Can I just say that I don't miss the VHS workout.  Seriously, it takes so long to rewind these things. Anyway, Jane Fonda Step and Stretch Workout features a 45 minute step workout and a 15 minutes stretch workout. The 45 minute step workout is led by four different instructors this time.   Laurel, Linda, Michelle, and Jay each alternate teaching a combinations. The format is pretty much the same as the other Jane Fonda step workout I reviewed.  The routines started off slow and would gradually build.  Expect lots of repetition.The sound track is not as good in this workout as it was in her other two step workouts I did. Along with the instructors there are around 8 other cast members who show various levels and modifications of different moves. The stretch routine is led by Jane Fonda and it uses the step as well plus a towel.  It is a full body stretch that focuses on holding the stretch with each stretch being slow and methodical.  Most of the stretches are perform

Jane Fonda Step Aerobics and Abdominal Workout video contains a 45 minute step workout led by Laurel, Jeanne and Mark and a 10 minute abdominal workout led by Jane Fonda. The step aerobics workout is an easy to follow workout with simple combinations.  The workout starts off slow (half time) and gradually builds up as you proceed from combo to combo. Mark, Jeanne and Laurel take turns teaching a combination that it set to a particular tune. As you are doing the workout they will call your attention to particular side of the room. The people on the right were doing low impact moves (arms lower, not jumping) and the people on the left were doing high impact moves (more are moves, adding jumps to some of the combos). Love, love, love the soundtrack.  Each tune feature high energy music and - variety too - jazz, dance, country are some of the genres featured in this workout. The second workout is abdominals and it is all done on the floor. This segment uses the step as well and f

Jane Fonda Lower Body Solution Step workout is an older workout that came out on VHS. I don't think that Jane Fonda has ever release this workout on DVD.   Although, she has for some of her other workouts. There are two workouts on this tape. The first is a 35 minute step workout and the second is a 25 minute lower body workout led by Jane Fonda. I just did the step workout which was led by a trio of instructors: Mark, Janie, and Laurel.  Each of them takes turns teaching a segment. Along with the three instructors, there are around 6 other cast members. Half the cast members work on the step and the other half do not use a step.  Two of the cast members show low impact modifications. This step workout is really good old-fashioned steady state cardio. The combinations are fun, slightly repetitive but easy to do.  The choreography is more dance based than athletic based.  The instructors interact well together to make the workout fun and the music is great.    The tunes re

CherFitness A New Attitude: Step Class .  This is one of the very first video workouts that I ever own.  The video is some 24 years old and it features three workouts;  a 38 minute Step Class, a 10 minute Ab workout and a 32 minute Lower Body Workout. I only did the Step Class this time around. The Step Class features a rockin soundtrack. I have done a lot of video workouts over the last 24 years and I say that this still has one of the best soundtracks in a workout video. I am sure it helps that Cher is in the music business. So this work is a CherFitness workouts where Cher shares her workout routine.  Cher doesn't lead the class. The class is lead by Fitness Instructor Keli Roberts.  Keli has since been featured in many many workouts. Basic step class. If you don't like a lot of complex choreography this is the workout for you. If you do like complex moves, I would stay away from this workout. There are two warm ups. The first warm up is off the step, the second wa
