Year Released: 1993

Categories: Step Aerobics


I chose this tape yesterday because I didn't have a lot of time but wanted to get in a decent cardio workout and ab work. I also have not been in the mood to take on too much since this is my first week back after a slump.

One of the things I really like about this tape is that you get a really thorough warmup and cooldown. By the time you get to the aerobics section you are ready to go. Also, no matter how much I like a tape, I am watching the clock after about 20 minutes and wondering when it will end. Fortunately, the cardio portion of this tape is only 25 minutes and it seems like it's over before you know it. It's just fun. It is really perfect for days when I want to work out but don't want to be drenched or exhausted when I'm finished.

The ab/back portion is good too and very thorough.

I never thought about it before I read the other reviews, but I guess it is true that it might not be a good tape for someone who has never done step before. I do think it's a great intro to Kari though. Kudos to her for showing lots of modifications and body types. I really prefer her tapes with a class to the newer Great Moves Series where she is the only exerciser. It just seems more motivating to me.

Instructor Comments:
Kari is great in this video. She is so encouraging and energetic and she looks like she's having so much fun you can't help but want to join in.
