Time graph for Christi Taylor's Mission Possible
It’s back to the basics in this “just plain fun” program. You’ll start with varied step-aerobics and end with with energetic hi/lo. Christi’s transitions are ultra-smooth and her aerobic-favorites choreography is ultra-easy to follow. It’s a style that lets you get “into” the workout without worrying about what comes next (it also allows you to boost the intensity and range of motion). You’ll be groovin’ to classics like “grapevines,” “step touches,” “shuffle ball changes” and “hustles with a pony.” The beginning step section is slightly more challenging — the moves are still simple, but you’ll be stepping from every angle and every direction. Soundtrack includes some sing-along vocals like “Beautiful Lady,” “I Like It Like That” and “Inside Out.” Includes a separate 10-minute choreography instructional segment at the end. ©2005. Note: Preview clip shows hi/lo first, then step. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Christi Taylor's Mission Possible

Fun and a great intro to step!
I have been a floor aerobic exerciser forever, and this was my first introduction to step. I loved that half the workout is step and half floor (how come more DVDs aren't like that?). Music is one of my favorite parts -- very upbeat and interesting. Christi's cuing is helpful and this made me feel like I was getting a decent workout. - posted by Hope91 on 1/3/2010
Boring!
I gave this 3 stars because it did get my heart rate up but it was so boring. The floor exercise was not challenging at all. I also thought the intro was really cheesy. Not my fave! - posted by Vanessa on 12/9/2009
Always Makes me Smile
If you want a fun workout, but don’t like complex choreography, this is it! Completing this workout is indeed mission possible. Exquisitely cued, with great music. - posted by Lori on 11/22/2009
Very nice!
Flawless production, wonderful cueing, great music. The gals here use a 6 inch step but the moves are basic and can be easily done on a higher step for those who want a bit more challenge. Highly recommended for those who dislike complex choreography or just need the occasional break from the complex stuff! - posted by Susan W. on 10/18/2009
FUN !!
I'm 52 and generally avoid complex choreography and know this instructor tends toward that. However, overview states that the choreography is "basic" so after reviewing the clip, decided to purchase it. It's a gas!! I enjoyed it thoroughly and am impressed with her as an instructor -- however, this is as "complex" as I want to get -- so I won't be getting any of her others. Keep it simple is my thing. - posted by NANCY M on 5/24/2009
A lot of fun
Christi sure does cue well! She starts basic and layers after that until you have each part down. The routine is fun and easy to follow and gets your HR up fast and keeps it up. Christi so obviously has fun doing the routine it is infectious. She makes me smile when she sings her cues, silly woman! I am a little trepidatious to try her other more complex routines but I am going to give it a try based on this one. - posted by Nancy on 4/14/2009
Nice Surprise!
I enjoy this workout because of the simplicity of the moves-yet the intensity is still there. The step portion teaches 4 combos and you keep TIFTTing once you learn each combo, The same goes for the floor cardio portion. If you LOVE Gay Gaspar's Fat Burning For Dummies workout- you will probably Love this one too! - posted by Tracy on 3/21/2009
Good workout to get your heartrate up beginners to more advanced without too much thinking
Sometimes I enjoy more challenging choreography to my cardio workout but there are times when I just want that HR up without thinking too hard. This workout fit the bill for me. Enough variety in the choreography to make it fun and broken down enough to make it easy to follow w/o being boring. I really liked it. I also like Christi's energy and the way she had fun with her workout. It is a little fast for a beginners on the physical level but I think almost anyone could follow the choreography. For more of a physical challenge for the more advanced exerciser and some jumps and arms over the head in there. - posted by Sassy on 10/7/2008
Love it! Easy to Follow!
My new favorite workout! I like both the step and floor parts, but the step is my favorite! The step portion of this workout is currently my most favorite workout! So much fun! Easy to follow her cues, and the moves are fairly basic too so you can put your "all" into the movements to increase the cardio benefit. Christi cues so well! She cues far enough ahead of the move that you know exactly what is coming without having to react so fast you get hurt! Easy on my knees, yet I get a GREAT workout and feel so good afterward. It's a fun one. The music is good too. Only a few pivots too (and those can be easily modified, which I do because my workout surface is not smooth). - posted by Andelyn on 7/15/2008
Also a great pregnancy workout
I love Christi's videos and this is no exception. Unlike her other videos, this one has *really* basic choreography, which I appreciate now that I'm pregnant. I got all the moves on my first time--unusual for a Christi video. The workout was very easy to follow on my carpeted floor and it was also easy to keep everything low impact while getting a great workout. Being pregnant I don't want a super long, high intensity workout and so this fit the bill perfectly. Thanks, Christi! - posted by Gabrielle on 5/5/2008

Reading a 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.
