This was the first step video I ever owned. I found the Buns of Steel Step 2000 kit at Target in 1994, which contained the step box shown and this video. I have bought many exercise videos over the years, along with some gadgets, many of which are long gone. I still have the step actually, don't use it as often as my club step but it does come in handy here and there. The video however I still do quite regularly.

It is led by Tamilee Webb, she is joined by Megan and Lori who appear in many of the Buns of Steel videos alongside her. Tamilee and Lori exercise on a 6 inch step, while Megan uses an 8 inch step, the entire workout including warmup and cooldown is around 25-30 minutes. The setting is pretty drab, same as many of the Buns of Steel videos, which has never bothered me.

I have used a lot of step videos over the years, surprisingly this isn't as basic as one would think, but it certainly isn't hard either. About all you will see are knee lifts, side leg lifts, hamstring curls, over the tops, straddles, turn steps, taps ups, etc. Tamilee puts all these steps into two simple combinations that are easy to follow, she cues well and will step from your point of view (or mirror) so you can see if you are doing it correctly. Believe it or not, there aren't any basic steps in the whole routine.

This video is my old "standby". I have had it longer than any of my other videos, and I have bought a lot, probably over 300 total over the years. I can honestly say, I will never part with this video. It's not that hard, may not be the most exciting but I enjoy it. No matter how many times I start and stop a fitness program, this is the one that gets me up and moving.
