The tape was awesome. I watched it once all the way through to make sure I understood her style. I was chomping at the bit to just jump in and start doing the tape.

The moves are exciting but very easy to pick up immediately. The cues are on target. The backup exercisers are not distracting but are as easy to watch and keep up with as Karen is. You can tell they have run through this routine many times to get it right for the tape.

It is also nice to see them SWEAT during the aerobic portion!!! Sometimes, you watch a video and you are drenched in sweat after just a few minutes and the people on the tape are dry. I know that is partly because of the clothes they wear and partly due to editing and doing parts of a routine at a time. However, I feel much better when I see the instructors working as hard as I am. I don't feel so inept and unconditioned if they are getting a workout enough to sweat.

The strength training part is awesome as well. She attacks it a little different than other tapes I have. She adds a little twist that is a great addition to my workout. I am lazy and avoid situps. I know, a well balanced routine includes abdominals, but I just rewind when I get to that part, NORMALLY. But I just followed her all the way through the end. JEEZ is my tummy killing me 2 days later. What a great ab workout without killing me during the workout.

As I said already, I plan on getting more of her tapes. I am a big step fan so I will be getting Energy Sprint next, IF I can find it, that is. By the way, what is the deal with not being able to locate step tapes any more? All I see anywhere anymore is Yoga and Pilates. I find I get my best workouts from step. Any one have any ideas?

Instructor Comments:
Besides the fact that she has now become my newest she-ro, she is awesome. Gin Miller has been my inspiration since I got Step Reebok The Video and I purchase all of her tapes. Maybe her excellence has blinded me against other instructors. Granted, I have tried others but have always run straight back to Gin. With this newest tape, I will be "cheating" on Gin with Karen. What more can I say but "WOW" about her? She cues awesomely, she uses moves that can be picked up right away and she has a body that shows she walks the walk as well as talks the talk. Gin will always be my favorite, but I do plan on going out and finding more Karen Voight tapes.
