Great workout!!!!, February 9, 2001
This review is from: Reebok Power Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Gin Miller is an excellent instructor -- I have many of her tapes. She really uses the step in this one. It keeps your heart racing and feels great on the legs. After her original step workout, this one is my favorite. Other favorites are the Circuit Challenge (nice versatility and change from normal step routine), Intense Moves (which I just purchased and is a little hard for me just yet), and Aerostep (which is a good length and easier on the knees than this one). I love the versatility of having so many of Gin's tapes!

Easier Than Expected, February 28, 2003
This review is from: Reebok Power Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the 7th Reebok Step video I've purchased. I put these in three categories: 1. Easier, lighter workout (Aerostep and The Video), 2. Intermediate, more varied or faster paced (The Best of TV, Circuit Challenge), and 3. Advanced (Extreme and Intense Moves). I thought Power would be in the advanced category, really pushing the viewer to the limit. Actually, it is easier than I expected. It has the same background as The Video, with the lights shining through a metal grid floor and Gin Miller giving instructions on a monitor, but it, of course, adds hops, runs, and leaps to the basic moves. Unlike The Video, this workout puts together one long combination that is repeated to the end. I prefer those workouts where you learn a combination, master it, and leave it behind to move on to something else, but, still, it is a great intermediate workout. You use your quads a lot more in this video than in others. There are tons of jumping squats throughout the workout. Another thing that surprised me is that this workout is only 41 minutes long! That includes warmup and cool down. There is no abdominal or upper body work at the end. It is the shortest Reebok step video I have. It had the makings of a killer video, but it's actually at a lighter intermediate level which is either a disappointment or a relief (depending on the person). Beginners should try The Video (the most basic with some energetic lunging in the last step combination), or Aerostep (trickier choreography but very low key with nothing exerting). Those who want a challenge--Get Intense Moves!

Great workout!!!, February 10, 2001
This review is from: Reebok Power Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Gin Miller is an awesome aerobic instructor. And this is one of my favorite tapes for a tough workout, though it's not very long. Afterwards, I always feel 10 pounds lighter (don't I wish!). It does a number on your legs. The original step is still the best, but once you are past it, there is no going back. This is a great 2nd in a whole line of great step tapes.
