Sorry to say.....Sep 27, 2007 .... I just didn't like this one. I am an upper intermediate to advanced home exerciser, and I tried the step portion several times, but just couldn't get into it. I got bored and thought that Kari, although very fluid, was just not my kind of instructor. To me, she just seemed a bit TOO professional - I want to have fun in a cardio workout, and this was just bland for me. I gave it two stars just for the fact that it has cardio benefits, but for me it just wasn't much fun. I would rather workout to Michelle Dozios or Keli Roberts - they both pack ultra intense moves that are fun and motivating. This one just wasn't worth the time.

Fun, challenging, complex step & floor aerobic workoutJan 14, 2007 If you're knew to step aerobics you'll want to start with Kari's excellent "Go: Step for Beginners" (which is actually quite challenging) and then move on to this wonderful workout, as the movements here are much more complex. It includes a 30 segment of step aerobics, another 30 minute segment of both atheletic and dance-oriented floor aerobics, and a 5 minute cool-down.
The music is mostly a fast-paced club/techno style, and I recoginzed a few of the tracks from Jari Love's "Get Ripped: Slim & Lean" workout. Kari is joined by four female exercisers set against a soft yellow and coral-lit background.
Kari is such a lithe and graceful fitness instructor. Her more choreographed movements offer a pleasing challenge and don't "look" stupid like I've seen on some other exercise vidoes - particularly when its obvious that the instructor isn't a dancer yet is leading a dance aerobic video. Kari however, is both, and it shows in all of her artsy yet purposeful movements.
I would label this as an intermediate to advanced aerobic workout (it's especially advanced if you combine both segments) of moderate impact, that not only requires a lot of energy to pull through, but a lot of dedication to master. Not long into the first workout, Kari herself is shining with sweat!
I'd definitely recommend this video to anyone who enjoys both step and floor aerobics that are more complex, well-choreographed and offer a fun cardio challenge.
