Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).
Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.
Aerobics Impact
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.
Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.
Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.
Aerobics Choreography
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Certified instructor description: A nearly-all-standing program that blends the newest core, balance and postural-awareness exercises with Gilad's traditional boot camp routines. It's an effective combination that's both challenging and motivating. By using both dumbbells and an X-ertube, Gilad isolates and targets each muscle group in different ways (e.g. longer range-of-motion with the dumbbells, shorter pulses with the tubing). The variety also includes resistance moves on both the “in” and “out” motions plus some multi-plane exercises (e.g. “wood chops,” “discus throwing”). Throughout, Gilad's cuing is “demanding,” but always detailed and very thorough. Filmed on a beach in Hawaii. Requires an X-ertube and 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2006.
