Christi Taylor: Totally Cool Step 2

I've been waiting for a new Christi DVD and this one doesn't disappoint . Fantastic cueing, non-intrusive music, great production quality. The BEST part of the DVD is the choreography! This is the most creative and innovative step DVD I own --and I own over 100 fitness DVD's 25 being step.(I teach step in a local club and Christie is my favorite DVD instructor. )Of course the DVD follows a recommended warm-up and cool-down. I appreciate the time Christie takes to make sure we have muscular balance ....I have a few that I can't do because they teach fitness like dance class--working the right side over and over to exhaustion. Anyway, if you are an intermediate to advanced stepper, you WILL want this in your collection...the routine is a blast! Off beat rhythms, turns, double-kicks--it's all in there and lots more .

Just tried this work out for the first time this morning. Although I have been stepping for 30 years, this is an incredibly difficult routine. Christi has included a breakdown of the moves, which will help a lot, however, it will take several attempts to get the steps down before I will be able to do it. That being said, I was looking for a work out that isn't too simple and ends up being boring...don't have that worry here! I have one suggestion. When you have 4 supporting steppers, two following Christi and 2 modifying, it would be nice to have one of the front girls modifying as having them both on the back row makes it difficult to see what they are doing. Other than that, I would probably purchase again.

I have other Christi Taylor workouts and I like her style and cuing very much. She uses complicated steps that keep my mind so occupied that I don't have time to think about how much I'm sweating. With that said, this workout has especially challenging footwork! I've had the DVD for about 6 weeks, and while I don't do the same workout every day, I've been doing this workout about 2x/week and I still don't have all the steps down. I don't mind that challenge, but you should be aware that this particular workout- even with her great cuing- is confusing!

as a former step instructor I would not recommend this to anyone unless they really like spins turns and more turns...Christi is a great instructor and she has the modifiers( hint to Christi; maybe put a modifier in the front so they can be seen) Every instructor has their own style of step but I find that this has way to many turns over, off and beyond the step and personally I see no reason for them except she likes to do them...very easy to hurt yourself if you are not a very advanced stepper....and even if your advanced be careful I have seen many students hurt them selves over the years doing moves that are complicated and fast and that turn you away from the instructor while doing them........I was really not happy with this DVD and I have done it several times.

I love all things Christi but this one isn't one of my favorites. It is both mentally and physically challenging, but not one of the more fun ones. The music is upbeat and I love the MoveMaster.

I have three of her workout dad's and I love them all. She is an excellent instructor.....cueing, explanation of moves, and overall personality. Her combinations are fun and sit ups are perfect....no irritating planks!

Yet another great routine. I never get tired of doing her step routines. They are fun with different degrees of challenges. I always know I have worked hard when finished.

The usual great Christi Taylor exercise DVD. Am sorry she is not making as many DVD's as she used to. I don't get bored with her DVD's even though I have all of them.

As always Christi delivers a good varied step routine that won't have you counting down the minutes until it is finished!

This is my second Christi Taylor DVD. It's a good workout and though I don't like it as much as Cool Step 1, it's still a worthwhile addition to my step library.I'm an advanced stepper and find the choreography is very challenging. But I like it that way as it exercises my brain and I don't get bored. My advice -- start off watching the ladies in the back and don't even try the advanced stepping till you've got the easier steps mastered.Here's why it didn't get a "5" from me: to my taste, the music isn't as good as in Cool Step 1. It's a bit short at 35 minutes and I think the cool down is too short. Try Cool Step 1 first and add this one if you like it.

Did not working looks like it is warped. I probably wouldn't purchase a used did again

日本語吹き替えがないのが残念ですが、音楽の選曲もよくリズミカルに楽しくできます。初めは動きに慣れたころに、次の動きに変わりペースが早いなと思いましたが、続けていくとだんだん慣れていき、これくらいがいろいろ変化があって逆に面白く感じられます。汗をかきまくったので、体脂肪を落としたりする有酸素運動には最適の作品です。ストレッチがこの作品の中では少ないので、各自が充分に行っていく必要があります。初めは数日間は筋肉痛でつらいですよ。

とても素敵な動きのＤＶＤです。しかし、動きの説明は一通り１，２、、３、と掛け声とともにやってみせてくれるだけで、一緒にやれるレベルになるには、相当こちら側の努力が必要だと思います。英語だし動きと同時に言われても、回転が入ったりするとＤＶＤが見られず、足が止まってしまいました。ヨガととピラティスに（別人のイントラさん）相当時間を取っているので、この時間をなくして、もっと丁寧に教えてほしかったなあ・・・
