Aerobics Impact
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.
Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.
Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.
Aerobics Choreography
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Certified instructor description: A lower-body-focused workout that combines classic squats and lunges with newer core and balance techniques. You'll definitely firm your buttocks and thighs as you're motivated by the movement variety (and Gilad's boot camp-style charisma/energy — “now drive it!” “pull, pull!”). It's more than an endless series of basic lunges — instead, you'll get pulses, supersets, progressions, short/long range-of-motion and lots of core focus (which often makes a standard routine feel and perform differently). Gilad also includes short breaks between the sets — they range from simple stretches to almost-cardio step-touches and jumping moves. Filmed on a Hawaiian beach. ©2006.
