Level
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.
Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).
Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.
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.
Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.
Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.
Toning Emphasis
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.
Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.
Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.
Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Certified instructor description: Four separate 15-minute segments, each one features a distinct workout technique. They're all athletic and challenging, with lots of plyometric power hops and full-range-of-motion moves (exactly the “tools” you need to burn fat and build stamina). The first three sections use the step. You'll begin with sports-based movements like slalom jumps, basketball shoots and soccer dribbles. Kickboxing is next; it's less choreographed with an emphasis on lower-body-focused kicks and squats. Then it's super-challenging fast/faster (aerobic/anaerobic) intervals. The final segment is classic hi/low aerobics (definitely more higher-impact than low). Throughout, this 1999 IDEA Instructor of the Year, always shows clear cuing and perfect technique. ©2005.
