Mixxtreme Fitness clip @ collage

The clip is up at collage. I have mixed feelings about them. Yes they are more controlled than DB and she talks a lot slower but I think I may pass. I have the 2 fusion DVDs from DB and I never reach for them. I also don't like the white background at all. I will wait to hear from other VFers.
Also my brain has been taken over by Warrior Yoga 365.

whoa! that is white. I don't know why I looked, I'm not interested in it. It made me laugh when she was just standing or sitting there while doing a countdown. Other instructors walk around, stand by background exercisers, point at what they're doing, and pretend their countdown is motivation to finish.
Also, the moving plies, "it's left and center, and left and center and left and center" although she's moving left and right. Was she trying to mirror cue and then forgot? These things don't bother me, but I know I've seen them listed on "dealbreaker" threads. Actually, the more I watch the clips ,the more I like it.

Ok, at first, I thought these looked great! I want them! Then she startedSHOUTING THE COUNTDOWN and shouting is a major turnoff for me. I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN INSTRUCTORS YELL AT ME.

I'll wait and see if the go on sale someday.

It's hard to tell with the stark whiteness of the set, but is anyone else seeing gliding discs on the floor? I do like using gliding discs so I'm kinda interested but the shouting during the countdown was off-putting to me as well.

Ooh, yes! Those do look like gliding discs. Fun!

I also don't like it when instructors clap right into their mics. I've had instructors do that in live classes and it's loud. Annoying.

So... If I don't want these, why do I keep watching the clip over and over?

I liked the text descriptions a lot better than the clips. The exercises shown do not appeal to me. Also, if an exercise is hard, it's very disheartening for me to continue to try to finish when the instructor quits halfway through.

I loved what I saw--except the white background. I already ordered from Mary, so I am hoping when i do the workout it won't bother me. Watching and doing can be different. Anyway, the exercises look great.

In workout #2 - are the backgrounders twins, digital images of the instructor, or does everyone just reeeeaaaalllly look (and dress and color their hair) alike?

Me no hate but I'm not rushing to order.

Yes, this is certainly true. They look sufficiently challenging, so some of the irritants may not be a biggie b/c you're working so hard.

These look great. Wish they had downloads (not streaming).
