Chrisi Taylor's StepSational DVD Review

ANOTHER superb workout.I can't understand why she's not more commonly known.She should be.This is a great workout when you want to push yourself.I love this music too.Everlasting Love etc and they use vocals which is fine because she cues along in time to the words.You'll use every inch of your step in this workout.She cues ahead well, so you know what's coming and what to do next.At the end there is an 8 minute bonus burst segment which could almost kill you (in a good way).There is also an instructional segement at the end to catch you up.Go get this.It will become your favourite too.

Product Description
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, Christi steps it up a notch by turning Part 2 of the workout UPSIDE-DOWN! During this innovative segment, all combinations begin and end on TOP of the step. It's cutting-edge creativity just when you need it most!

Christi Taylor's Totally Hot Cardio DVD Review

This is my first encounter with Christi- and I am really not pleased with the dvd.I have taken aerobics classes before and this dvd moves way too fast and she does not explain what you should be doing with your body.There is a feature on the dvd to move through the combinations slower with the instructor, however all she does is count off by 8's; not give you a description of what you should be doing.

All in all, only get this if you are a REALLY fast learner and already extremely proficient in aerobics and dance- otherwise, it's not worth it.

Product Description
Christi's Invisible warm-up concept allows you to enjoy incredible cardiovascular training right from the beginning by incorporating vital warm-up movements placed ingenuously within the first 5 minutes, while at the same time elevating the heart rate quickly for maximum calorie burn! This Hot Cardio workout takes off instantly toward exciting and challenging Hi/Lo Aerobic training. A challenging workout, but can be modified for beginners.

Chrisi Taylor's Fantastic Four DVD Review

I am an avid stepper and I found the step workouts on these dvds to be way too difficult for any normal person.Christi gives you the option to follow herself as she does the more complex moves or you can follow her fellow steppers, but the camera view is mainly on Christi so it is difficult to see the other steppers and her queing is not easy to follow.I would not recommend this dvd.

Product Description
Join Christi as she jumps, twists and leaps through fun and challenging aerobics! She will begin with a wonderful warm-up and end with a complete cool-down and stretch for maximum cardiovascular and flexibility benefits.

Christi Taylor's Solid Gold Cardio DVD Review

The good points about this DVD is that it has a lot of features.There is the main workout, a cool down, a bunch of extra excercises, and even a "combination platters" section that combinesdifferent parts of the main workout with the other excercises.There is also the "choreography 101" and "movemaster" sections that are supposed to help you learn the steps.

However, the moves Christi does are simply too complicated.I spent most of my time tripping over myself trying to get the moves instead of breaking a sweat.The "Choreography 101" section shows the basic foot patterns, but after Christi is done modifying them in the main workout, they are unrecognizable. The "Movemaster" section is basically the core of the workout done a little more slowly, with no real further explaination of what she's doing.I spent a long time with the "movemaster" on 3/4 speed, trying to learn the combinations, just for the modifications in the main workout to trip me up.After about a week of trying, I finally gave up.

So, unless you are a dancer, you might want to try a different video.There are others out that get your heart rate up as much, without the intricate spins and footwork.

Product Description
Christi has gone to great lengths to assist and educate all levels of exercisers. Besides including helpful modifiers to provide less complicated alternatives to complex choreography, she has also included two special features entitled "Choreography 101" and "MoveMaster." As always, you can bank on Christi's high fun-factor guarantee, as SOLID GOLD Cardio promises to be the crown jewel of your exercise collection!
