 Kai Anderson Go Step works for BeginnersSep 14, 2008
I thought that it would be for more beginners. It would taking it slow and then getting a little faster. It was med fast and hard to work with.
This was not for beginners it was for person that have done this before and just can start all over.
Kari Anderson is fine just not for the BEGINNER that has not worked out for a while.

 Love this Step Workout!Sep 02, 2008
Others have noted that this is not as "beginner" as some other videos, but I haven't used any other step videos. I am 5'0, 111 lbs and break a sweat in the first 10 minutes! My husband (upon my request) bought this video and a new step for me to tone after my third child. I love the first 30 minutes, which gives you the option to go straight to stretch or continue into the more difficult steps. I have done this several times & still can't get some of the steps down in the advanced section! The fun is to complete the challenge & I have enough confidence after the first "easier" 30 min. to keep trying the more challenging 15 minutes at the end. I would highly recommend this video to anyone trying to get a jump start to a healthier you!
 A Man's Perspective...Aug 18, 2008
I like this step video. I don't love it.
Kari Anderson is an EXTREMELY energetic person. She frequently adds additional spirited moves into her exercises just... ...because. This can have a polar effect on you - either you're in the mood to really push it a notch and match Kari's efforts, or you've had a rough day and feel like telling her to kiss your rump!
Kari's DVD is divided into a Warm-up session of five minutes, a general workout of 15 minutes, a secondary, more challenging work out of 15 minutes, and a 10-minute cooldown. The warm-up is effective and comfortable. The first workout is a little boring and repetitive. You basically do a few exercises over and over again, while throwing in some of Kari's energetic moves. The second workout is FAR more challenging - so much so I've only attempted it once so far! The cooldown is one of the most frustrating parts in my opinion - using a very ricky rock-step that always seems to trip me up at a time that I'm already pretty winded. But her stretches are very thorough and I definitely feel an improvement in the past two months of using this DVD.
Lastly, Kari is a playful person surrounded by other playful participants. I think some of her jokes and quips and replies from the other participants "cheese" down the video and seem to add a level of unprofessionalism. Some people however may enjoy the relaxed atmosphere this creates. I however prefer a more neutral environment - I don't like people trying to make me laugh when I'm covered in sweat.
I still give the video four stars because it's definitely effective. I started with a Cathe video that reacclimated me to STEP exercise, and by following other reviews for this video, used it as my next level. I can't really refer to this as a beginner's video, though she does still try to explain some of the basics. Unfortunately, she explains them after you're already doing them. You'll have to go through the DVD a few times before it becomes comfortable. I don't think that I'll rely on Kari very long before upgrading to yet another more challenging video - it just tends to irritate me more than I'd prefer.
I think women will enjoy this video because it will make them comfortable. Even I appreciate the fact that one of her backup "Steppers" is a man (though rather dorky looking) and I think some women would also be glad to see a rather heavyset woman exercising on the far right. It's a good contrast to videos employing nothing but scantily-clad models.
As a man, the only real perspective I can add is that, if Kari Anderson has a husband, he's a very, VERY lucky man. I just hope he has a good chiropracter...
Fun Advanced Beginner WorkoutJul 16, 2008
I would agree with the other reviewers that said this is not as beginner-oriented a workout as implied, primarily because of the lower leg flipping choreography in the second half. It has less complicated and easier to learn stepping routines than other videos of Kari Anderson's, but it's not as basic as say, many of Kathy Smith's or Denise Austin's basic routines. I consider myself intermediate as a stepper and I really like this video. It seems laid back compared to Kari's usual complicated routines, but I often think about issues on my mind while exercising to well-known favorites, and this is becoming one.

Great workout! Jun 03, 2008
I am an avid fan of step aerobics, so I may be a little bit biased--but I love this workout! I get a good sweat after 15 min but usually keep on going thanks to Kari's motivating and fun attitude! I don't have all the moves 'down' yet--it will take time and I figured that before purchasing--all new things take time!
