I'd done some Firm "step", like the moves in Volume 6, but I feel like my first real step video was Gin Miller's Step Reebok the Video. It was a revelation to me that an instructor would properly cue a move, and add an arm gesture for traveling moves, instead of blurting out something insufficiently descriptive, leaving me half a beat behind and scrambling to catch up.
I was soooo proud when I mastered that video, and still pull it out occasionally. It's good when I've been slacking off and need a fun, easy to follow cardio workout that leaves me sweaty.

For me it was Buns of Steel Step 2000 with Tamilee Webb that came with the purple step. I bought this in 1994 and the workout and the step have stayed with me ever since. I still do the workout here and there. I still use the step too, it comes in handy when I want a shorter step instead of using the club step.
I also tried Kathy Smith's Great Buns and Thighs not long after that, good workout but unloaded it after a while, her Power Step workout is my favorite, without the power of course. |

Love hearing about all these step stories! Brings back great memories. I started taking step classes at the gym and before we could take them we had to take instruction classes to learn the steps. I am really glad they required the training classes because it gave me a solid base and I never feared learning harder choreography in vhs workouts.
I think my first at home step workouts were what I taped on TV from Charlene Prickett’s show. My husband built me a step out of wood (which was a recommendation Charlene made on her show - she even had a homemade step on the show with the measurements painted on it). I used that step for a LONG time and then finally bought the green step with the pink and grey risers. I believe my first purchase of a step workout was probably a Charlene Prickett workout and I likely got Gin Miller’s first Step Reebok workout shortly afterwards. Linda Was it you that used to have your daughter strapped to you in a harness when you did step at the gym? Such a cute, cute story! Kim |
