This is a surprisingly very nice workout. I reviewed it awhile back (along with my 10 other CIA sale videos), and thought - not too impressive. Well, this is another case where I was wrong! Denise uses moves that you would use while playing other sports. Cross country skiing (doing a low deep lunge off the back of the step while extending the cooresponding arm), down hill skiing (hopping side to side with both feet together-as if doing mogles), football running, karate kicks,in-line skating strides...etc. They're put together nicely, flowing surprisingly well from 1 sport to the next. The tempo is not fast, but intensity is not compromised. One of my regrets is the step section is short, only 35 minutes. I don't do the sculpting section 'cuz I have my own free weight program-so I can't tell you more about the rest of the tape. Another is that darned StepMax music is back from the grave. But, all in all this is a very good tape. I give it an A.

Instructor Comments:
Denise has good cuing, but she is not overly enthusiastic. She is not overly talkative. She talks to you, giving you pointers,cues,etc... but nothing extraneous. I found her very likeable.
