Summary: 5 Stars

DIFFICULTY: I will admit at first I thought I was going to die and couldn't finish the workout. But as she says, "Stick with this workout and I promise you'll be amazed at how you feel and how your body looks." By her non-pushy way of telling us, "If you need a break, marching in place is fine or take a sip of water." By doing these things I am able to recover and get right back with her shortly. Then I just rewind the tape.

ANGLE: Stephanie doesn't turn straight to the camera as so many instructors to my chagrin do, so you can be on the same foot/side of the body as her by facing forward to the tv as she faces sideways. Also she states whether to be facing on my left or right side so it helps me keep up with her.

INSTRUCTION: She has excellent form and is a laid-back but powerful, dynamic instructor. She begins slowly and has beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. I am now advanced yet I still do the whole tape to keep good form and warm up properly for the harder levels. Her warm-ups and cool-downs are fabulous and she knows how to get down to business but explains the moves clearly. It is a lot like interval training with fast and slow moves to recover, always starting slow. Stephanie is an amazing woman who admits she's a mom with two kids and like most people, doesn't have "hours to spend exercising." She created this workout because it lends fast results.

RESULTS: I have worked out to the tape at least 15-20 times and I've continually improved in form and speed. It is always challenging and never boring. It makes my body feel great, puts me in a wonderful mood, helps me sleep, and enpowers me with confidence. I love the idea of learning skills of self defense while at the same time, burning calories. This is a non-contact workout yet, when I do it, I always have a target in mind such as a picture or object I choose in the room that is at or above my eye level so my kicks and punches are efficiently administered.

A WORD OF CAUTION: Do pay close attention to her instructions to avoid injury-- mainly on the jab, cross, roundhouse combination. You have to pivot the ankle supporting the kick or could hurt your knee. She tells and shows this. Also the hook is a punch that can get you very sore so go easy at first. The rest of the workout, besides the fact you will get sore most likely at first, is very safe.

FUN: This is a workout I truly enjoy and do over and over so it gets 5 stars! Try kickboxing, you'll feel terrific! Mrs. Steele recommends doing the workout two-three times a week. I rotate this with two completely different tapes but this is my favorite. Kick, punch and Soar! ^_^
