Keep in mind that I'm extremely picky and usually either "dislike" a video or "love" it. These are comments from only watching the video; I didn't actually do it.

The music is great; some is from PowerMax and the rest is just as good. Gay is a good instructor and the step moves are intermediate/advanced.

There's a very brief upperbody Dynaband/light weight workout and a better lower body workout within the step sections.

Here's what I don't like. The set is one giant ad for Avia. There are very distracting, large red Avia graphics on the floor and the back wall. The Avia step is very narrow and wobbly - also very distracting. There are a lot of bizarre camera shots that are extremely distracting and make the video very hard to follow. The picture continually switches from color to black and white, and also occasionally splits into about 10 small squares -- each having the same picture. Many shots are from the ceiling, making it hard to see what the exercisers are doing. There are other special effect shots that I can't even describe.

If you can get past all the distractions, you might like this video. I have many others that I enjoy a lot more, and exchanged this one immediately. If you don't mind the visual effects in Strong and Smooth Moves, you might really like this video.
