Product Description
An entire workout devoted to step aerobics, Amy takes you through her own creative chorography that has power in every step. This workout boasts a “preview” and “power ups” section. The preview section allows you to practice the more complicated moves, while the “power ups” bonus section is for those who just cant get enough. If you need more of a cardio threshold/anaerobic challenge, this section is for you. If you are not quite there yet, progress slowly into the power ups challenge before you know it, you will achieve the much deserved title of “expert” as you finally conquer this section. A 6 minute warm-up and 3 minute cool down are also provided (actual step aerobic routine is 31 mintues)… More >>

The choreography here is interesting, I’ll have to give her that. But I don’t care how “advanced” the DVD is, instructors should always *teach* the workout when first giving the moves. This instructor gives no instruction, except for the “preview” section. The preview section only covered four of the dozens of moves in this workout, and it didn’t cover them in the context of the other moves surrounding them. Way too hard to learn. Yeah, once I learn the moves I will enjoy not having the steps delineated slowly every time, but still, this workout will lose most of the people who try it.

It is what the title says, Advanced Step. I have several CD’s and this one I can’t get all the way through without getting frustrated with the complexity of step. I just want a good workout.

This is by far the absolute worst step workout I have ever tried! I am not a novice so it is not that I did not have the stamina or athletic prowess necessary to keep up, in fact I have been doing step aerobics for almost 15 years and I am a certified group fitness instructor who regularly incorporates step routines into classes. Amy Bento’s advanced step is terrible – her cueing is done either as or after she has already completed the move and she repeatedly uses the same terms for different moves. This workout is confusing, overly complicated and probably dangerous for most casual exercisers. If you are looking for advanced chorography research Cathe Friedrich or Rob Glick workouts.

THIS DVD IS WAY TO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVES. WHEN YOU BUY A EXERCISE VIDEO YOU ARE READY TO JUMP IN AND START. THIS WOULD TAKE A MONTHS WORTH OF LESSONS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS. ONCE YOU FIGURE IT OUT, THEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH HER LOUD VOICE YELLING AT YOU. I AM NOT IMPRESS AND WISH I COULD SEND IT BACK.
