I thought this looked great when I previewed it, but I am sooooo bored by it when I do it. The format is step aerobics followed by strength work, then step again, etc. It's pretty good in intensity -- upper intermediate to advanced -- and during the strength portions, Karen does not do reps to infinity as she sometimes did in the past. She also smiles more and seems a lot more friendly and natural. But despite all the good points, I just can't get into it. Even the first step routine seems unbearably long, and I'm watching the clock after just a few minutes. I think it's because the step moves are repeated too much.

I think where something like this might fit best is for a person who does primarily strength training and wants to add some higher-intensity, but basic, aerobics.
