I'm in good shape, but I'm just a mediocre dancer, and I had to spend an extra hour or so, to get some of the steps in my body first before doing the routines correctly. But after I spent the time feeling out the steps and the transitions, I had a great time doing this video. It's an ok workout, and it's fun when you get in the groove.

This video is a good starting place for new "floor aerobics" exercisers. It's challenging but not too hard and some parts are tedious (she does the same move over and over when you already had it 4 reviews ago). I've been doing video workouts for over 3 years, this one I do maybe once every 3 months then stow it away again. She has 2 guys in her "class", one of them just can't catch on and it's very annoying to watch him constantly screwing up.
If you're looking for a beginner's video this would be a good choice, lots of repetition, not a lot of fancy moves.

Although this is not my favorite video of hers, if you are a Petra Kolber fan this is definitely a must have for your collection. It is a 50 minute dance based workout with a real rhythmic beat (hence the name of the video). The dance steps are fairly easy to learn and I don't feel like I am exercising because of the routines. The cueing and cast are great-it is nice to see some young men in this video enjoying the workout. You do need a fair amount of room to do this workout though so you may need to improvise a bit. I would like to see more from Petra but until then this is a good addition to "Step, Rhythm and Moves."
