I bought this video because of the rave reviews it received at this site. It's a terrific workout, either on the floor or with a moderate step. I thought I was so macho, so in shape, I decided to dive right into this one using a nine inch step. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Voight indeed does a terrific job pushing up the heart rate and testing your aerobic capacities. The nine-inch step is going in the closet until I feel mastery and control in the movements. Squats, leg lifts and the like are most effective when executed properly, not when scrambling to keep up.

On that note, I would recommend that other step novices, like myself use this as a tape to strive to live up to.
