A basic aero/tone interval program that burns fat and tones your muscles. It's designed for exercise novices with simple moves and an easy-to-modify format (e.g. all of the nine intervals have an explicit “end,” so you can stop whenever it feels right to you). For easy learning, each cardio segment uses just one aerobic style. They range from familiar step touches, grapevines and marches to moves with a “lite” salsa, Bhangra or bellydance flavor. The toning sections also utilize just one exercise (e.g. squats in one interval, bicep curls in the next). Pam Cosmi's beginner-oriented cuing is ideal — clear and informative with no distracting chatter. Requires an X-ertube. ©2009.
