Kristen Dowell Hi/Lo Recharge - Thoughts

Hi/Lo Recharge features Kristen Dowell as the instructor.  This workout is good old-fashion aerobics.
Kristen takes you through seven combos. Although, combo 1 is an extension of the mini routine taught during the warm up. Kristin introduces each combo with a low impact variation before layering on with more complexity and impact.
After learning all the combos, Kristen combines them all back to back for a final cardio push. After doing all the combos, you move into a cool down, this is followed by core work and then a final stretch.  I didn't do the core work or the final stretch.

There is a beginner modifier. As well as a person that will show an even more advance option from time to time.

The DVD comes with lots of options:
Introduction
Play All
Chapters
Premixes
Credits

The Chapters option allows you to select any of the cardio combos or core or stretch segment. There is also a Splice and Dice option you can select as well.

The Premix option gives you seven Pre-mixes which to choose from.  They range anywhere from 14:51 to 82:23 in length.
If you do all of the main workout, the workout clocks in at almost 1 hour and 20 minutes.  I didn't do this. I only did 65 minutes of the workout. 

The music is okay.  It's not horrible but I did not think it did anything to enhance the energy of the workout.  Kristen is pleasant.  She kept referring to the beginner modifier a lot during the workout.  Overall, I like the workout. The combos were super simple to learn and Kristen gave you options throughout the workout.

3 & 3/4 stars
