Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
This multilevel class is safe for and accessible to beginners, and just right for intermediates. Three of Fonda's able and motivating instructors teach the 45-minute step class. Half the room does lower-intensity moves; the other uses higher steps and higher-intensity techniques. The teaching technique is excellent: a pattern is taught on the floor before taking it up on the step. One participant does the routines totally without the step to guide beginners or others who don't feel comfortable using the step. The patterns never get very complex, but they are varied enough to keep you interested and energized, and you can adjust your step height to make the workout harder if you wish. The instructors cue seamlessly. Fonda herself teaches the 10-minute abdominal segment, with enough variations of the standard crunch to keep your abs contracting and your mind engaged. --Joan Price

Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic and Abdominal Workout
I've been doing this workout for many years and it is still one of my favorites. I only wish it was on DVD.
A classic!
I started this routine shortly after it came out. I still use it today. I know most of the words by heart and can use the routine with my mp3 player - no video.
I like the variety in the class, the change of the music, and the change of instuctors. I have to admit, when I'm pressed for time, I skip the warm up and cool down, and only sometimes do the ab part, but the aerobic part of this video is very productive without making anyone turn and twist when tired which is so dangerous!
This is my favorite of every workout I have ever tried.
I love this tape. I had it a long time ago and it wore out. I was so happy to see I could get again.
This is a wonderful tape. It is kind of old. But I love doing it. It was easy to follow.
Still the best!
I have been using this workout over the years since it first came out. Those who say this workout is "too easy" really don't seem to understand the ways to make the workout more intensive by adding steps, hand weights, or increasing movements. Still, I started this workout in 1992 as my first ever, and thought it was hard enough for a beginner. Once you learn the routine, its easy just to breeze through without having to think too much. However, anytime you want to increase your level of difficulty, the ways are there. Take it easy to burn off that piece of cake, or as your fitness level increases, add steps, light handweights, or WORK harder. To me the ab routine is too hard for a beginner, and certainly I DO NOT recommend it for anyone with a bad back. Better to get a pilates tape to strengthen your core than to do the ab routine in this workout. However, the step routine IS a low impact routine, making it perfect for a beginner, or someone like me who has "fallen off the wagon" in part to injuries from a car accident. This will always, for me, be the best way to get a decent aerobic workout without hurting yourself, and with maximum benefit. You can easily do this workout 5 days a week and still be able to function in your daily life with lots of energy, not all worn out from some killer routine. If you're just an average joe, trying to get rid of 20 lbs and not yet interested in some muscle routine, need to be able to function at work after your morning exercise, just the aerobics please, help your heart out, this is the tape!
They really need to get this on DVD though.
