| I bought mine from Walmart along with the stepper and adjustments ..Cathe Freidrich Basic Step. It paid $25 for the stepper and video. I like it for a beginner step video. She has others online. Also, if you have Direct TV, there are some good step shows on Fit TV. |

| Thanks, byrdseay. Wish I had Fit TV, but at least we have a Wal-mart! Will check it out. So far I've been making up steps on my own. I like step exercise very much. More of a workout than I thought it would be. |

| Bought the Cathe Friedrich Basic Step video. To be honest, for a total beginner (& an admitted klutz), I like the Gin Miller Everybody Steps video better. The moves are simpler & she gives plenty of cueing time. Also, the pace is faster so my heart rate is higher than with the Cathe Friedrich video. I like the Cathe Friedrich video, but I had to keep the remote in hand to pause & replay a lot until I got the routine down. She frequently cues while going into a step, so by the time it registers in my brain, I've lost out while she's moving on to the next move. |

| Have you guys checked out Collage Video? They have hundreds of workouts and they also have short clips of the workouts. Their prices are a little high actually but they have amazing customer service. I would certainly use them as a resource for workouts. I think Gin Miller is an excellent choice. She also has an older interval step workout called Intense Moves which is fabulous. Cathe is a wonderful instructor but even her basic step has a learning curve. HTH |

| Collage Video looks great! Thanks. |

| I really like the Firm, working out with weights reshapes your body. I've also ordered from Collage Video, and I think you can return them if you don't like the workouts. |

| I believe Collage is limiting the return of workouts. You have to read the return policy for sure. |

| hedygs & msmagoo, do you do step aerobics regularly? I'm primarily a cyclist looking for an indoor exercise for the days I can't bike. I'm impressed with the workout step provides, & I swear it's helped my hill climbing. But I get the impression not many do step aerobics anymore -- that it was an 80s phenomenon. I don't know anybody who does step. What do you think? |

| awm03 I think step is still popular. There are a ton of instructors still teaching it. I also love, love, love kickboxing in addition to step. What type of step do you like? Complex choreography, athletic type? |

Hi hedygs,
I like both kinds of step. Choreography for the brain challenge (it's hard for me), & the athletic type for the workout. How about you? Do you have a favorite video? |
RE: Any good step aerobics DVDs?

| I'm complex choreography challenged so I'm more fond of athletic step. If I end up standing and watching a workout rather then doing it...out it goes! A fav? Hmmmm...not sure. I do like Cathe a lot, Mindy Mylrea for really athletic w/o's and Gin Miller Intense Moves. If you like complex choreo a few names come to mind (and I can't do them). Patrick Goudeau, Seasun Zieger and Rob Glick (tons more). I would have to think about a fav though. |

| Gilad's step aerobics is good. It's definitly athletic, not dancy at all. Christi Taylor is really good for dancy step. |

| Still steppin'. Glad I invested in it. I've moved up to Gin Miller's Simply Step (60 min.) & Cathe Friedrich's Low-Max (68 min.). After 3 months, I still can't do the Cathe video without messing up, but that gives me a goal to work on over winter. Thanks to all who chimed in with other names. I look forward to adding them to my growing library of step DVDs. |

| OK, another step question. I bought a larger step bench. It's longer & is 8 inches tall. I found that I had to go back to my beginner step DVDs because I couldn't handle the intensity of the taller, longer step. I've cut back from 50-60 min. of intermediate/advanced stepping on a 6 inch bench to 20 to 30 minutes of beginner stepping with the larger bench. Is this normal? Did anybody else find bumping up 2 inches to be a LOT more work? Thanks in advance! |
