Step Reebok: Best of Step Reebok TV

Gin Miller
Year Released: 1994

Categories: Step Aerobics


This is FUN FUN FUN! The video is broken down into three basic sections; Basic, Power, and Funky. I was a little leary about "funky" because I consider myself terrible at choreography, but I think I did pretty good!

The basic workout includes turnsteps, V steps, etc., all added to each other until you do everything together. Power is done the same way including power, and same with Funky. She also shows variations with no power or without the step. There is a very brief segment at the end where you do squats one leg on and one leg off the step on each side, I think they were 8 each and a very short cooldown with hamstring stretch.

Things I didn't like was there was no stretch of any help, but that was probably due to the fact that these were edited from TV and she usually tells you on the show to be sure to continue stretching on your own. I wish they would do a heart rate chart because I do not like their Perceived Exertion chart.

I consider this an intermediate workout, even though I can do Intense Moves on a 6 inch step this one was still challenging, especially when you add the power and it was more than worth the $4 I spent for it! I liked it much better than Step Reebok The Video, and can't compare it to Step Circuit Challenge or Intense Moves because it is not really that kind of workout, I would consider it more steady state aerobics with power thrown in so you can elevate your heartrate more with it than straight stepping, but not as significantly as in IM.

Instructor Comments:
Gin is so zany in this one! I started with Reebok's Step Circuit Challenge and although she cued well, I found her stiff compared to when she is on Fit TV (where I was first introduced to Gin). I love her intereaction with the participants and her ability to laugh when she missteps.
