Jeff and Scott's Step Factory

Scott Cole, Jeff Vandiver
Year Released: 1995

Categories: Step Aerobics


This is an intermediate-level workout, both choreography-wise and intensity-wise. It would make a very good transitional video for someone at the beginner level moving to intermediate, because the steps are explained very well.

Jeff teaches all of the step section, and Scott teaches the (short) toning section. Some of the moves are a lot of fun, like "slice the banana," which is a corner-to-corner over-the-top while kicking your leg up. The music is fun and invigorating as well.

Scott wears his jacket and cap throughout the whole workout. The cap doesn't bother me, but I don't know how he can stand to keep his jacket on! This doesn't have any bearing on the workout, of course, but I just found it odd.

At the end, there is a wonderful stretch routine. Two of the class members do it as partners and it looks *so* relaxing that way. I always do it alone, so I guess I'm missing out, but it's still good.

The production quality of the video is excellent, as with their "Classic Cardio" video. I find the workout a lot of fun. It's great for days when you don't want to work at top intensity, but still have a good time. I give it an A.
