definitely more choreo then is typical

BBB is definitely for people who like the dancey choreo, which I do. I find alot of circuit tapes dull and have to be in the right mood to do them, so BBB is a good alternative for me

Totally my style

I just got this tape from Collage yesterday, and gave it a try. The fairly dancy/complex choreography (Collage calls it "moderate" - huh?) with some deceptively challenging strength sections make this a real winner in my book.

I have a number of circuit tapes (Super Conditioning, Energy Action Circuit, CIA 2K07, etc.) but this is the only one with the complex choreography I love. And I think Tracy and Michelle are great teachers without being "too" perfect - I find them very down to earth.

Thumbs up I decided to copy and post my review here..

Breakthru Body Blast w/ Michele Dozois & TracyYork

Attire: one piece lycra

Set: floor is gray color with a wide black edge, the back wall has what seems Aluminum poles as deco.

Music: techno, drum music recognisable tunes

Fitness Level: Since step segments are intermediate choreography,,, I believe Beginners will be challenged, ... Intermediate and Advanced will do well.... This is a tough tape!!

Workout Type: Circuit Training, that is Muscle Training with step aerobic intervals in between.

Equipment: A long step, Hand weights for those who want can use a Barbell

Workout Length: 53 min 30 sec by my watch.

Efectiveness: This tape will get your HR going and your progress will be what you put into it.

Instruction: These girls are motivating, their cueing is good, they have the vitality and stamina that seems endless.... They draw you in.

Presentation: They keep you motivated, ( I can't imagine this tape not keeping everyones interest!)
