Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Kathy Smith's Step Workout is a splendid introduction to step for the novice, and a solid workout for intermediates. The main workout consists of three 12-minute, progressive step segments. Beginners do only the first, then fast-forward to the cool-down; intermediates do the first two; seasoned steppers may do all three. The beginning segment uses very simple moves repeated frequently: the basic up-up-down-down, knee lifts, toe taps, leg curls, and leg lifts. The intermediate segment introduces more moves, still presented simply, and puts them together into simple combinations. It's athletically more challenging, but not complicated. The advanced segment adds more strenuous moves such as straddles, lunges, and gentle propulsion moves. After the cool-down is an abdominal segment using the step as a slant board, and then a short upper-body sculpting segment starting with pushups and then using weights. At the end, a special teaching guide for novice steppers demonstrates the basics of stepping. Experienced steppers who like a lot of choreography will get bored quickly, but if you want the athleticism of step without complicated choreography, you'll be happy here. Smith's cueing and safety guidelines, as always, are excellent. --Joan Price Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great home step aerobicsI just finish this dvd and I must say I was sweating crazy. The step workout varies from beginning, intermideate and advanced level. I used the taller platform for beginner and intermideate segment and the shorter platform for advanced. I liked the ab section and I improvise my weights during the toning section, I used heavier weights recommended from the workout. I love it because it's a total body workout in 1 hour, comparable to gym class without the distraction. The outfit, music, or quality ... Read More Rating: - Back to straightforward step aerobicsA wonderful alternative to going to the gym. You will need to purchase health-club-quality step (I got mine on-line) which is a bit pricey, but worth it. The video quality is good, commands are clear, music is acceptable and appropriate to the moves. When done all the way through, the workout gets intense. Bonus intro to strength training is short and sweet, making the point that there is more to fitness than stepping. Too bad that the fitness clubs have all but eliminated step classes. I keep telling ... Read More Rating:  - Not the bestI did not love this workout. I have done step before and even the advanced portion was boring and simple. I enjoy a workout where I can break a sweat and I end up skipping this one on my DVD shelf more often than not. If you are just starting out with step it's probably a good option; if you have done step before you will probably find this too easy. Rating:  - Dated, but a good workoutLots of fun...I like this DVD not only because of the workout, but also because of the information it gives to the stepper...I didn't know that stepping was the equivalent of jogging 7 miles per hour! She also give step heights for different abilities (Beg/Int/Adv) and very clear, consise instructions. Okay, the clothes and hair are a bit dated and the music is kindy hokey, but I did get a great workout and was able to redo the previous section with just the push of button to get a full 45 minute aerobic session ... Read More Rating:  - Not the best workoutI actually love Kathy Smith... but definately this is not her best work!! Way too much dance movement and quick to change from one exercise to the next. I don't feel your body actually gets a good workout. I'm not impressed. Browse for similar items by category:
