"Gay Gasper is one of my favorites. I workout to her other DVD, Cardio Step Express, at least a couple times a week.
This DVD is great and will definitely be in my rotation. She uses unique moves and combos and the time flies. Her queing is always perfect (unlike some of my other DVDs). The music is a BILLION times better than her first DVD (it's actual songs- hip hop type music).
Compared to her first DVD, I do find the workout a little easier which was disappointing. It's a great workout- but in comparing it to her other DVD, I just don't think it's as hard. That's why I did 4 stars instead of 5.
I do like that she does each combo a few times and then moves on- instead of adding a combo and then going through all of the combos from the top. It made the time go by a little faster doing it this way.
As with her other DVD I love that when she breaks down a combo she makes the count the same as the finished combo so that once you know what's coming you can just move forward. Makes for more enjoyable workout when you've seen the same DVD a million times.
Her cool down is much better- no more dance thing- it's a straight forward cool down with the step.
Gay Gasper remains my favorite Step instructor (at least on DVD) and I will continue to enjoy this new addition!"
Great overall cardio...

"This is a great step workout. I've bought Christi Taylor's and love them but had to go over her "move master" segments a few times before catching on. I'm intermediate to advanced and eventually caught on and enjoyed them. This one does have advanced moves but is less "dancey" than Christi's, it's easier to get the moves down. If you don't get it the first few times you can still move to the count and continue. My feeling is that it's a more athletic step routine, and I did enjoy the hiphop music. Music choices are important to me and these are motivational, you can't stop moving and the time flies by. Also like the add-ons, abs and stretch."
Good challanging workout! Good music!

"I found this workout to be somewhat challanging at first but after a couple of weeks I got the moves down. I love the music "Don't Cha" and "Must Be The Money" (I think those are the correct song titles??). I highly recommend this video for anyone who wants a good sweat."
Not what I expected

"I heard great things about Gay Gasper and chose this video as my first "at home" step video. Mistake!! I did not find her queing perfect - her feet were ahead of her commands most of the time!! My biggest complaint is that the DVD says that they give "multiple workout options" but if you choose something other than the longest workout the workout is just chopped up bits (of the long workout) that don't flow together. One combo will end with the screen fading away then you're into the next combo and offbeat from where you were a minute ago. Hard to explain but this contiues through the entire workout. You have to keep stopping to switch your lead after each combo. Drives me nuts!! Not a well done DVD."
Love it!

"This one gets 5 stars from me. While the intensity is more intermediate (although, if you're advanced, you know how to make it harder), the music makes up for it. It's absolutely awesome!! Everything from Will Smith to Pussycat Dolls and more. The atmosphere in this video is also very friendly and encouraging. If you're motivated by hit music and like stepping, this one is for you. When I start this workout I can't stop, it's addicting."
