"I bought this at Collage Video some time ago. I have all of Christies workouts. The reason I have them all? She is AMAZING. She is totally profesional and a joy to watch. She has great personality, and she knows her stuff. She is so quick on the step, I don't know how she calls out all the moves. She'll cues exceptionally well - she'll sing out the cues to the tune of the great music her dvds have. This one has We Will Rock You, Heard It Through The Grapevine and I Love Rock and Roll to name a few. She's quick and on the ball. The choreography is sometimes complex, but once you've done it a couple of times, you'll get the hang of it and wonder how on earth you are doing it. If you are still stuck, there are some exercisers in the back row, who do easier versions that makes following easier. There is also a bonus ab workout. Christie really is the very best instructor and fun to watch."
Totally Cool Step

"I doubt I will ever be able to do all the complex moves in Totally Cool Step by Chrisi Taylor. I have learned to concentrate on the 4 girls in the back, who are doing simplified moves, and I manage to get a good workout without tripping over the step. There is a section that teaches the moves if you want to learn to do the more complicated versions. I haven't had the time or felt the need to do that. There is a short section on abs and back that I use quite frequently after I finish the aerobic portions of other DVDs and videos. Christi's DVD is a lot of fun and provides a good workout. My main complaint is that the moves are too complicated for me."

"I love this workout. I consider myself to be a fairly experienced stepper and this was a challenge. It took me a couple of workouts to get all the steps, but it was worth it. This DVD provides a great workout."
Pretty good workout

"I am an advanced stepper, so I didn't have too much trouble with the moves. I found them fun and liked her choreography. The time does fly by and it is very "dancy" which is what I wanted. I have other DVD's that were MUCH more difficult to get the hang of.
Unfort. the workout isn't as hard as I wanted. I sweat- but was hoping for something more intense. I do have other DVD's for that though and will continue to use this DVD when I want to take it down a notch. I could also power-up more of her moves or modify.
Abs section wasn't bad- quick, but worth doing.
It would be nice if she had a better warm up- I wouldn't even call what she does a warm up.
I have only watched this DVD a few times and her singing the queues is KILLING ME. It's driving me nuts. Hopefully I can memorize her routine at some point and turn the volume off!
Overall I'd recommend this to an advanced stepper looking for fun/dancey choreography."
Christi is COOL

"As a former aerobics instructor I have high standards for home workouts. Christi Taylor is an exceptional instructor! Not only does she cue well facing the audience, but has a section where she teaches the moves with her back to the viewer. This is essential for me to learn moves that cross-over from front to back etc. Every good step teacher back in the day taught with their back toward the class. Other step DVD's do not even come close to this one. I love step with enough choreography to make me forget I'm working out. I really work up a sweat and have fun doing it. Thanks Christi . . . I'm ordering more DVD's."
