Jillian Michaels Fit and Fab

There is a lot of time spent going over the steps of the routine. The instructions are good, but it's hard to follow the first time through. I'll try it again to see if it gets easier. One frustration I have with dance videos that focus on lengthy routines is that it's hard to get my heart rate into a good cardio zone because of the downtime between the steps of the routine. I'd rather just be moving the whole time with shorter routines and more music. One thing that I do like about this video is that the steps are demonstrated by actual dancers instead of Jillian, and she is very modest about her own hip-hop limitations. That said, she keeps up with the dancers just fine. There's a fun little section near the end where the various dancers do some solo dancing, but I'm not sure what it adds to the actual workout. Good warmup at the beginning but no real cool-down other than when the dancers are doing their thing at the end.
