There are three workouts on the video: step, kickbox, and funk. The step workout was good - definitely gets your heartrate up there for a long time and there's a story to help you remember the moves. I had a little trouble with the choreography - it was my first step video with complex choreography. But I did better than I thought I would and got an excellent workout. The kickbox portion was a disappointment to me (it was my sole reason for buying this tape). It was just a little too dancy for me (I can't/don't do dance) so I can't really see using any of these moves in real life. I preferred Cory Everson's Cardio Kick to this kickboxing routine. The final routine, South Beach Slam Funk, was a total waste of my time. I felt ridiculous doing the moves and my heart rate went way down - I don't know if it was me (I don't do dance) or bad choreography.

Instructor Comments:
I found her cuing confusing at times - she would say "now back" and I didn't know whether she meant front/back or back the way you came.
