This is pretty good -- a keeper. I would call this workout "sort of" circuit training. You start by doing about 20-25 minutes of step with each instructor taking turns. Then the second half of the class is toning, step again, toning again, step again, and toning again. So the second half is 3 toning segments and 2 step segments. The instructors take turns in the second half as well.

This is fun, but not a real killer. Your heart rate does stay up during the step part, especially with Kari's lunge sequence. I'd rate the entire workout as intermediate level.

The toning is done with a rubber tube or hand weights, whichever you prefer. The tape comes with a tube. I paid $24.95 for the workout from Collage, but I recently saw it marked down at Best Buy for $3.99!!!

All the instructors are great, as you would expect, but there isn't enough time for all their personalities to really come through. Despite that, if this was the first you had ever seen of them, I think it would motivate you to get some of their other tapes, too.

My grade for this is A-.

Instructor Comments:
Wow - three of the best instructors on one tape! They're all very engaging and fun.
