Like Wendy, this was my very first Step workout. My husband got it for me for Christmas with the Step that came with it. Boy was it hard when I first tried it. It is a very good tape for introducing someone to stepping, with lot's of breakdowns and close-ups of the feet during a move. The instructors change during each routine. They all are very good and motivating, but I find the blond (Laurel) annoying with all her "work that body" comments, etc. Before I found this site, I only had this tape, Step Reebok, Kathy Smith Step, and Kathy Smith Buns and Thighs Step. I did it regularly and thought it was a good workout. Since I bought a heart rate monitor, I now see, that I barely get 15 minutes of aerobics, and that's only because I add power and start stepping even when they are teaching the breakdown of the steps. So, I would have to say, I've outgrown this video. On to more advanced tapes! I don't know if they still sell the step that came with the video, but I would not recommend buying it. It is much wider than other steps and shorter, so it can't be used with a lot of the newer more interesting videos which use the full length of the step.
