Thank you VintageVFer and zraipel - I saw/read enough to get a good giggle. A towel cover is a great idea! The YouTube clip made the workouts look fun! but the reviews ...

I wouldn't call her "the most annoying background exerciser," but Beth from Jessica Smith's workouts irritates and distracts me. She has such poor form in some of the workouts, and yet she does the supposedly advanced moves! I really like the band workouts in 6-Mile Mix for example, but I just can't look at her. She barely has any tension in her band and she doesn't follow Jessica's form pointers. She just puts me in a crabby mood.

I agree, Joni. She also doesn’t start hopping right away when Jessica says to follow her for higher impact and sometimes she doesn’t even hop- she just bounces so it looks like she’s doing higher impact. I like Raquel better - she’s got more energy and starts the higher impact moves without being asked.

Then I looked at the preview totalfitness has. Holy Moly! She just gets worse and worse, doesn't she!
I found the whole workout on YouTube. She looks like she’s dying, poor thing.

Yes! It's a mismatch to have her as the "advanced" demonstrator especially for strength and balance moves. She doesn't put me off of Jessica's workouts, but I don't watch her.
