Gin Miller is the inventor of step aerobics. She's got all the moves and she is a great instructor. She's tough and motivating and she's not over the top like some fake instructors. She's pleasant to watch and makes you want to get up off your [...]. She also lets her sense of humour come through which is nice and refreshing.

There are four workouts here and she is one of the best cuers around. This is no exception. Each workout targets a different section of your body. You use weights (wrist or ankle), dumbells and weighted balls. You don't do floorwork, but you either sit or stand so you can get your best form. It's a long workout if you do it altogether, so I prefer to do it in parts. You are going to feel the burn let me tell you, but you know what? It's an excellent workout and because it's motivating, I'm doing it and seeing results.

I did the dumbbell and ankle/wrist weight workouts back to back. When I first started I was afraid I was wasting my time and thought maybe I should have put in a Cathe video instead, but the time flew by and it was fun and different. I maxed out on weights as much as possible and boy, did I feel it the next day. In fact, I was already sore that same evening (and I don't get sore very often anymore). The workouts are a bit slow-paced going from one to the next, but I used the breaks to get extra reps in, or a drink of water. Overall, it ended up being very effective.

Being able to purchase 4 complete workouts on one dvd is wonderful. The workouts themselves are moderate in my opinion. Gin does take time to set up for exercises and explains sometimes too much, and I can see where this could be a bit annoying using it over and over. Yet, the workouts are solid and Gin's queing and form are definitely some of the best out there. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a variety of weight baring routines.

Gin Miller is one of the best home workout instructors in the business. Her instructions are clear and effective. She also has a sense of humor in her presentation of the exercises. I love the workouts because the exercises that comprise the workout are thorough.
