Kathy Smith - Step Workout

Summary: Great Step Video!
Review: I just bought this video a couple of weeks ago and WOW! I am fairly new to step and this workout really kept my heart rate up and I was really sweating. There are 3 segments to this video. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. I just got through the Beg & Inter the first time I did the tape. No really fancy moves, just your simpler steps that are more sports oriented than dancy. There is also a small ab segment and about an 8 minute upper body toning segment so you will need weights with this video. I definately recommend it for someone looking for a good solid step video.

Summary: I love it! WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE ON DVD!
Review: I bought this after my 2nd baby was born. This is THE BEST workout tape I've ever done. I use it all the time. I love the 3 part segments. If I'm feeling lazy on some days, I only do the first 12 minute segment. It's easy to follow & gives you a good workout. I like this tape because I can actually follow the moves without getting lost...and still get a good workout. All other tapes are either so difficult with moves that I can't keep up & it's no fun, or either so easy there's virtually no challenging workout. The biggest plus is that because I have a bad back, this is a safe workout that I don't feel I'm at risk of injuring my back. This is the best workout time I own & I'm desparate for it to arrive on DVD. Anyone know the answer to that?

Summary: a different opinion....
Review: I found Kathy Smith to be difficult to follow, and just plain irritating. She makes up her own terminology for familiar steps which make the workout difficult to follow. Her cueing is inconsistent and there are even times in which she is off the beat. Of all of the step workout tapes that I have, I like this one the very least!

Summary: Makes You Sweat, Easy to Follow
Review: I'm really pleased with this videotape. I tried the Keli Roberts step tape and maybe someday I'll go back to it, but it was just too complicated for me. I felt like an uncoordinated klutz trying to follow her moves. This tape by Kathy Smith was much better for the average person. I've done step before and am pretty athletic, so I wouldn't describe myself as a beginner. I was able to keep up with Kathy aerobically, and after a couple of times, was able to follow her moves well enough to avoid having to pause and rewind the tape to figure out what was going on. My alternative exercise is a four-mile run, and frankly I found this tape even more challenging. By the time you get through the three aerobic routines you will definitely be sweating and breathing hard!! I really liked the fact that she finishes up with a simple leg, abs, and arms routine. You can skip it if you want, but I like to use it most days for some additional toning. I'm planning on using this tape regularly on the days when I don't run.

Summary: Tough, but worth it!
Review: This tape is great! It's a bit long, but it's broken down into three step segments, so you have an opportunity to stop if it's too much for you. Today was my first day to do it, and I couldn't make it past the second part. Very effective moves, and easy to follow.

Summary: Great video!
Review: This one of my favorite step workout videos. It's a complete body workout. Kathy es very well coordinated and the video is adapted to all fitness levels. She is very dinamic and easy to follow. I'd recommend this video, specially if you are new at stepping, you'll learn the techiniques and all the different ejercises to help you shape your lower and upper body. Once you feel more confortable with this video, and become more advanced in stepping and want a more challenge workout try the Kathy Lee Power Stepworkout, which is a great one too.

Summary: amazing low impact workout
Review: I had been looking for a low-impact workout that really gets my heart rate up. I found it! Even with heel problems I am able to do this video. You can easily adjust it to your fitness level because it is divided into three sections. Kathy smith not only has excellent queing, but she is very good at teaching the moves. It is very easy to follow, fun, and a great workout for weight loss or just general cardivascular heath. I highly reccomend this video.

Summary: My favorite step video.
Review: I borrowed this video over the summer, and got addicted. It is a great total body workout with good instruction. When I gave the video back, I set out to buy my own and couldn't find it anywhere. I bought four other videos and none came close to this one. (Thank goodness for the net and Amazon, without whom I would have had to live without this great workout) You may find the music a bit cheesy, but I didn't mind it, since it is a small price to pay for all the good things in Kathy's routine.

Summary: Kathy Smith Step Video
Review: This is a perfect workout for any beginner, the intensity is great. Some of the moves are identical to Kathy's Powerstep workout.So when you graduate from this video, Powerstep will be a cinch. I really like this video and I recommend to any Kathy Smith fan.
