DVD Reviews of Kari Anderson: Go - Step Workout for Beginners
DVD Review: A Man's Perspective...
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this step video. I don't love it.
Kari Anderson is an EXTREMELY energetic person. She frequently adds additional spirited moves into her exercises just... ...because. This can have a polar effect on you - either you're in the mood to really push it a notch and match Kari's efforts, or you've had a rough day and feel like telling her to kiss your rump!
Kari's DVD is divided into a Warm-up session of five minutes, a general workout of 15 minutes, a secondary, more challenging work out of 15 minutes, and a 10-minute cooldown. The warm-up is effective and comfortable. The first workout is a little boring and repetitive. You basically do a few exercises over and over again, while throwing in some of Kari's energetic moves. The second workout is FAR more challenging - so much so I've only attempted it once so far! The cooldown is one of the most frustrating parts in my opinion - using a very ricky rock-step that always seems to trip me up at a time that I'm already pretty winded. But her stretches are very thorough and I definitely feel an improvement in the past two months of using this DVD.
Lastly, Kari is a playful person surrounded by other playful participants. I think some of her jokes and quips and replies from the other participants "cheese" down the video and seem to add a level of unprofessionalism. Some people however may enjoy the relaxed atmosphere this creates. I however prefer a more neutral environment - I don't like people trying to make me laugh when I'm covered in sweat.
I still give the video four stars because it's definitely effective. I started with a Cathe video that reacclimated me to STEP exercise, and by following other reviews for this video, used it as my next level. I can't really refer to this as a beginner's video, though she does still try to explain some of the basics. Unfortunately, she explains them after you're already doing them. You'll have to go through the DVD a few times before it becomes comfortable. I don't think that I'll rely on Kari very long before upgrading to yet another more challenging video - it just tends to irritate me more than I'd prefer.
I think women will enjoy this video because it will make them comfortable. Even I appreciate the fact that one of her backup "Steppers" is a man (though rather dorky looking) and I think some women would also be glad to see a rather heavyset woman exercising on the far right. It's a good contrast to videos employing nothing but scantily-clad models.
As a man, the only real perspective I can add is that, if Kari Anderson has a husband, he's a very, VERY lucky man. I just hope he has a good chiropracter...
