Karen Voight's Ultimate Step Circuit |
    Ultimate Step! |
| I have been a Karen Voight fan for years and have fully enjoyed the challenge of her new "old school" workout. I work out at my job site gym and since we have no aerobic instructor, Karen has led the way in getting me back into health and fitness. I am getting married in July and will be counting on this video to get me into my wedding dress. Love it! - posted by Lola on 2/7/2013 |

    Just did this one AGAIN this morning :) |
| I have this on VHS, but still, of all my tapes (and I have probably 30-40 of them, mostly on DVD), still go back to this one and it's always a great workout! I don't agree that there is ANYTHING wrong with the cuing. I am surprised at how much better Karen is at cuing than most instructors. This is a great workout without anything that makes me think I might have to really worry about my alignment or getting injured. Really just a go-to, hard, step circuit workout! It feels like it's done in no time and I always feel like I get a great workout! - posted by Kat on 9/7/2012 |

    Really like this workout BUT the cueing could be better.... |
| I have had this workout for a couple of weeks and I REALLY like it, BUT the one thing that gets me is the cueing. OMG cue a couple of steps ahead. I have other workouts that the instructor cues a couple of steps ahead. I know in this workout Karen would change steps or directions THEN tell you. BUT there are a few times she does tell you ahead of time why cant she do that all the time? I REALLY like this workout, I've just about gotten it down, but I dont do this one everyday,I have a rotation that I do. And she LOVES using the arms. I have another one of her workouts and she does the same thing in it. This one really gets my heart rate up and I sweat. Other than the cueing its great. I hate to complain BUT..... She seems really nice and sweet. But that's why the 4 stars took 1 off for the cueing. Other than that I like it. - posted by Mel.V on 6/9/2012 |

    Still one of the best |
| I had this workout on a vhs many yrs. ago and loved it then. Got rid of the vhs many yrs. ago and never replaced it until now. Still one of the best all around workouts I have that I never tire of. It has a little bit of everything in it which is what I like in a total body workout. Gets my heart rate up nicely with the step routine then breaks into 3-4 different weight pumping, muscle toning sets. One you will never get tired of doing. Karen as always puts out great choreography as well as cueing. Love this one.... - posted by liz on 4/25/2012 |

    Disappointing |
| In the past, I have been a big fan of Karen. Sound instruction, challenging choreography and well cued. This video is totally different than many others. It was not challenging and it was poorly cued. I returned it. - posted by Sara on 3/18/2012 |

    great for everyone |
| This workout covers all the bases. The step portions can be easily adjusted depending on whether you want high or low impact. I increasingly look for workouts that deliver high intensity with lower impact and this one fits the bill! - posted by Trish on 4/7/2011 |

    Great Workout |
| I bought this mainly for the step aerobics portion. Short and simple choreography, but a great workout. Really gets your heart rate up! - posted by Felicia on 2/9/2011 |

    Karen Voight's Ultimate Step Circuit |
| This is a fabulous video. Karen, as always, provides outstanding instruction; the moves are varied and interesting but not too complicated; the mix of aerobics and conditioning is just right. All in all, a great investment!! - posted by rebecca on 12/16/2010 |

    Slow Weights/Fast Step |
| This is a terrific circuit workout, but for a 5'2" woman using a 10" step, it could be dangerous due to the fast tempo of the music. I fell off the step while doing a tricky over-the-top-while-turning movement, which in itself is a challenge for me: I am not especially coordinated. I lowered my step and incorporated simpler movements in some areas of the program to compensate. The strength training is flawless. Karen works each upper body muscle with the correct amount of reps and sets. She cues with care and attention to proper form and does the reps slowly and mindfully. I like that she includes an exercise for the rotator cuff, as well as the calves (while doing a biceps curl), and throws in some prone low back and buttock exercises. This workout is complete and takes all of my concentration and strength. I feel fabulous when I'm done! I think it can be adjusted for any body and level via the amount of weight and step height used. If not for the too-fast step tempo, I'd give it five stars. - posted by Casey on 12/12/2010 |
