Reebok: Step Circuit Challenge

Gin Miller's Step Circuit Challenge

Reebok: Circuit Challenge
I've purchased Gin Miller in the past, but this video did not work for me. - posted by Carley on 9/18/2011
Great workout
This video gives a great workout. The changes keep you from being bored and moving. I always feel like I my whole body got a workout. Just have to ignore the 80's outfits! - posted by Lori on 9/5/2011
total keeper- great workout
I have owned this workout since it was released. Still one I keep going back to- it is just a great workout- gets the job down in cardio & arm toning- steps are easy to follow- a beginner can follow this workout- just need to know basic step moves- if there were 10 stars I would give it to this one. I really wish there were more step videos like this one- keeping the moves simple- I do like to do Cathe & Christy- though these step videos are alot more complicated- this one just does the job & without alot of concentration to get the move down- plus it is fun. - posted by donna on 6/24/2011
BACK TO BASICS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!
I tried this workout when it was first released and it has stood the test of time! It has changed my fitness goals and expectations by delivering the best of the best. Gin Miller's expert cueing is what works for me, along with great music featuring live drummers, to keep a beat central to the workout and deliver great motivation. This workout has something for everyone! - posted by Stephanie on 3/16/2011
Oldie but goodie
I love all the Step Reebok videos/dvd's. They are not complicated moves but you get a good workout. I alternate this one and the other Step Reebok workouts with Cathe videos when I don't feel like having to think too much (Cathe step workouts require lots of concentration and sometimes the steps are too complicated when I'm tired and just want a simple good workout). I have been doing the original Step Reebok and Advanced Step Reebok workouts since they came out and still enjoy doing them. No, the production is not always the best, but that doesn't bother me as long as the workout gets my heart rate up and I have fun. The old style outfits and hairdo's just give me a good giggle. - posted by Di on 9/27/2010
Sent This Back
I usually like Gin's choreography (even if many of her videos are older and some of the cinema effects are, at best, "cheesy"). I expected this to be a good circuit workout, changing from aerobic to toning in regular intervals. I knew it was basic choreography, and that's not what bothered me. what bothered me was that there was much to much time spent in instruction and not enough time actually doing the moves. This is especially harmful given the short length of each circuit. In the end, I found that I didn't actually get a workout at all. - posted by Trish on 8/12/2010
Excellent! Great variety & a great workout
I wore out my VHS version of this workout, so I was glad to see it in DVD. In true "circuit training" style, you will do cardio for a minute or so and then weights. With three parts, you can do one, two or all three workouts depending on your fitness level and/or how much time you have. Gin Miller is one of the best instructors since she cues well, builds up series of steps, and has someone doing a lower-intensity version. - posted by Dawn on 7/24/2010
Either or
It is an ok step tape, not the hardest, but she gives you options on how to make it harder. Can't say good or bad about it, so this won't help much. It is an older tape that has been around so some people must really like it. It is different than your normal Cathe tapes. Cathe's are still the best, but they can do some havoc on your knees and feet.. Give it a four cuz there really isn't anything wrong with it, not a five cuz it didn't make me say WOW I would do that tomorrow. - posted by Bon on 6/10/2010
Good workout - Poor reproduction
I had this video years ago on VHS and was glad to find it on DVD, but I must say that there are several glitches in the reproduction that are annoying. fortunately, none of Gin's workouts are ultra complicated, so you can keep going with the workout. it's just annoying that the quality is so poor, that's all. - posted by karissa on 6/10/2010

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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Step aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The step aerobics segments involve stepping up and down on a platform. The moves range from simple stepping to more choreographed exercises. These segments require a step bench platform. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
