 Step Reebok: The Video
ASIN: 6302749336
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Great workout, fantastic instructor and approach...
Comments: I started using this video in college. My step aerobics instructor used this for our PE tests so that she would be able to observe and score us. I appreciate this video more than any other step video that I've ever used.
I love the music. The industrial setting is an interesting variation to the basic "workout room" setting that you see in so many videos. Mostly, I cannot begin to count the times my friends or I have commented on the perky and annoying facial expressions or attitudes of the instructors. Obviously they enjoy fitness, but most times it comes across as fake on videos. I appreciate the fact that Gin Miller is no-nonsense, "let's just do it" in this video. I find that I respond much better to that attitude. I enjoy working out and I am motivated to do so, but I don't enjoy videos in which instructors seem more like cheerleaders.
I would highly recommend this video to anyone who has similar preferences. I do alternate it with other videos so it doesn't become repetitious for me, but it is my favorite of all the aerobics videos I own. You can't find any better for step than Gin Miller.

Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: it's motivating
Comments: i've done step for years, mostly three times a week and bought this video after reading customer reviews. i was really revved up from it. granted, gin's comedy routine is a bit odd but also charming. i do, however, agree that it is becoming more irritating as i use it but her floor routine is so fun it doesn't really matter. one word of caution though, if you have bad knees, or a knee, like i do, some of the moves are a little too much, but there are modifications that you can do to help that a little. trouble is you'll probably want to keep up with her, because it's more fun when you do.

Summary: I almost completely gave up on Gin...
Comments: After doing this video the first time. After buying her Intense Moves video I was soo impressed. But on this video the lighting is soo dark. They have a person doing modified excercises in the background, but it is so dark and she is so far back you can't see her! I am soo surprised at the great reviews on this one, but I guess to each his own. I thought she had lost her mind doing the slide into a one armed push up! It's not that it was too hard, but it was uncomfortable and she called the moves way to quickly for any fitness level. (my personal opinion only) The camara person focused on the top of the body when she was demonstrating alot of moves so I was wondering how the heck I was supposed to do the move. If I could have given this a -0 star I would.

 Step Reebok: Circuit Challenge
ASIN: 6303223400
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Fast Paced Bordom Fighter!
Comments: If you're bored with your workouts and/or want to get maximum benefit from your time this workout is for you. It consists of three 10 minute blocks of circuit training. The blocks fly by very fast because you switch frequently between cardio and strength. No way you'll get bored! Your heart rate may slow a bit on the strength section, but if you put more effort into the cardio section it is like doing windsprints, which can greatly improve your cardiovascular fitness. You will see results with this video. You can do all three circuits, or just one or two.
The video shows most of the people using an exercise band for the strength sections. I use free weights and they work fine for me. You really need a variety of sizes of weights--I use 8 and ten pound dumbells.
Gin Miller is a great instructor. She is intelligent and has a good sense of humor. She has great muscular legs! Her cuing is good and she never patronizes you.
Don't worry about the reviewers who say they weren't working hard enough. You WILL get a good workout. And if it gets too easy, raise the level of your step platform and add power moves!

Summary: it's good
Comments: i bought this video after becoming bored with kathy smith. although kathy is a sweet lady she usually repeats alot of the same moves in all her videos. anyway, i was glad i bought this one. the moves weren't hard and the routine and music are pretty cool, although i'm at the threshold of burnout and usually just blast my own music over it (to improve motivation) gin is great.
