I love step workouts--any kind, in the gym, at home, anywhere. My favorites through the years have been Jane Fonda's, Kathy Smith's, Kari Anderson's, and Karen Voight's. I also like Kathy Kaehler's Workout Class, the Cher tape, and the one from Kim Kardashian. The Firm tapes with step segments are great too. I do the more complex choreography step workouts at the gym mostly because of space. I only use the flat bench--no risers--and think that all of the stepping has helped my knees--I've noticed this in yoga class where certain poses don't bother my 48 year old knees.

Because of this thread, I just ordered Cathe's Party Rockin' Step - both #1 and #2, plus Jenny Ford's compilation with Step by Step, Spicy Step, and Hi-lo.
Damn enablers! Step was such a favorite of mine. But between DH's home office being in the same room as my workout space, plus new furniture which is harder to move, I've stayed away from it. I'm going to have to figure out how to make this work. Both sons have moved out of their rooms and maybe one can be configured to be large enough to do step. They are about 10x11', and most of their furniture will have to stay.

I too love step, especially since I cannot run anymore due to knee arthritis. My favorites are Jane Fonda, Kathy Smith, Kari Anderson, some Cathe Friedrich. I have bought DVD's to replace my old VHS workouts, and I really wish I could get the Fonda tapes as well as the Kari Anderson older tapes on DVD.

Now you have me wanting these! I have done step workouts twice this week because of this thread and forgot how quickly the time flies. The other day was Kathy Smith's Great Buns and Thighs step workout that was nice and easy cardio with a great lower body workout, and today was a premix from Cathe's Low Impact Circuit. The music in that one is awesome.

I've always thought Jenny Ford is an under rated instructor. She is very low-key (definitely no whooping and hollering here), but I prefer that style of instruction. She has an obvious passion for what she does. I wish she'd put all her step workouts on DVD. That zombie one looks fun to do for Hallowe'en.
