Time graph for Gin Miller's Everybody Steps
By the inventor of step aerobics, it’s the perfect introduction to step workouts. You get a solid fat-burner as you learn all the step basics. If you’ve ever wanted to try step — at home or at the club — this is the program for you. An IDEA Instructor of the Year with 12 years of step experience, Gin knows what might be frustrating and how to make it understandable (“a tap is often used to change the lead leg”). The video has six distinct segments; you can advance at your own pace and stop when you want. You’ll begin with the simplest steps and the easiest patterns. By the end, you’ll have naturally progressed into classic step-aerobic combos (e.g. straddles, turns, transitions). ©2004. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Gin Miller's Everybody Steps

Excellent cues and easy to follow!
I absolutely love this dvd and recommend it to everyone. The cues are excellent, the steps are easy to follow and highly effective! If you're a Leslie Sansone fan that enjoys how well she cues and how her steps are easy to follow, then you will love this. Similar in that sense, but less chatty. It's terrific! - posted by dmm on 8/5/2008
Even I can keep up ....... at age 58!
Great instruction. Perfect cueing. Excellent warm up and cool down. I never feel as though Gin forgot that I'm out there. She makes step so very possible for anyone. I agree that this is the perfect introduction to step. And because the workouts are at a moderate pace, I think this is also a perfect post-introduction DVD. Thanks, Gin. - posted by Catherine on 7/30/2008

I love Gin. I started excercising in February of 2008 when I quit smoking, and this video is awesome. I was able to do the entire workout from begining to end without a problem. I love Gin's humor, keeps me smiling throughout the video. Love you Gin. Keep up the GREAT work! - posted by Patty on 7/19/2008
Now even a klutz can step!
What a great instructor!! I am new to step and a born klutz, but even I have learned to step. If you want to step, buy this video!! Gin Miller instructs in easy steps, and makes it fun. I like the way she explains things a class instructor might say or do. I really feel like I know what I am doing now, and can move on to more advanced videos. - posted by Pat on 10/29/2007
Great Video
I was new to step before I bought this video and was greatful that she spent time teaching you each step before trying to add more. She shows you how to do everything before adding more new steps and makes it interesting to watch as well. - posted by Laurea on 8/21/2007
Watch your thighs get small
I'm just starting stepping after years of in-home walking tape. This one is great and challenging at the same time. Gin helps you to understand the movements, does not chatter alot and most of all I really am happy after I finish this work. My thigs are tingling, the sweat is pouring and I feel refreshed. BUY THIS!!!! - posted by Melinda on 6/5/2007
Sweet, Uncomplicated and Fat Burning to the Point
I agree with Rainey; this is an excellent video for the beginner. Gin Miller is superb in setting the mood and cuing the steps. She is pleasant, funny and when she moves you into the next transition it's nonintimidating; you await the next building sequence or level with enthusiasm! This is a first-rate warm up video for the intermediate-advance stepper, and also an excellent starter video to prepare one for Gin's more challenging videos ("The Video," "Power," etc.) that is if you gravitate toward her enchanting personality; and who wouldn't I've been using Gin's videos since I discovered her back in the 1990s, and she still packs a punch whether it be step aerobics or strength training. The beginner will finish this video with a sense of accomplishment, and not a sense of failure (or mind boggling fatigue). Most step aerobic videos, of late, are extremely challenging and competitive...let's face it, most of us are novice exercisers, not athletes competing for the gold! Therefore, basic instruction and form and technique is far better than "my step routine is more difficult than your step routine." Now I'm rambling. At any rate, this is definately a good starter video, and rates 5 stars! Annice May 24, 2007. - posted by Annice on 5/25/2007
Great For Beginners
This video is perfect if your just learning to do step. I already knew all the moves she did on this video so when she would slow down to teach the move I would keep going at regular pace. This video was fun and it kept me in my fat burning zone the whole time (except wu and cd). - posted by Rainey on 5/10/2007

What a great relief
I purchased this DVD in hopes of learning how to step. I highly recommend this video to all new steppers. Gin is great at explaining each step to you. This is an excellent video and it prepares you for more advanced ones. - posted by M. Simpson on 3/3/2007
This is a MUST for brand new steppers!
I adore this workout! Thank you, thank you, thank you Gin for FINALLY breaking this all down for us and actually teaching us how to step. For people like me that didn't learn in the 80's, this is the ONLY workout available that is really for brand new steppers. If you do not know anything about step, start here. You will actually get a workout (instead of just staring at the screen in confusion, frustration and disappointment!) and learn the basic moves. After a few months you can move on to the other so-called beginner workouts which are actually just easier step routines that don't TEACH you step. I adore Gin's personality. She is not in the least bit condescending. She is very friendly and encouraging. It's like working out with your best girlfriend. If you are mystified by step, this is the workout to get. I promise you won't be disappointed. If you already know the step moves very well, move on to other beginner/int routines or Gin's Simply Step workout or . Good luck!

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
