Agreed! I could never do the detailed reviews that some people do, so I just stick to short and sweet--just giving impressions of the workout and what I liked/didn't like about it. Everyone's mileage varies on stuff like this, so I figure even the short reviews/impressions help.

I just added a review of the Guillermo Gomez kickboxing workout.

What does everyone else think?

I agree!

I like short, sweet reviews! I don't consider myself to be good at writting reviews either, but I promise to add more anyway!

Thanks for the discussion! It helps show that there really aren't requirements for an "acceptable" review. They are all good!

I agree. If there are lots of reviews, then short comments help to form a picture; but even if your tiny short note is the only review for a video, it might answer my question. Like maybe I was wondering if this video is crazy fast (maybe I've had that impression of the instructor in previous workouts) so when you say "Good pacing, not too fast and not too slow" you've answered my question.

I like both and all are helpful to someone! Sometimes I want a breakdown, sometimes I want the general idea, sometimes I want both

OK. This is the last time I will resurrect this thread. I hope that people who have gotten shiny new workouts for Christmas (whether from loved ones, yourself, or KCM) will do a review or two in the coming days. It would be a great way to end the year!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

No new Christmas workouts for me, but I got Blissology in a recent trade & will review once I have tried it all. Merry Christmas, everyone!
