Step and Stretch

Jane Fonda
Year Released: 1994

Categories: Step Aerobics


This tape is very similar to the step and abdominal tape in that different instructors rotate teaching the routines, and it is followed by a segment (stretching) with Jane Fonda After doing this tape twice, I thought it was okay, and this review sounded different before I deleted a bunch of my old text! I must admit, I bought this tape because I'm too chicken to buy Cathe Friedrich. There were some moves that I had not done before, so it seemed interesting. But, I did this video again today, and geez, I was bored to tears. I never thought I'd say that about a video, because when all I had was her first step video and the Reebok Step, I used to think I just liked simple moves, nothing complicated. But I realized after doing Kari Andersons's Two the Max I'd never experienced that feeling where you are working so hard on the choreography, that the workout is just a side effect, and before you know it, the workout is over and you feel great. This morning I just kept thinking, okay, we've done enough step-taps on this side, let's get moving and try something else. Everything just seemed to be repeated over and over again. I finished the video, but I think it'll go into the exchange list. I think it's a good intermediate video for someone that really just wants basic choreography. The music is okay and the instructors are okay. I think I've just gotten a small taste of more advanced choreography, and want my mind challenged as well as my body.
