Step workouts are generally quite fun for me. I pick up routines fairly quickly, and don’t have too much trouble with complex choreography. Music that fits with the routine is always a plus, and it makes me want to reach for those DVDs again and again. I think this workout is going to be one of my fun favorites, and therefore I will get some good use out of it. The reviews written before mine have done an excellent job of breaking down this workout, but I feel that Carole Paradise really thought it out when she designed this DVD. Each section blends nicely into the next, and even while she is building up in complexity, you never feel like you are having any trouble keeping up. In fact, I didn’t even preview this workout before doing it. I jumped right in and I got all of the choreography the first time. I don’t know if it is the excellent cueing done my Carole, or if I am just used to step workouts, but I really didn’t have to concentrate on memorizing the routine. It just flowed nicely, and I never got tripped up.


The workout is done on 6”, but I think that the next time I try it I will go up to an 8” step. There are very little high impact moves, and therefore I think it would be easy to raise the height and get a slightly more intense workout.


The music was good, but I have heard most of it in other exercise videos. That didn’t bother me though - I just recognized it as I would a favorite song on the radio.

Instructor Comments:
I think Carole did an excellent job with this workout. She is comfortable in front of the camera, and she looks like she is having a great time. Her cueing is outstanding, and I would definitely be interested in other workouts she does in the future.
