Not for super steppers only! I rented this video on a whim, because it was the only decent workout video at the store, even though I'm pretty new to all this. (I've only been exercising regularly for about a month and a half.) It was a lot of fun to take some extra workout time on a Saturday afternoon and challenge myself with it.

The things that made this video accessible for me were:

• Karen has great cueing. I'm pretty klutzy but I never got lost for long.
• Several levels for each combination were presented.
• The backup steppers represented many different fitness levels.
• Each combination was built up slowly from its component steps.

The aerobic portion of the workout is divided into seven Sprints, so if you wanted to use this tape for a shorter workout, it would be very easy to choose a few. Or, if you're not sure whether the workout is too advanced for you, you can just try the first one and see how it goes.

The toning portions of the workout were also enjoyable. (I admit, I skipped most of the ab work.) I particularly liked the variety of the upper body work. Karen teaches you several dumbbell moves and then combines them.

In short, if you see this in your local video store when you're picking out a movie, give it a try! I really enjoyed the change of pace after doing the first Step Reebok video over and over. And it was a great motivation to challenge myself, and to look forward to being able to do more of it in a few months.
