Amy Bento's Advanced Step Challenge |
 Love it! |
| I have been working out with Amy for years she is a great instructor. This is a perfect step workout for those days when you just don't have a lot of time you will definitely sweat your butt off in 40 mins! Go Amy! - posted by Heather on 4/11/2013 |

 Butt kicker! |
| Amy Bento's advanced step workout will definitely make you sweat! It is a great workout and the bonus "blast" is an excellent extra challenge. However it takes a bit to learn the moves and get the routine down. I would not recommend this for someone who is not familiar with step aerobic moves. Trying to figure it out may be to frustrating and he or she may not find it worth the effort. If do like aerobic work outs, step particularly, and are looking for a new challenge Advanced Step Challenge is great! - posted by Jennifer on 12/29/2011 |

| Twisted Ankle on those Crazy Shuffles |
| I've been doing step aerobics for nearly 15 years, and this is the most difficult program I've ever done. She spends very little time teaching the combos, and I've fallen twice doing the crazy shuffle on the first combo. The second time I twisted my ankle. I'm going to keep trying but maybe take it down a notch. It's not for the beginner, that's for sure, and my heart rate gets up there and fast. Also, the power segment at the end is not as difficult but also gets your heart rate up there. - posted by Beth on 10/3/2011 |

| MY FIRST AMY STEP.....WON'T BE MY LAST |
| Other than several 10 Minute Solution dvd, this is my first Amy step w/o. I've done several Cathe step w/o, so I'm familiar with complicated choreography & routines. Even so, I watched Amy's tutorial & previewed ASC a couple of times....which I don't feel is a negative thing. New instructor, new phrasing, new everything. There isn't any choreography that can not be mastered if you put the time into learning it. I find that the more complicated it is, the more I like it (once I learn it). Amy is motivating, funny and encouraging during the w/o and puts each routine together a piece at a time (however some of the pieces are tricky on the first pass) and builds from there. Several moves were new to me (crazy shuffle, about face, etc...) but the more I do ASC, the better I become. The Power Up is a 5-minute heart pumper/lung thumper....a quick, high impact sweat fest. I wish her stretch segment was longer (many instructor skimp on stretching which I feel is a big mistake) which is why 4 stars. All in all, I'll be getting more Amy step & cardio w/o - posted by SMT on 5/14/2010 |

| Time flies! |
| I love this workout! It's great when you want a calorie-burning step workout in a shorter amount of time. I'm an advanced stepper and like a challenge, but I don't enjoy being frustrated by overly-complex choreography. Amy's preview moves are very helpful, and I was able to get all the moves down by the second attempt. It doesn't repeat itself over and over which is why it will have good staying power. My heart rate is up the whole time, and the workout goes by so quickly, it's over before you know it. I highly recommend this along with Amy's other step workouts. The choreography takes a couple times to get down but is so worth it in the end. - posted by Carrie on 3/19/2010 |

| Way too difficult to follow! |
| I gave this 3 stars because I have a few of Amy´s videos (Kickbox, Slow-mo, All pump extreme) and I love them. But.....this DVD drove me mad! I have watched it again and again and have tried to follow it, but its just too complex. I have plenty of Cathe & Kelly C.M. step dvds and they are in no way easy, but they are a piece of cake compared to this. I want to work hard, I just think this is no need for some ´fancy´ footwork :-( - posted by Mandy on 2/18/2010 |

| Great Fast Workout |
| This video gets you sweating. It does take a little bit to learn; however, it's worth the effort. This workout is short and intense and I love how I can do a chapter at a time (it actually returns to the chapter menu when each selected chapter has completed) which allows me to be able to get a great workout in even when I'm short on time. I usually am able to sneak a longer workout in because each chapter is short enough. - posted by Melissa on 1/10/2010 |

| Very Difficult! |
| I have been doing step aerobics for years and I thought that this workout was very complex and very poorly cued. I tried it several times and still can't seem to get the moves down...very frustrating. I think that the instructor could have done a better job walking you through the moves while you are doing them and giving you cues as to what comes next. - posted by Kaisha on 7/13/2009 |
