4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed this video so much, decided I needed one for myself., March 23, 1999

This review is from: Buns of Steel 2: Step Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a wonderful step workout video for the seriously out of shape, over-weight, or two left feet people. The steps are easy to follow, and the workout is timed just right for people who are wanting to get into shape, but haven't exercised for a long time. My sister talked me into doing this video 3 times a week, and I have already lost 4lbs, just because of the increase in exercise. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star is the repetitiveness of the steps, though that can be a plus until you get the routines and moves down.

I started stepping about 1 1/2 years ago. Out of sheer luck, this video was the first step workout I found. I'm glad it was. I did not consider myself to be in bad shape; however, I had not stepped since a high school P.E. class nine years earlier. My calves burned big time and I had to rest in the middle of the workout. After a while, I got to learn the moves, added additional stretches for my calf muscles, and flew through the routine! Now I use it when I feel tired but still want to get my workout in or when I'm hard-pressed for time. I also use this tape when I want to try a higher step level.

This video is perfect for the beginning stepper because Marsha Macro's combinations are so simple. She introduces you to the basic step, how to change legs while stepping, and the over-the-top move. In fact, over-the-top and knee lifts are probably the most complicated moves on this video. Her moves are very deliberate and are clearly explained. There are no steppers in the background which may be confusing for beginners and there are no fancy arm movements. Only the natural arm marching movement is used. The workout also only lasts 20 minutes, including a warm-up, cool-down, and stretch. It's finished before you know it. Plus, by adding propulsion
(incorporating some power moves and getting the arms in the air) and using a higher step height than usual, one can get a higher level workout in a short period of time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, April 15, 2003

If you are horribly uncoordinated, like I am, but want to start doing step, this is the perfect beginning step workout for you. Or if you need a step workout to do when you just don't feel like working out at all. This video gives you a great workout, don't get me wrong, but it is only 30 minutes long and the moves are uncomplicated, so it's easy to follow. I got my heart rate up and felt great doing it! I wouldn't suggest it for the person who is looking for a fast-paced advanced step workout though. I have used this video for quite a few years and still love it.
