Step Reebok: Intense Moves

Gin Miller
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Step Aerobics


After doing PowerMax , Energy Sprint and 2-hour CIA workouts without any problems, here comes a video that makes me realize my fitness level isn't what I thought it was. Intense Moves is a very difficult 10 sprint workout that has so many power moves and jumps, your heartrate will soar to heights its never been. From hard, harder to hardest, you choose which level fits you, and you can do it for 15-30-45-60 seconds. One move that I don't think I will ever be able to do is the jump from one side of the step to the opposite side without touching the step. I've seen that move on one of the older CIA tapes and would never attempt it fearing my legs would never make it. In a way this video depressed me because I thought I was in top shape. It's amazing that Gin can talk while doing the "hardest" moves, and she has a lot of weight to propel. The non-vocal music is excellent and all new, and makes me like the video even more. Gin gives instruction and tips at the end of the tape, instead of the beginning, hinting that the tape should be viewed before being done. You need to have two full days of rest in between this tape, but she adds that you can do other Reebok tapes the other days. Since I disliked Reebok AeroStep and Reebok Power Step, I was a little hesitant buying this tape. But I was pleasantly surprised at its structure and intensity and will do it once a week adding an extra 20 minutes or so of light aerobics. Gin should do Intense Moves II to keep us from being bored doing this tape over and over as an interval workout. But then again, Energy Sprint II never came to pass. I agree with Wendy that this tape will make the Hall of Fame.
