First and foremost: These reviews are about products and how beneficial they are, please don't rate these reviews based on how you feel about Kim, even if you haven't used the DVD.

Anyway. In my opinion, these are fun DVD's that get the job done. It really does remind me of the old school 80's workout videos, but this is distinctly modern and gives you a killer workout. It was a plus to me that Kim could look glamourous even as she's sweating and getting fit. It serves as inspiration lol.

Overall, I give this 5 stars because it was challenging, fun and inspirational, which is what we would all like.

I purchased this product because I am physically shaped like Ms. Kardashian and I believed that this workout dvd would help me to keep my shape. Needless to say, I watched the dvd before I actually attempted and was disappointed. Then I actually worked out with the dvd and realized that the cueing was terrible. I am not a beginner stepper nor am I considered an advanced stepper but the cueing and moves did not allow me to have a good workout.

I got the abs sculpt DVD and I loved it - decided to get this one too. This is not as intense as the other one but its way more fun because you are dancing and doing moves that focus on your butt which is my biggest problem area. I love using minimal equipment but all you need is literally a step.

I saw the trailer on this and it made me want to check it out. While I am not a big Kim fan I do like her body and how she keeps it altogether. The workout was great, The first time doing it was a bit tricky getting the moves which is normal with TV fitness. But after that I could follow it and the music was fun. Only at the end during the full routine combo routine did it get a complicated but it gave me a good workout. Def a good workout DVD regardless of whether you like Kim or not.

I love Kim Kardashian and was excited to get her step video, but after trying it out a couple times I am severely disappointed. I dont consider myself a beginner stepper but the step routine is difficult to follow. There is no tuturial or help section or anything like that to show you the moves, plus the camera angle changes very frequently so I am never sure where to look on the screen to see what her feet are doing. The cueing is quite poor and sometimes her voice-over doesnt match up with what her feet are doing which really bothers me. I am planning on trying all of the dvd's a couple more times and hopefully I'll eventually be able to get the routine down and add a couple more stars to my review

I purchased all three of Kim Kardashian's Fit In Your Jeans by Friday DVD's. To my surprise, I really enjoyed both the Abs Body Sculpt and the Ultimate Butt Body Sculpt. I thought both were done well with Jennifer Garaldi as the trainer. Nothing was too hard to do but I really felt the workouts the next day. The only one out of the three Fit In Your Jeans by Friday DVD's that I truly didn't like was the Butt Blasting Cardio Step. Kim IS the trainer in this DVD and does NOT do a good job. There were no real instructions, Kim and the two exercisers just jump in and do their thing and you're supposed to follow. After trying the other two DVD's in the series, I was excited to work out with the Butt Blasting Cardio Step DVD because I enjoy doing step cardio workouts but this particular DVD I felt it was a total waste of money! I have some other step cardio workouts (although somewhat old) they are very effective and at least walk you through the moves. I highly recommend purchasing both the Abs Body Sculpt and the Ultimate Butt Body Sculpt but don't waste your money on the Butt Blasting Cardio Step. Patrick Goudeau isn't even in the DVD to work out with you.

I was a little hesitant to buy the Fit In Your Jeans By Friday DVD series, but now that I did, I am not disappointed. I am reviewing the "cardio step" DVD here:

I am NOT someone who's usually coordinated enough to do "routine/choreographed" type workouts. I was horrible at anything involving dance moves or cheerleading in high school. I figured this step routine looked like a lot of fun, but I figured I'd probably get totally lost. I am so happy to say that was not the case. Kim goes over each step in each combination enough times that it makes it easy to follow.

The music and setting is nice and not overbearing at all. The total workout is around 50 minutes long, and I was shocked when I realized I was doing the cool down and had done the whole thing. This workout is literally SO FUN that I didn't look at the clock once to think "Is this over yet?"

Best part is, while it is fun, I do feel like it's a fairly decent cardio workout. I know it got my blood pumping and my heart rate up. I worked up a really good sweat.

All you need is a step and a little bit of space in your home (not a whole lot of space is even needed.) This DVD is a really fun way to get some cardio exercise into your day.

I am not too sure what Butt Blasting means- but its fun. I love dancing and the description said this workout involves Cha Cha Cha and Mambo moves, so I bought it and it haven't been disappointed yet!

My fitness level right now is Advanced Beginner, and this was the perfect intensity for me (maximal challenge, but still doable). The choreography is creative, very very fun, and not very hard to follow. The exception is a "box step" on the step that seems needlessly injury-prone (I just do a regular basic step instead...doesn't change the intensity at all). But this video is VERY poorly cued...Kim cues 1/2 beat too late through the entire video. She doesn't demonstrate the moves before you do them either, but I managed to follow 90% the first time through anyway (and got a great workout). After two or three times doing the video, explanation of the moves is not an issue. Kim's personality is very uninspiring (and I disagree with the review that said it is not fair to give a rating based on that...instructor personality and attitude is a huge factor in whether you stick with a particular routine). Overall very good, and I expect to enjoy this routine for a long time and do it often.

Of all workout types, I hate cardio the most, and I haven't done step aerobics since about 1992. Nevetheless, because I loved the other two DVDs in this series, I tried this one... and I love it too!

This is an intermediate level step workout -- the choreography is tricky the first time around, but by the second time I got the hang of it and now I know it well. Thus, for me the choreography is just right -- varied enough not to be boring, but straightforward enough that I can put my all into doing it properly.

Kim, in a voice over, cues very well, and thankfully does not indulge in a lot of overly chipper "pep talks" like some instructors do. She is gently encouraging. The focus of the DVD is working out seriously, and I find her calming and charming.

Psychologically, I love the fact that the workout is divided into several 10 minute segments -- this coaxes me to do as much as I have time for. And I will continue to do this one -- it is both fun and effective, two things which are the most important to me when working out.
