Best Fitprime yet!, February 25, 2003
This review is from: FitPrime Volume 4: Steamin' Cardio with Kelsie Daniels [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This tape is superb. Kelsie is an awesome instructor. Steamin' Cardio is a much better quality tape than the first few Fitprimes. The moves are a bit different than ordinary cardio tapes. For instance, Kelsie does "handstands" off the 14 inch step. This one does not require a lot of equipment and it does not use heavy weights. The music is great. I would not say the cardio is "steamin', much more like a simmer, but still a good, effective workout. If Anna and Tracie keep making tapes like this one, I predict they will be as successful as they were with the Firm workouts years ago.

Tough, innovative, fun workout, March 5, 2003
This review is from: FitPrime Volume 4: Steamin' Cardio with Kelsie Daniels [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This workout is great if your looking for something new. Kelsie is dynamic in front of the camera and the time flew by very fast. This work out encorporates kick boxing and other innovative aerobic moves to maximize the fun factor. Light weights are used to help create shapely muscles but still light enough to use on cardio days as a cross trainer to a heavy weight workout. A tall step is used to effectively shape the lower body. This workout is challenging and definitely fun for the advanced exerciser. But it can be modified for the beginner.

Steamin' for sure, January 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: FitPrime Volume 4: Steamin' Cardio with Kelsie Daniels [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a great workout. I like that it is not traditional take-it-from-the-top, grapevine, step style. Most of my other vids are like that, which is OK. But, when it's time to shake things up, I think this workout hits the spot.I especially like the compound low-impact moves like the handstand/hover squat combo and the hover squat/spring combo, to name a few. However, I recently decided to skip the handstand portion and just do the squat/spring combo thru that segment because it is better at keeping my HR elevated. There's an editing glitch that causes the counting in one area to be a bit off, but I have been able to anticipate it and do the correct counts on the jump move since it was a very minor glitch. After coming from the FIRM's videos with large classes (smaller now) and varied visual angles, I was a bit skeptical about buying this workout since it was just the instructor. But Kelsie personality and stage presence sqaushed my reservations. It feels like she's right there with me and Ican see her from different angles too. She is gently encouraging and makes me want to eek out the last few reps. It's just the way she says (paraphrase), "Can you do some more? Of course you can." But she's not chatty or overly enthusiastic. Her voice is just dripping with the right amount of honey. She projects that she is genuinely enjoying this workout. This video is a great pick-me-up, especially after I've hit a slump.
