There are such mixed reviews on this tape I wanted to add my $.02. I got this tape and have done it once. I consider myself an intermediate exerciser.

My initial impression of this tape is that it is a good tape for a high-intermediate or advanced exerciser, if you don't have the time (or energy) for a very long workout.

The workout is right around 28 minutes long. It consists of somewhat complex step aerobics. You'll do moves such as the Charleston on the step, cha cha's, that type of thing - dancy, but not in a Christi Taylor way.

The music is very quiet and, in my opinion, didn't fit the workout very well. It was not typical workout music - kind of slow and low-key for almost the first half of the tape.

This tape does not take a lot of floor space - the move that probably takes up the most space is a walk-around-the-step move.

It is almost all low-impact, with a little bit of optional high-impact thrown in.

There are a couple of optional pivots which aren't great to do on carpet.

Overall, I enjoyed this video and will save it for a day when I just don't feel up to a very long workout. It's complex enough to hold your interest for the half hour, and has inventive arm moves which are somewhat difficult the first time through, but give old moves a new flavor.

Instructor Comments:
Pleasant, low-key instructor. Seems to really enjoy her workouts. Cueing could be better though.
