Donna Richardson - 3 Day Rotation 2000

Pros: only 20 min, 3 different workouts, can be combined
Cons: some of the other ladies are annoying and are not in sync

I just bought this DVD not too long ago. I have not yet had a chance to do the advance work out. I have only done the regular work outs. This DVD comes with 3 regular workouts: circuit toning, kick and jab aerobics and dance aerobics. It also has ...

Pros: Excellent cuing, easy to master, good for beginners
Cons: Richardson's forced banter, not very challenging after a while

On those days when it's just too cold/wet/much trouble to get to the gym, it's always a good idea to have a couple of exercise videos on hand. For a nice light workout or if you're just starting an exercise routine, Donna Richardson's "3 Day Rotation...

Pros: High energy music, good cueing
Cons: Excessive background whooping

Pros: fun, easy to follow, upbeat
Cons: brief cardio sections could be longer

I really enjoy Donna Richardson's workout routines. She's fun, energetic and informative in her workouts. While I love this video, I'm not a huge advocate of the 3 section workouts being so brief and would prefer longer cardio sections. To get maximum benefits, I need to do two sections and fast-forward past the next warmup to get enough cardio in. The pros of this video is that these are no nonsense, 'get results' types of moves, which are executed in proper form. For a beginner this is an excellent video that is well rounded. By incorporating her 'dance aerobics', a nice cardio section that seems less like exercise and thereby makes it seems effortless, she makes this segment a fun fat burner.
