Some steps are sold with fitness videos included. You'll also find that many of the total body shaping workouts give you the option of using hand-held weights or resistance tubing. This is a great way to combine your cardio and muscle training. Lots of people make exercise videos. Some are certified instructors and some are supermodels.
Some videos feature both.
The instructors I like are Gin Miller, Lynn Brick, Karen Voight, Kathy Smith and Kari Anderson. I've been fortunate to take some master classes with the Seattle-based Anderson. She's energetic, creative and lots of fun. If you've just got to have a supermodel, check out Kathy Ireland, whom I understand, is a certified fitness instructor.
