I love this video! It's 56 minutes of fun. There are three step segments followed by toning sessions with PowerFLEX band. She help you work your back, triceps, shoulders and biceps, slow lunges off the step with biceps and rows, then on to tricep dips off the step then push ups. The step sections are tough if you add power. My heart rate was up there the whole time and barely came down during the toning because of the added lunges. The third step section was my favorite. This is challenging if you add hops with the knee lifts and lunges - you'll definately burn calories. I also like the PowerFlex band as an alternative to weights. As Cathe says, "Variety is the key!"

The only things I don't like about this tape are, the step is pointed toward the tv the whole time. My living room doesn't deal with that well but I do manage to have "just" enough room. I also don't care for the funky shoulders in the cool down, but that's just a personal preference and it's for less than a minute so I can deal with that too. I recently bought Gay Gasper's Step-n-Stones II - this is SO much better than Gay's. Kelli's Circuit Training is an A+ tape and one that will absolutely be in my heavy rotation.

Instructor Comments:
Kelli is the queen of abs and stretching! I get the best stretching and ab work done with her direction. She's the perfect mix of coach and friend.
