This is one of my new favorites. Kari has outdone herself. She is back with her class in a bright setting with curtains behind her and some new fun choreography.

She does a nice intro and then you do 30 minutes of fun fun stepping. Collage says it's beginner. NOT! It does start off basic but Kari keeps adding on untill she teaches you complex turns and one is a shuffle repeater like STep Jam but she actually pivots on the step! Very tough but fun. Then she also does mixed impact too. The music is upbeat and you really get into the tape! It has some of the tunes from Body Max which I love and she ends with this perfect "ta da" on the step. You have to see it. This little kid's voice comes on before the step workout to introduce Kari and it's so cute. It must be Kari's child. Anyway, then there is 14 minutes of body sculpting. Lunging for the lower body. Then there is upper body delt lifts (2 sets), alternating front lifts, lat rows, bicep curls and then you do Shoulder work (rear delt work and rotater cuff work which was great). Then pushups (Kari does full pushups). Then she does chest flies and tricep press using the same dumbells. French press finishes off the upper body work. The music is from Cathe Friedrich's Step fit warmup (fun stuff!) and BodyMax. Kari does crunches and oblique twists. Then some great lower ab stabilization (Keli Roberts calls them the Dead Bug) work using the step. Great music that I haven't heard before. Kari then finishes off with a VERY thorough and relaxing stretch for every muscle. She doesn't leave anything out.

I just love this tape. It is perfect for this busy Mom. This tape is a winner. No mistakes, perfectly cued, fabulous music, fun, smiles, Kari's wonderful personality, I love it!
