It's the best!
This video came out in 1994, I didn't buy it till 2007. I think it's the BEST step video, and probably the best of all aerobic workouts, that I own. It really stands the test of time, as you can tell from people leaving postive reviews for this video for several years now. I'm high-intermediate to advanced but when it comes to step, I don't like to learn complex choreogrpahy because that just wastes precious workout time. This one was easy to learn, it's fun and enjoyable, yet still challanges me, because Kari demonstrates different advanced options during every combo. Just choose all the advanced moves if you need more challange. Choose all the easier moves if you are still learning or need to take it easy. Kari is my favorite instructor, definitely my favorite step instructor. She's so much fun! I wish this would come out on DVD! Kari's Go! is perfect for learning basic moves, then follow it up with this one and prepare to have FUN!

Fun step workout for all fitness levels....
This is the only video I have by Kari Anderson, who is known for complex choreography which is not my cup of tea. This is a great video for those like me who like simple choreography, this workout is a lot of fun. Kari is an excellent instructor and I am glad that she made this video. She is very graceful and a joy to watch, her cuing is right on too.

Kari is joined by 10 others, one side of the room with more advanced level exercisers, the other side with less advanced though there are a variety of step heights being used. She starts off with a warmup then you move into a simple but fun step routine. The choreography and her cuing makes it easy to catch on right away. You will see basic steps, knee lifts, repeaters, hamstring curls, turn steps, V steps, rear leg lifts, straddles, and over the tops etc. Kari gives you a lot of options to up the intensity if you choose to do so. There is also a heartrate check to measure how hard you are working.

After the step work you will cool down for a short abs and back routine, then move into the final stretch. There is also a motivational, pep talk segment by Kari for those who might need a little extra motivation some days.

This is an excellent video, and a good one for those who want to try Kari's videos but stay away from complex routines. Highly recommended.

Seems easy but makes me sweat like crazy
This is a beginning-mid? step video. Moves are easy to learn. At first, I wasn't used to Kari Anderson's style so I was a little put off by the ugly outfits and the cheesy music, but after doing the step video a number of times, I realized how well planned the video is. It's a great exercise for all your problem areas.

Ab section is a killer. But wonderfully painful

A worthwhile purchase
Having just gotten back into aerobics after a long break, I found this video to be just what I needed. I liked the choices it gives you to work at your own level. I also appreciated the camera work, which mercifully stays still and lets you focus where you need to. And finally, Kari is an excellent instructor who neither bores nor condescends. The steps are not too complicated and the interest level remains high. Highly recommended.

This is a great all around STEP workout!!
