I am an instructor in Germany, always looking for new ideas to use during my intermediate to advanced step classes. I was very happy to come across Philip Gray Step and Workout Videos last year. In Philip's new Video / DVD Step Temptation and Hi-Low Revelation you will be guided step by step to personal success. In the Step section Philip presents a fun workout which starts with a great warm-up followed by a total body before-the-workout stretch. Then he will put three wonderful, well balanced, fun, and tap-free combos which he teaches extremely well. Philip's cueing and break down skills are excellent.

The step portion features intervals of dancy / interesting patterns alternated with simpler / faster segments. That's followed by a uniquely "choreographed" body sculpting series. It's a complementary, and unusually smooth flowing, workout structure. The complex step intervals range from mambos and knee repeaters to shuffles and pivots with wide-ranging directional changes (while the "surge" intervals emphasize undiluted speed and intensity). The toning section is definitely different - it's taught add-on style with each routine flowing from the previous (eg eight reps of one set is combined with eight reps of another; then just four reps of that sequence is repeated while you add a new eight rep set, etc.). Requires 2 to 10 lb. dumbbells.
