Basic Step is surprisingly good and pleasant, and a very likeable workout. I say “surprisingly” because I was afraid it would be too simplistic and boring. However, I would describe it as more intermediate than beginner. Although most of the choreography is fairly basic, some is intermediate, and the intensity is intermediate and steady throughout. Cathe cues late fairly often, but if you’re experienced, the choreography is easy enough that you don’t get very messed up. Grade A for Basic Step.

Body Fusion is a circuit workout consisting of 3 circuits which alternate step and weights. Both the intensity and choreography are intermediate. I thought the first step combo was very boring, but the other two were better. Overall, I consider it an “okay” workout, but there is nothing that stands out with it either good or bad. Grade B.

In addition to these two workouts, there are also 3 mini-workouts: Upper Body Sculpt (20 minutes), Lower Body Sculpt (20 minutes) and Stability Ball Abs (10 minutes). I loved the Lower Body workout, mainly because of the floor work. The Upper Body is also good, but not particularly noteworthy. I did not do the abs workout since I don’t have a ball.
