In praise of “mindless” four-limbed aerobics

I was doing Firm Cardio Split today and toward the end, there’s a section with Jen Carmen leading four-limbed aerobics and it’s just double step touches with upright rows and hamstring curls with biceps, over and over and over...and I loved it. I think the music helped, but I felt the same when I was doing Firm Strength the other day and there was an aerobic section with cha-chas and tricep work (Pam Cauthen is just so soothing) and when I did Volume 6 with its many reps. I don’t know if it’s the distressing times, my work, or my age, but I am just loving these moments of uncomplicated, four-limbed movements. I think of them as mindless, but that really isn’t the right word since the easy choreography allows me to concentrate on form. I don’t think I’d be up for seriously complicated choreography (which I used to love) these days. Anyone else know what I’m driving at?
