I don't think I will ever tire of this workout. It is an excellent blend of step and strength training. I especially like how the step and the strength sections are 1 minute each--it keeps the workout interesting, and it keeps the heartrate elevated. This is a good video for all levels--it's definitely one you can grow with. The step choreography is basic. Since the workout is broken down into 3 10-minute segments, a beginner could do the first segment using all low-impact. An advanced person could use this on a light day by doing all power moves on an 8" step for the full 30 minutes, and using heavier weights. The workout uses an exertube, but one of the background exercisers always uses dumbbells. This is the video that helped me advance past the intermediate level.

Instructor Comments:
Gin Miller's cuing is excellent. After I had done this video two or three times, I didn't even have to watch her--her cuing was so precise. In this video she achieves a happy medium between "Goofy Gin" of Best of Step Reebok TV and "Big Brother Gin" of Reebok: The Step Workout and The Power Workout. She is friendly but not overly chatty. Very encouraging, too. This is the video that sold me on Gin Miller.
