You'll get two full workouts and three add-ons - pure step aerobics, step aero/tone intervals and targeted toning. They're all exceptionally well-designed and well-cued. Both step segments feature very smooth transitions and easy-to-follow combos (Cathe Friedrich gets her intensity from non-stop action and wide-ranging movements).

The all-step workout is very do-able - interesting variations of just two combos. The interval program alternates progressively-more-challenging step-aerobics with circuits of classic muscle toning (e.g. squats, bicep curls, push-ups). Finally, each of the toning sections target just one muscle group with varied routines done at varied tempos. Requires at least three sets of dumbbells. A stability ball and X-ertube are used in the add on toning. ©2004. Not available in stores.
