Step Ahead

Candice Copeland Brooks
Year Released: 1992

Categories: Step Aerobics


I checked this tape out from the library and only got to do it twice, so bear that in mind when reading this review. I read the mixed reviews on VF, but this was recommended as a good intermediate/advanced video for those who don't like "dancy" choreography, so I thought I'd try it.

Others have already mentioned the "mall-hair" and the outfits. Some of the other reviews either loved the music or hated it--but the music was so low that I could hardly hear it.

There are three exercisers. One demonstrates beginner-level variations.

I really, really liked this video. The only other step aerobics I've done has been Gin Miller (The Video, Circuit Challenge, and Intense Moves) and what little bit there is in Firm Videos. The moves were interesting without being too complex--just complex enough to make me lose my place a few times the first time through! And the actual stepping section is 44 minutes long--according to the reviews I've read this is one of the longest stepping sections on a non-advanced video. Overall this is a great video. I highly recommend it.

Instructor Comments:
Candice cues very well and is very likeable. I didn't care for the 80's style hair, but hey, it's the workout that's important after all.
