CIA 2801: All Cardio Step (2008)

Challenging? Yes. Well cued? Yes. Complicated? Absolutely.

If you''re new to step routines, I would recommend you look for something less difficult. I have done step routines for years and find this DVD to be one of the most difficult I have come across. The instructor does a nice job with well-timed cues, however, there is little to no explanation to the steps, which are very complicated. The cardio aspect is okay not difficult to maintain. If you do DVD''s as often as I do (most mornings), it''s nice to find something that will take me a while to master. This one will be in my rotation for several years.

Wow ... in order to purchase and do this workout, you MUST BE FIT already and also, extremely extremely coordinated. OMG. I do step aerobics often and I am an intermediate exerciser in general and fairly coordinated. HOWEVER ... this is almost impossible for me and I gave up after one try.

I gave this 5 stars because if you''re looking for tough and want to get your heartrate up and have fun, this is an excellent workout. I couldn''t deduct stars purely because I couldn''t keep up with it. Gay is a supurb instructor who is proficient at what she does. She makes it fun and never misses a beat.

The music is great and makes you want to get up and do something even if it''s your own routine. There are more males in the class than we usually see in exercise dvds, and it''s a nice set as well. Trust me when I say, that this is an excellent buy if you are extremely advanced. I really believe that''s the only way you can do this workout. (you may also want/need to do your own warm up first, as this isn''t really included).
