Step Tape Recommendation

[hines]

Cathe,
I would like your recommendation. I do not do any step aerobics and am looking for some tapes to get me started. I am afraid that if I "guess wrong" and buy a tape that's too advanced, I won't be able to get the choreography down.

Currently, I use MIS or PS tapes 3 times a week, and do cardio (at a health club on various machines) another 3 days a week. I'm not finding that my current cardio workouts are very challenging. It's too easy to let the machines do all the work! So that's why I'd like to start stepping.

Your suggestions? Thanks much!

Recommendation

If more basic choreography is what you are looking for, then I would have to say the most basic, yet still intense, step aerobic tape that I have is the wedding tape. This video has two workouts in one. There is a 45 minute step aerobic workout and also a 45 minute light weight toning workout(which uses 3 through 8 pound hand weights). I think you may find that the toning portion is a bit too easy for you since you are already using MIS and the PS SERIES.

I really think the step portion is perfect for you since I do much more repeating of the movements then in the other tapes. I also stay with pretty basic movements.

I would like to be fair and point out one possible draw back to this tape. While it is a very effective workout, regardless if you are getting married or not, the overall mood of the tape is directed towards the bride-to-be. This could be a bit disinteresting to you. If you are the type of person who tunes this stuff out, you'll be fine getting the tape.

Good luck with your decision.
