I really enjoyed doing this video so I looked at the reviews to see how my opinion compared to other people who had done it, but was surprised to find there wasn't a review of it. I didn't do the hi-lo (although it looks pretty good), so I can't review it, but I did the warm-up (10 minutes), the step (38 minutes), the resistance training (40 minutes) and the final stretch (7 minutes). The steps were very easy to pick up the first time. They were mostly "athletic" steps - football shuffles, basketball shoots, repeaters, etc. I liked the way they were put together in several routines. The resistance training uses dumbbells, a Body Bar and tubing, and were slow and effective. The stretch at the end was nice and long. My only complaint was that there wasn't much of a cooldown between the step aerobics and toning portions.

I did a total workout of 90 minutes, but the time just flew because I was really enjoying it. I've been feeling good all day since doing it. I highly recommend this tape.

Instructor Comments:
I like both of these instructors. Denise is a little stiff, but cues well. I think Rich also cues well and is one of the better male CIA instructors I've seen. I like the way they switch back and forth.
