 Low intensity workout June 22, 2005

I think Jane's first step workout is far superior to this one. In this tape the instructors change too often, and the workout is not challenging. However, the cueing is good, and I would recommend this to a beginner. For intermediates or advanced, this is probably too simple/repetitive and won't provide for a good cardio workout. I don't expect I'll be doing this again.
Moderate intensity workout January 7, 2005

I did this tape once when i got it yesterday. it made me sweat but i was not totally out of breath like with some aerobics tapes. The 40 or so minutes goes by fast since different instructors keep coming on.
my calves really hurt today and i wonder if thats from the stepper. it is a good kind of pain though :)
I recommend this to anyone who wants an in betweeny excercise (not too light but not high impact either) although u do do a few jumping jacks.
Great! November 4, 2004

I am an excercise addict. I work out six days a week every week, and probably as a result, I have found that most excercise videos are just too easy!
This one is not easy but neither is it so hard that you will kill yourself in the process of excercising to it.
Sweat was pouring down my face at the end of the cardio work, but I felt really great afterwords, because I really felt like I had done a good and solid workout.
Doing the 15 min stretch with Jane Fonda after the cardio work really worked wonders for me. I felt so relaxed and good that I could actually feel the stress just fading away.
But this is an older video, so the music is not so good, and if you are used to step aerobics you will find the coreography a bit basic in some parts of the video.
But this is still a great investment if you like excercise videos. It will burn off those calories and you will see the results if you stick with it!
And what is probably best of all is that the instructors actually seem like real, nice and geniune people. They have great cuing and timing and really try to help and encourage you through the workout. None of the cheasy, fake and horrid encouragement is present on this video unlike on most excercise videos, which just make me want to punch the screen.
In short this is a no nonsense cardio/stretch video which will get the job done!
 Fun and moderate intensity workout March 8, 2004

I have five step aerobic videos- Gilad step in Waikiki, Kathy Smith step workout and power step, Jane Fonda step and ab and this video. I like all of them but this one has become my favorite. The reasons are:- Moderate intensity
- The moves are kind of dancy but they are repeated a lot.
- The music has a touch of disco music.
- The instructors have unique personalities that they make me laugh everytime, even after 20 viewings. Like most Jane Fonda videos, the atmosphere is very friendly, which I enjoy. ...
Best Step Aerobic Tape Around September 7, 2003

Back in 1996 I bought the Jane Fonda step and this tape was part of the package deal. I've since bought other step tapes (and a few on DVD - although there aren't many around these days since Pilates, Yoga and Tae Bo style workouts are the "in" thing right now), including the Jane Fonda Step and Abdominals workout but this one is still my all time favorite - so much so that I wore out my original copy and recently bought another one. I work at an intermediate/advanced level and this tape can still get me to work up a good sweat - but back in the day when I wasn't in such great shape, this tape also catered to my beginning activity level - no problem.There are many aspects that make this tape superior to other step tapes around. First of all, it's fun, the instructors are great and enthusiastic enough to get you motivated without being annoying, and it's long enough to allow you to feel like you've really done a decent cardio workout. Many other tapes out there have only 30 minutes or so of cardio, but this one has 40. Also, the four instructors that guide you through the workout are clear, on cue with the music and enable you to keep focused on what you are supposed to be doing by giving you the heads up before there's a move change. Another thing that makes this tape one of my favorites is that it's clean and sharp and the moves build off one another in each of the 11 intervals in a logical way. Other tapes I've bought for the step don't seem to do this very well - often throwing in random moves that don't seem to have anything to do with the one you just did or the ones that follow. The 11 intervals that comprise the workout gradually build up from a warm up, peak at about interval 6 and 7, and then gradually take you back down in activity level to the cool down in a way that's very smooth and natural. My only complaint about this tape is that it is a tape. I'd love to have it on DVD!
