I really like this tape! For days when you may not have 60-70 minutes to workout this one fits the bill perfectly. I will not go into to much detail about the break-down of the video.

It starts of with the warm up with most of the moves on the step at a slower pace than the body of the workout and some nice stretches. The aerobic section is about 30 minutes in lenght. Short, but a good workout. There are some really great moves in this tape. The jump up V-Step then hop off the end of the step is great, but you have to be carefull of foot placement or youll topple off the step! And there is also a fun repeater off the step then on the step move that a blast. The choreography is a little bit dancier than Cathe, but not nearly at Kari's level. Lots of hip swivels, cha-cha's, and "attitude" Im not fond of dancy aerobics, but this ones fun and do-able even on the first try. He does show some power and ooptional moves shown by the background ladies, with lots of turns.

Overall the intensity is low advanced, but you could make it more powerfull in lots of places. He does take a little bit more time than necessary teaching the moves, but after you do it a couple of times you can go straight to the finished moves instead of breaking it down each and every time. It hink if you are looking for a good step tape with some 'fresh' new choreography, you'll love this tape.

Instructor Comments:
Jay is really fun to workout to. His cueing is great and his choreography is intersting. I wish that more male instructors had his enthusiam.
