This one-hour (approx) workout goes really fast because you keep changing between step aerobics and toning. The step choreography is basic/intermediate, but the intensity is intermediate/advanced. You do a minute or two of step, and then a minute or two of toning. Gin usually uses resistance bands for the toning, but dumbbells will work just as well.

I really enjoy doing this. It's fun, interesting, and challenging. I give it an A.

By the way, the back of the box cover is incorrect on the workout times. They left out the aerobic cooldown section (about 5 minutes). It may have been changed since I got my copy, though. I think Gin is the all-time best at cueing. You could do her tapes with audio only, and you'd probably never get messed up. On top of that, she's got a great personality and is lots of fun.
