Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Four of Jane Fonda's instructors take turns presenting an energetic 45-minute, moderate-intensity step workout. The frequent switching of instructors adds variety and interest, and the different teaching styles keep the workout feeling fresh. The choreography starts out very simple, and as the workout progresses, so do the moves, although the patterns never get terribly complicated. Each pattern is taught clearly, practicing the base moves before adding on arms, styling, or intensity. The cueing is excellent. Occasionally one of the participants demonstrates lower-intensity modifications in case you get tired or need to adapt a move for your fitness level; another shows how to raise the intensity for more experienced steppers. After the step workout, Fonda herself leads a relaxing 15-minute stretch--no extreme flexibility required. She repeats stretches, because you can take a stretch deeper if you do it more than once. This is an excellent tape for an intermediate exerciser with some step experience who wants an effective, enjoyable workout and a nice, long stretch. --Joan Price

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for beginners!
It's old school, but it offers a lot of different routines and they change instructors before you get bored. Now that I'm more advanced I'm finding that it's not quite challenging enough, but it's great to start out with.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - FUN Step workout
I love this workout and wish all step workouts were more like it: fun, varying in uncomplicated steps, and enthusiastic.

I honestly forgot I was working out and the time flew by.

The cueing is the best I've seen on any workout DVDs I've done.

Enjoy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome Workout Tape!
I purchased this tape on ebay earlier this year. It has become my favorite step aerobic tape. The music is great. The tempo is excellent. The instructors give great cues. This tape is great for a person new to step aerobics. However, the instructors provide modifications for the intermediate or advanced stepper. I agree with the other reviewer that I am drenched in sweat and have to head to the showers right after! The stretch segment is great also. Worth the purchase. I keep crossing my fingers ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Best There Is
I love this video as much as Jane's first step video (Step & Abs). This one has an intermediate music tempo - around 124 beats per minute. To me this is wonderful. Too many modern step videos have tempos as fast as 134 beats per minute! I just don't believe that's safe. I love everything about this video, even the music. I love warming up WITHOUT a step. You do not stretch before this workout, but you get such an excellent stretch afterwards that I think it's fine. The stretch portion is ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Workout Tape
I bought this tape a few years ago in a discount bin. I love it. I am at about an intermediate fitness level and I found the tape to be both challenging and fun. I love the fact that the instructions rotate every few minutes. It keeps my attention and makes the workout seem much faster than it is. I also really enjoy the stretching at the end of the tape.
