I have had good results with the step. If nothing else your legs get another type of muscle work from walking/jogging.
On the idea of "new" tapes.
Yes they do make NEW tapes from older tapes that focus on new ideas to cause muscle confusion. This is not a bad idea.
BUT they also do come out frequently with all new tapes.
This is what you are seeing on the infomercial
By the way I have never gotten a step from The Firm itself, but I did go out and by a rubbermaid took box that is 13-14 inches high, and I can put my tapes away in it.
Then it does double duty for me as something to stand on in the kitchen to get to the high shelves.
ANd HELLO AGAIN!
