Step Aerobics

Gilad Janklowicz
Year Released: 1992

Categories: Step Aerobics


The warm up and cool down are typical Gilad - thorough. Warm up is about 7 minutes and cool down is about the same. I always continue to stretch on my own after most cool downs - I need to stretch to maintain my flexibility.

I really like this video. I am not a dancy person - feet are willing but coordination is weak. The video is in three sections with the fourth section combining all the moves from the other three. It's sort of easy and it's not hard - just a steadily moving low to medium impact of about 40 minutes duration. The music is interesting as well. The first piece sounds almost Israeli (chosen by Gilad no doubt), the second more Islandy, etc. The moves are not difficult and it seems to go by quickly.

As always, you might want to add this to your collection for variety if you are beginner to intermediate. Advanced can "adjust" the kicks and stradles to make it more difficult.

To be honest, I am a dedicated Gilad fan and it would be hard for me to give even a mediocre video (if he ever made one) a bad review.

Instructor Comments:
Gilad's energy and personality make his videos interesting and fun and this one is no exception. His cueing is pretty good except I think this is the video where his left is right, etc. I think I'll not comment further - what I really want to say about the instructor may be misconstrued as my being a "female piglet"! I saw him in person last year at a fitness fair and his personality is just perfect for the industry he has chosen.
