Yep, I’ve got some creaky spots, one of hazards of accumulating birthdays, lol!

I need a decent warmup at my speed. This usually means I do a CS workout first.
A frantic "warmup" just for the sake of saying they have a warmup to start things off is really disrespectful. It tends to throw off the pacing of everything else, anyway. I also require good instruction. Simply telling me things isn't enough. I need to see somebody doing the whole move, start to finish. If the camera pans around too much and manages to miss the useful information I need, it's a deal breaker for me. Interesting camera work is all very well and good, but if it prevents me from having any idea what the moves are supposed to look like it is a waste of my time and money. I'm not a dancer, and apparently I do best when I get reliable cuing all the time. Every move, not just at the start or whenever the instructor feels like it. One workout that works for me despite errors in the camera work is Jari Love's original Get Ripped. The vocal instruction is correct, so I can overlook the fact that a few times what they show doesn't quite match what's being said.

Modifications. Whether there is an actual modifier or the instructor shows options or points out where modifications can be made or does easily-modified moves, I don't care. But I want it to be easy to do my own thing. I don't insist on an actual modifier because so many of them are so bad/lame at it that's it's a distraction rather than a help.

I generally don't care much for most warmups because they're often as intense as the workout. (Cathe could make an entire beginner series by just compiling a bunch of her warmups!)
Cool down and stretch -- that's what I need. And none of this stretch to the left, stretch to the right, deeeep breath and you're done. Thanks but that does not cut it. I want to lay on the floor, stretch the actual parts we worked, and relax a bit. |

Anna it's a pet peeve of mine when they say, "pay attention to.." and I CAN'T because you have managed to pan out and show everyone BUT the modifier
