Another old Reebok step video, and a very athletic workout, if somewhat disjointed-feeling sometimes. The set is an industrial warehouse flooded by "sunlight." After a simple warmup, you do segments that combine simple step moves with strength/athletic moves. I.e. L-step-over-the-top 3 times, jump on and off the step--then side-plank on the step with one-armed pushups for the lats. This combination felt a little awkward--you're doing this very cardio-wise step sequence, then abruptly get down on the floor to do these side-plank pushups. Gin takes a lot of time to demonstrate it, too.

You go on to two-knees/running basic/3 airborne jacks. Then a chasse to the side of the step, side basic step, jacks, and a series of jumps that eventually have you (theoretically) doing full 360-degree jump turns. (Yeah, right, not me!) Then down into burpee plus two pushups plus optional jump. The last combo consists of side lunges and pulsing side squats plus a pendulum on the step. There is one "transition" move of rocking-horse type moves on and off the step, cued by one of Gin's male exercisers--he cues it almost EXACTLY the same each and every time, it's rather eerie.
Gin TIFTT alot, then runs through the whole thing 3 times at the end. It was certainly anaerobic; I would sweat and pant a lot, but in the end didn't get the same high that I get from an intense steady-state workout. There are innumerable exertion checks. I still don't really feel that those side plank pushups should've been there. I'm a little lukewarm on this one, though I did like the set, Gin's demeanor and the cast.

Instructor Comments:
Peppy and lively without too much chatter or goofiness in this one. Good cuer as always ("in four more we'll...). At one point near the end she's silent for a slightly uncomfortably long time (catching her breath? At a loss for words?) while the crew keeps doing knee-ups. But in general, vintage Gin.
