I bought this video sight unseen thinking that just because the instructor has put out other fun videos, this one was guaranteed to be great too. Kathy Smith's 'Aerobox Workout' is one of my favorite all time videos. Alas, I was wrong.This has got to be one of the most repetitive, boring step workouts I've ever done. The only person I'd recommend this workout for is an absolute beginner. I hate videos where I end up watching the clock the whole time - this is one of them. The music is uninspiring and the moves are totally plain Jane. Spend your money on something else unless you're just starting out in step!

I 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.

By far my favorite of the Kathy Smith series, this workout includes a thorough warm up, 3 separate stepping segments for beginner, intermediate and advanced level stepper, leg toning exercises, upper body toning and abdominal work before a relaxing stretch. Just the stepping segments (all 3 combined with warm up and brief cool down before the leg toning) is about 45-50 minutes. The whole workout start to finish is over an hour. The 3 stepping segments get progressively more difficult with more complicated choreography. Her instructions are clear and timely and all exercises are safe, with power moves as an option for the truly fit. The music is just right, the class working out with her the usual crew. All in all, this is my favorite step tape and my favorite Kathy Smith tape. END

I have had this one for years and it is great! If you are new to step this is the video for you.

This would be a great video for a beginner stepper; otherwise, it's pretty boring. It's very repetitive - I found myself counting down the minutes until the end of each section. Ultimately, it did get my heart rate up and I got a pretty good workout. I just didn't enjoy the process at all.

boring! good for those new to step but if you are experienced your mind will drift because it is just dull.
