BAD... REAL BAD, Jun 17 2004
This review is from: Absolute Body Power: Intermediate Step Workout (2005) (DVD)
What is this?!?! I couldn't even finish this horrible DVD. The camera sometimes focuses on people's faces and you can't see what to do with your feet. Although, all he really had you doing was stepping up and down on the step. He doesn't know how to put together a fitness routine and the other people in the video don't seem to know what to do either. I liked the instructor's energy, but I wanted a workout DVD... not this junk. Don't buy!

Absolutely Horrible!!!, Nov 13 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Absolute Body Power: Intermediate Step Workout (2005) (DVD)
I have never written a review for a book or a DVD before, but I feel compelled to do so now. This is absolutely the worst DVD I have ever purchased! I actually thought it was a joke at first. After reviewing the first 15 minutes, I actually took it out of the DVD player and resisted the urge to throw it in the garbage. The instructor, Alan Harris, is rhythmically-challenged and unbearably obnoxious (if you can believe it, he comes right up to the camera and yells). He was off beat so many times I stopped counting. The choreography is boring and uninspiring. The production quality is laughable and clearly the work of amateurs. I just tried calling the production company, M2K, to complain. Now that I've opened the DVD I can't return it, so I'm going to let everyone know how horrible this DVD is.

Premium price, budget workout, Nov 13 2003
This review is from: Absolute Body Power: Intermediate Step Workout (2005) (DVD)
The GOOD points: This dvd is NOT region encoded so will play on any player (I confirmed this with M2-K). It has a 14 min 'how to step' section then a 40 min workout. The workout does make you sweat so it is effective but... The BAD points: The dvd is not programmable ie. it is a block 40 min workout, you can't skip/repeat sections. The camera work/angles are very amateurish, too many people in the room, participants use the same arm movements thru entire workout (although Alan does say to invent your own) and Alan is annoying in the way he constantly stops leading the class and runs around the room. For the price I expected a professional workout and was disappointed - it is a budget production and workout at best.
