Sharon Twombly's Athletic Step Jam |
    Really like it, gets better and better! |
| I feel bad that some people did not get it. You've got to give this workout a chance. It was hard for me at first, but the CD has so many workout combos, I was able to break it apart into shorter combos and really enjoy the moves. Then it's versatile when you don't have much time either. I love the short ball segment and the abs, you feel them the next day. When you finally can do all the combos together it was a fun, sweaty workout! - posted by Andrea405 on 10/6/2011 |

    Returned this one |
| I love to step, but this one didn't do it for me. It was too "dancy" and I got frustrated trying to learn the moves when so many of them had my back to the TV so I couldn't see how to do the moves. I also got frustrated with the lack of advance cuing going into the moves, so I found myself just standing there trying to figure out what it was I was supposed to do. Went back for an exchange the day I got it. - posted by Terri on 8/24/2011 |

    Good Solid Workout |
| Great workout--complicated without being hard. That is, the steps are tricky enough to be interesting, but not SO tricky you end up standing and watching because you just can't get them. I also liked that the combos were long, so you could really get into them before switching to something different. Also the overall video was long, which makes for a good challenging workout. I'll be looking for more of Sharon's videos! - posted by Judi on 5/9/2009 |

    Sharon is Awesome |
| I just recently bought this one and now own all of Sharon's DVDs. Just like another reviewer, originally it took me a little while to get used her style being so tuned into Cathe, but Sharon is now my favorite if I want a tough workout along with great music. She sure knows her music. That's hard to find and I love it. This workout, just like her others is just excellent!!! - posted by dusty on 11/15/2008 |

    This was fun |
| I have tried one other of Sharon's video's and I liked this one better. She has some unique moves that take a little while to learn and she does more non-step elements than many other videos but she works them into the routines well. I doing mainly Cathe videos and I liked this one as comparable to get my heart rate up. - posted by Angela on 11/5/2008 |

    you'll be back! |
| i hesitated to buy this one because Sharon is not my favorite instructor, but its getting harder and harder to find new advanced step dvds, so i took a risk and bought this one. i am really happy with it. i keep going back to this again and again. the music is great, and the routine is well thought out and professional. i recommend this one to cathe fans. i really think alot of thought went into building this dvd, it is not too high impact, but it is effective cardio-wise. - posted by darlene on 9/17/2008 |

    Just Not My Thing |
| I hate to submit a negative review after so many positive ones, but this DVD did not do it for me. I already own Sharon's All Body Attack which is excellent, but this workout just was too dancy and complicated. I was able to break a sweat towards the middle of the workout, but it did not have the intensity of All Body Attack. I was too frustrated to try the stability ball workout, so I can't really comment on that segment,however. - posted by Kathy G. on 8/30/2008 |

    Very Solid Workout |
| I am mostly a Cathe fan, but I must say, Sharon might be tougher (at least in terms of cardio)! The first experience I had with her style was "All Body Attack." It took me awhile to get used to her moves and rhythm (being so used to Cathe). But, it is a very good workout. So, I didn't hesitate to buy Athletic Step Jam (espcially with all the great reviews). I have not been disappointed. I did the ball workout for the first time yesterday and thought "this is a waste of time." But, I'll tell ya, my aducters are SCREAMING today! The cardio moves are a bit tricky at first. I am choreographically challenged, so I was all over the map my first time through Step Jam, but the second time, I almost nailed it. Happy Workout! - posted by Kristen on 6/26/2008 |

    Excellent! |
| I absolutely love Sharon and all of her workouts so far! This was (as usual) fun and very tough, definitely not boring and kept my heartrate way up! Her cueing is great, she has very creative moves but not super fancy choreography so it's easy to pick up. I can't quite keep up with her even though I'd say I'm fairly advanced, but I think it's just because she is in just such phenomenal shape! I look forward to many, many more videos from Sharon! - posted by Amanda on 6/16/2008 |

    Great workout! |
| I liked this workout a lot! It was my first Sharon DVD, and her cueing was excellent. I absolutely loved the music. The moves were innovative and creative but not too difficult. I had most of the moves on my first run through. Some of the moves required a bit more space than I have but I was able to modify. Fantastic workout! - posted by Marianne on 6/10/2008 |
