The other reviews posted about this video are very thorough in explaining the logistics of the video, so I will just add my personal opinions. I really enjoyed this video! I am fairly new to stepping, but am an advanced floor aerobic exerciser, and I am so pleased with this video. The beginners section was fairly basic, but in the last two sections, she really spiced things up with lots of turns, knee ups, repeaters, hops, jumps, lunges, combinations, etc. All the hops and jumps can be taken out resulting in an extremely effective low impact step routine. I was able to make it through the whole thing, but was sweating madly at the end. In fact, I was having so much fun, it was over before I knew it. My face was bright red, but I didn't feel tired, I was rather refreshed instead!

One of my first workout videos was Kathy's old Fat Burning Workout. This was a great tape as well and really turned me on to Kathy Smith. After now doing Power Step, which is "newer", I have to say that I am now annoyed with her style in the Fat Burning Workout. In Power Step, she seems much more relaxed and calm. She also strikes me as more mature, hip and more "90s", if you know what I mean. She doesn't do a lot of hooping and hollering and sort of reminds me a little of Karen Voight in the subtlety department.

All around--a fabulous workout. I hope to see this video on the list of Favorites some day. It deserves to be there.
