Step Heaven is a sweatfest! Once again, Christi rules by creating complex step workout that remains fun!. It features three "stages." Stage one is all step aerobics with moderately complex choreography. Stage two is more complex, and the step is set up vertically. Confusing as heck to me; I still haven't gotten all the moves. Stage three alternates step aerobics with weight training. Good music in all three stages.

I won't get into the specific moves as that has already been done. If you like complex choreo, great music, and step, do this workout! Any stage can stand alone, so it's like you are getting three workouts in one.

Good points: Christi cues pretty well and seems very energetic and sincere. The music is outstanding and fast paced. Once again, it is the music that keeps me coming back to Christi, even if I think I'll never get the moves down. There are some high impact moves, but you can easily substitute some lower impact moves.

Bad points: if you are not used to Christi's cueing, you will want to look at the modifiers to work up to her level. The problem is, you can't see them! They are all the way in the back! Plus, the set is pretty crowded. There are five girls plus Christi on the set, making it difficult to concentrate on anyone but Christi.

Funny points: the redhead messes up a lot. There's also a blond to the right of Christi who steps like a robot. She is so stiff and her mouth hangs open half the time she's stepping. Christi also messes up sometimes, but hey, it is complex choreography.

Instructor Comments:
Christi is having fun and it shows! Excellent cueing.
