Time graph for Reebok: Step Circuit Challenge

Fast-paced one-minute intervals; Gin Miller alternates concise toning segments with vigorous aerobics. Constantly changing with lots of variety, there’s just no time to be bored. The aerobic segments include leaps, propulsions, power squats and straddle jumps (i.e. jumping from a straddle to the top of the bench). Solid toning sections feature classic floor and dumbbell/rubber tubing routines. For added motivation, there’s a live band playing super-energetic jazz/funk/African music. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells or an X-ertube. ©1993.

Reebok: Step Circuit Challenge
Great for the upper body, too!
This is the video I have been searching for years! Step with great upper body toning! I usually do step with Chriti Taylor but I will surely do this one at least twice a week, too. It is good even if you are advanced as I am! Even though it is an old one, buy it! - posted by Petra on 5/8/2008

Ditto, Still One of the Best
I've been exercising with Gin Miller for over 10 years now, and I find her tapes/DVD's stand the test of time. Her moves are always uncomplicated, yet effective. She always incorporates the ability to progress within the set workout. I still recommend her above all others. - posted by Mary Ann on 4/5/2008

One of the best
Like a previous poster, I had this one on VHS and literally wore the tape out! I have been doing this one for over 10 years and have always felt like I got a great workout every time. Definitely the best video ever put out by Reebok! STILL my favorite! - posted by Dee on 1/5/2008

A Keeper!
I've been doing this video for over 10 years and I still love it! This is a straight-forward step and toning interval workout that will always be fun to do. I normally prefer advanced step, but this is great for days when I don't want to think too hard! Reebok's best video ever. - posted by Ann Marie on 12/27/2007

An oldy but a goody!
I've had this one for yrs and it's a great workout. The moves are basic but when i want a no nonsense , effective workout this one is it! Easy to follow, motivating, A. - posted by Beverley on 10/13/2007

LOVE IT!!
I purchased this workout on video about 12 years ago and have used it so much, the tape wore out! I haven't been able to find it anywhere until you carried it in your catalog recently. No matter what level my fitness has been (beginner or more advanced exerciser), I can do this workout because of the great modifications Gin and her crew show you. The moves are basic, so they are easy to follow, but the video has so much energy and Gin's instruction is so encouraging and upbeat, it is never dull or boring. The way the workout is broken up into segments really makes it go by quickly. I can honestly say I really enjoy doing this workout--even after 12 years! - posted by Lisa on 8/5/2007

Good All Around Cardio/Toning
It was fun to see early Gin. You work from head to toe and enjoy doing it. The set is very attractive which is important to me. I do wish the DVD had been chaptered. There is no way to avoid the intro or to skip to the cooldown. - posted by Katie on 8/1/2007

Fast & Fantastic!
If you only have one half-hour to work your body head to toe, this workout is for you. Easy to learn choreography, excellent cuing and it works all of the major muscles in an amazingly short amount of time. I wish Reebok would release Gin's AeroStep workout on DVD before my VHS tape goes on the blink (it is also a favorite step workout). - posted by Kathy on 7/7/2006

A Keeper
I was so happy to see the older Reebok videos available. This is one of the first videos I purchased. I am and advanced stepper who is also an avid runner, tennis player and lifts weights regularly. This is not an intense all out step routine, but it is extremely well rounded fitness video!! If I do not have alot of time I always go back to this video. The toning moves are tried and true. They work!! If you step it up and really push yourself. Threre is no way this is not a great overall workout. A little of everything. The ab section is very good as well. Sometimes when I do just step, I feel I need to do a little more. This video gives you a little of everything. I will always do this video!! - posted by Td on 12/28/2005

Great to Start
I just returned to exercise a month ago and started this tape this week. It was definitely on target. While this tape would probably be boring for an advanced stepper (I would have definitely been bored years ago) it is great for a beginner or intermediate stepper. The moves aren't complicated and the circuit training keeps it interesting and challenging. Gives you a great workout. - posted by Kaysha on 6/28/2002

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Level

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

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

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

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

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.
