I have 47 year old arthritic knees and I love the fact that I can increase the intensity by just using the arms and no propulsion. I wish I could do the hops and maybe after I lose the 15 pounds I need to lose I can try adding them in. But I felt like I got a very good work out and worked up a good sweat even without the propulsion.
I am not the most co-oridinated person and I like that I don't have to learn complex choreography. I mess up just with the arms. Also, I have a short step and this routine does not require the longer official step that some other tapes do.
I would recommend this routine. I can see myself growing with this tape. I am going to copy it to a DVD with my DVD recorder. I can't wait to do that and add the chapters for the warmup, step, and ab work out.
That will make this workout more usable for days when I just want to do the ab workout.
Thanks to Amazon for providing this. I couldn't find it anywhere else.

The music tempo is around 120 beats per minute in this one, very slow and basic. Some step videos today have tempos as fast as 134 beats per minute! This seems very unsafe to me. With this workout you can use a low step height on an easier day and up to 8 inches and get a really intense workout. I love all the options of doing high or low impact, lots of arms or low arms. I like to exercise, not dance. The moves are very basic but fun to me. This is one of my top 5 favorite step videos and it's extremely safe. I love the warmup WITHOUT a step. Too many modern step tapes warm up on the step, which to me is not a warmup but the same as just jumping into the aerobics portion. I don't think that's safe. My knees thank me for doing this high-quality and safe exercise video. The length of the workout is just perfect, too. I love EVERYTHING about this workout, even the music! As soon as it's available on DVD, I will buy it immediately.

I used this VHS tape safely for years. I would love to buy it on DVD.

Great, excellent workout program, but has anyone seen this version in a DVD format?

The ab work after the main step/cardio workout is absolutely fabulous. As always Jane Fonda is great at instructing and the ab work is really hard but really worth it, as you almost can feel your abs shaping and toning up during this section.
But the step workout could be a lot better. The coreography is way too simple if you have been stepping for years. And I found that the stepping section was just way too easy for an advanced excerciser like me.
Try the other Jane Fonda video, step and stretch, for a better and more challenging step workout!
