Absolutely Horrible!!!, November 13, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Absolute Body Power: Intermediate Step Workout (DVD)
I have never written a review for a book or a DVD before, but I feel compelled to do so now. This is absolutely the worst DVD I have ever purchased! I actually thought it was a joke at first. After reviewing the first 15 minutes, I actually took it out of the DVD player and resisted the urge to throw it in the garbage. The instructor, Alan Harris, is rhythmically-challenged and unbearably obnoxious (if you can believe it, he comes right up to the camera and yells). He was off beat so many times I stopped counting. The choreography is boring and uninspiring. The production quality is laughable and clearly the work of amateurs. I just tried calling the production company, M2K, to complain. Now that I've opened the DVD I can't return it, so I'm going to let everyone know how horrible this DVD is.

Don't waste your money!, November 12, 2003
This review is from: Absolute Body Power: Intermediate Step Workout (DVD)
My original review disappeared... here we go again! The dvd has a 14 min 'how to step' segment then a 40 min step workout. The 40 min segment is not programmable, so you can't repeat/skip sections. I bought both Vol.3 and Vol. 4 and find that although the workout gets you sweating, it has the SAME arm movements thru the entire workout (although Alan does say you can invent your own patterns). There are too many participants and they are all over the place and not keeping up with Alan. Alan himself hardly ever leads the class, he is always hopping off the step and running around the room, the camera angles are terrible (you can even see the 2nd camera person in many shots) and they focus on the faces of the participants and not their feet or the step so it is difficult to follow. An amateurish, back-yard production dvd with a premium price tag.

BAD... REAL BAD, June 17, 2004
This review is from: Absolute Body Power: Intermediate Step Workout (DVD)
What is this?!?! I couldn't even finish this horrible DVD. The camera sometimes focuses on people's faces and you can't see what to do with your feet. Although, all he really had you doing was stepping up and down on the step. He doesn't know how to put together a fitness routine and the other people in the video don't seem to know what to do either. I liked the instructor's energy, but I wanted a workout DVD... not this junk. Don't buy!
