Gets Me Sweating
I really love this video. I love that it's filmed outdoors in the mountains. I love Charlene's basic choreography with the little intensity spurts in there. I enjoy the chatter between Charlene and her friends. This workout is the perfect length too. - posted by Leeya on 12/18/2005
Excellent Cardio
Excellent aerobic workout. It is exactly what it says. High intensity low impact. You will burn fat. The scenery is wonderful. I wish all of her workouts had great scenery. I also wish she would turn these older workouts into DVD's. Charlene is great!!! - posted by norma on 7/5/2005
Effective and adaptable
Makes you sweat, can be beginner thru advanced, depending on your level and inclination. Good cueing, good instruction, light-hearted, cheery without being chirpy or preachy. Not sure how long the actual "high energy" aerobics are, but if you follow the workout thoroughly, you will feel like you have worked hard at the end--where the stretches are very helpful also. - posted by Variel on 2/26/2005
Truly lives up to its name
This is one of my favourite tapes. I wish they would have edited out all the annoying chatter, (especially since they often all talk at the smae time and you can't hear them )but now that I'm used to the tape I just turn down the sound a little and ignore it. It gives you a really good work out without any jumping and no complicated dance routines. I have yet to find another tape to fit that category. - posted by Margaret on 4/5/2003
Charlene Fan For Years - And With Good Reason
I started watching Charlene Prickett over 18 years ago when I was in junior high school. She did and still does give a great workout. The cueing in this video is a little off and the "fancy hands" was annoying, so I just dropped that part out altogether. However, this workout was worth the money. I felt energized and felt like I had done something good for myself. Now that my endurance is increasing, I will buying more of her videos. - posted by Felicia on 3/24/2003
Great but not a long cardio workout
I really like this workout because it is easy on the knees and there are some fun but intense moves. The cardio portion is not 44 minutes but rather closer to a half an hour. I purchased this tape because I was looking for close to an hour of heart-thumpin cardio but this is not it. Because it is easy on the knees and interesting, I'll just do the cardio twice. Enjoy! - posted by jj on 5/19/2002
Love Charlene
I love Charlene Prickett so much I ordered two of her videos, The Low Impacy, High Intensity and Get the Fat Off, BUT I found after working out with both tapes, there is a lot of repitition and I wish I would have ordered just one of the tapes. She uses a lot of the same moves in both tapes. Don't get me wrong, I love her but I was hoping that by buying two tapes they would be different. I am a little disappointed, because I do get bored easily and like variety in my workouts. So order on or the other, just not both. - posted by Carol on 3/9/2002
Not Impressed
I guess I differ from the others who rated this video! I tried it for the first time yesterday with my husband, after watching it once. Both of us thought her cueing was terrible! She goes right into something without really telling you what it is - ie. "now we're going to do some fancy arm movements" and then she starts flailing her arms around without properly explaining what "fancy hands" means!! Halfway through the video we got fed up and turned it off - and neither of us had felt like we had worked at all. I think this video should be for beginners as it did not challenge either of us, just felt like a gentle warmup. This is my first Charlene Prickett Video and it will be my last!! I would highly recomend to others who are at an intermediate fitness level to try one of Leslie Sansone's fitness walking videos (intermediate level) or videos from The Firm. This one just did not do it for me at all. - posted by Sandra on 2/18/2002

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
