Step & Sweat.......2008-01-15
What a fantastic all-round DVD! The workout consists of 3 step routines, 2 toning routines which target both the upper and lower body, an abs section and a small butts & thighs section at the end. You'll need a step (obviously) and a set of light and medium weights. The step routines will get you sweating. Initially, the routines are quite difficult to follow, especially if you're new to step, but after a few goes you'll be able to step to your heart's content without having to watch the screen too often. The toning routines are excellent for both upper and lower body - you'll see results quickly. The abs session is a toughy and you'll definitely feel the burn. All-in-all an excellent workout done in just under 60 minutes.
Good for ideas for instructors.......2006-03-16
I have been searching high and low for a decent step/conditioning dvd and as an instructor who teaches freestyle and tap free step, it has been hard.
Howver, even though this is not tap free step, I was able to claw some really good moves from it and put together a good routine. It is hard work out which is what it should be, however, there should also be breakdowns so newbies to step can pick it up. She did give options, but probably not enough.
The conditioning part was fun and hard and took me back to when step first became popular.
If your looking for a hard work out and love step, this will be a good one for you. If you are used to tap free, this might be a little difficult, but I was able to work without the tap in the routines. This dvd is professionally done and is put together very well.
Fun but definitely for advanced.......2006-03-10
I had thrown out my VCR and desperately wanted to replace my favourite step videos (Keli Roberts Ultimate Step or Cher Fitness). This is one of the few dvds I could find. The moves are similar to those in other routines I've done but it moves so fast that it's hard to keep up. Also, there are few examples of easier options if you get tired so you need to be fit to start with!!
Love It!.......2006-01-16
This is a great step video. I used to do step a few years ago and decided to get back into it after getting bored with the gym. This video is fairly challenging but very effective and after a few attempts you can get through the routines without having to concentrate on the footwork too much and enjoy. You will sweat and walk away feeling like you've had a great workout. The ab work at the end is hard but Karen is encouraging and you'll see results quickly if you keep on.
Awesome.......2005-07-10
Karen Voight is a true professional, and this is just another GREAT excercise dvd from the workout queen.
This is a REALLY gruelling but awsome cardio and strength routine. For the cardio there are 3 really good step sections and alternating with the cardio sections there are strength training sessions for the entire body.
This is fairly advanced and you will be sweating a lot. If you are new to excercise you might want to try something a bit less challenging first. But if you are an advanced excerciser you will LOVE this one.
Now if only amazon would sell more excercise dvds by the legendary Karen Voight

A dissapointment compared to other Karen Voight's dvds.......2006-01-27
This dvd is a 45 minute workout that includes a 25 minute part of standing yoga poses and a 20 minute floor work. I have enjoyed many of Voight's dvd's before and so I expected a perfect product this time as well but I was dissapointed. Its hard to pinpoint exactly what makes it not as good- It is inconsisstent having very difficult excersises but very little of them. The floor workout for example (which is presented as a short pilates workout) has only two abdominal excersises but they are so difficult that it's not even possible to do all reps of them. I also noticed that modifications are not always available which is a shame. I still recommend most of Karen Voight's other videos. They are by far supirior to most other fitness videos in the market.
