Step Reebok, the Video (a.k.a. up up, down down) This is my vote for Step Reebok, the Video, for the Hall of Fame.

I've been videocizing for about 10 years. I have 15 or so keeper videos by various instructors including Terence Dunn, Cathe Friederichs, The Firm, Johnny G., Gin Miller, Reebok (w/o Miller), Kelli Roberts, Kathy Smith, and Karen Voight. Of course, some are better than others. Step Reebok, the Video is one of the best.

With this single video one can get any level exercise, in limited time, in very limited space, with almost no equipment.

Beginner - low step.

Intermediate - medium step w hand weights or high step.

Advanced - intermediate plus propulsion steps.

Intervals - it is possible to make this an effective interval training tape by mixing in sets of propulsion steps.

If done with hand weights - the steps do not need to be modified, only a few of the arm motions require simple and obvious modifications. The arms and shoulders get a very good workout, the legs bear more weight, and the heart rate soars. The addition of hand weights to this video is the key.

Propulsion steps - these are described in detail in Step Reebok, Power Step. (affectionately known as "crimson crotch", but why, oh why did she wear that outfit?) Simply put, these are jumps or hops on the step.

Cueing - Almost impeccable. Ms Miller makes only one clear miscue, and that during the cooldown.

Other - The cast members are attractive without being distracting. No whooping here! Strickly business.

Bottom line - I've done this video lots of times for lots of years. I can get any workout I want. After all that time there is nothing, visual or audio, that makes me wince.

Instructor Comments:
Gin Miller can be all things to all people. In one tape she'll whoop for the woopers and in another she's a friendly drill instructor for the just do it crowd.
