Step Workout

I have only used two other step tapes (the Reebok with the tribal band, and the one that came with my first step), and this one is by far my favorite. I started using this tape as a B/I, and now I consider myself to be ready for more of a challenge. Kathy Smith makes everything very easy to follow, and even after using this tape for a long time I still have a lot of fun doing it. The warm up is thorough and interesting, and the three progressive step segments are great, because you can just do the first one for a while and then gradually add in the second and third sections, which have a progressively higher intensity and difficulty level, as your ability to follow along and your cardio fitness level improve. The folowing lower bod, upper bod, and ab sections are great for a beginner, and have gotten me ready (I think) to move on to I/A strength workouts. I highly recommend this tape for B/I level steppers, and although I have always found the choreography to be pretty interesting, I see from the other reviews that not everybody thinks so. Also the advice sections at the end are pretty informative and I really appreciated, as a beginner, learning more about the overall fitness aspects of stepping and not just how to do the basic step, etc.
