Customer Rating:      Summary: Frustrating at first, but eventually great! Comment: This DVD is incredibly frustrating at first, Karen moves quickly and without warning making it hard to keep up with her. The first few times through the DVD, I got so frustrated that I turned this workout off and popped in my old DVD routine.
After patience and many more tries, I got accustomed to her routine and was able to keep up. It's a high intensity work out; it will definitely get your heart pounding! She does alot of jumping and working over the step.
All in all, this workout is not for someone who hopes to pop the DVD in and get into the `flow of things' right off the bat. But if you have patience to keep trying time after time, it is worth it!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great workout Comment: This is a great workout. It is definately an advanced workout but if you can stick to it it is great.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I hated this video Comment: I did not have a step but i thought it would be ok, its not. Without a step this video is useless. I used it once when i first got it and haven't touched it since. I do not even remember sweating when doing it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This is a hard one! Intermediate/Advanced exercisers Comment: I bought this video because after trying Kathy Kaehler Basics - Workout Class I became a fan of step workouts.
I needed some variety to add more options to my cardio and strenght training, in order not to get bored, and this workout has both.
This is a good one for your collection if you look for some variety like me and you already have some experience working out.
I think this DVD is aimed for an intermediate/advanced exerciser who is familiar with step to be able to do the cardio circuit, otherwise you might be disappointed 'cause it is really hard to follow, at least in the beginning when you are not familiar with the moves.
It took me some time to be able to follow it, cause it's fast and Karen doesn't cue very much! Or she does it when she is already in the next move which is a little bit confusing for me. I think this is a very fun workout once you learn the moves, and Oh my! I sweat like crazy!
The strength training is very complete, but I don't like that you have to use a step mat which I don't have.
I wasn't too crazy about the stretch part, which in my opinion was hard to do and too short. I prefer something more traditional that allows you to relax more.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Pffffffft Comment: This is more about building muscle than getting a good cardio workout. You also need a lot more room than I have to do some of the moves she's showing here. Found her really annoying.
