Quickfix Cardio Hip Hop - Thoughts

Quickfix Cardio Hip Hop is a 40 minute dance workout led by Juliane Arney. The workout is broken down into four 10 minute dance routines.
The dances are:
Routine 1 - Inner Dancer
Routine 2 - Rhythm
Routine 3 - Low & Funky
Routine 4 - Hip Hop Groove

Each of the dances are broken down into 8 counts and consist of two sections. You learn section one, run through it a few times. You learn section two, run through that a couple of times and then you put both parts together without a break.

Juliane does a great job in breaking down all the moves. First she gives you a basic move (Julianne calls it a lifeline) that you can come back to should you get lost or just need a break. Second, she gives each move a name which after attempting Tracy Anderson dance cardio, I find to be very helpful. Lastly she does a great job in cuing the moves, although I will say she is overly peppy.

Now while there are two ladies dancing behind her, there is no modifier. All of them are performing the same moves in all the dances.

Things I did not like about the workout.
1) Number one gripe in most dance workouts - camera angles. Some of the angles used made it difficult to pick up the dances. Either they weren't showing the feet or they were cutting in and out and going from girl to girl that it was difficult for me to follow along in some spots.
2) The music. It is not that it isn't a good dance beat, rather it is just the same music I hear in a ton of Hip Hop Dance workouts. In fact one of the tunes, I think is used in three of the dances.
