This video starts out with a long warm-up, followed up
by a stretch and a beginning step routine. It takes a
while before you get into the higher impact section of
this tape. I was able to catch on to all the moves the
first time through this tape and I don't consider myself
to be one to catch on to complex moves right away. I
think the choreography is fairly easy to catch on to.
After the beginning section, Cathe moves into an
interval/upper body rotation. This is the section where I
really began to sweat. She starts with a short step
routine and follows with upper body work -- curls with
weights, push ups off bench, etc. I think there were
three intervals followed by a cool down. The step section
includes moves over the top and walking around the step
with leaps to get the heart rate up.
The only thing that I didn't like about this video was
the set. It looked like my senior prom, with
aluminum-foil stars and a drapped background. No doubt
this is an older video, with the participants wearing
lacy leggings. But if you can get past that, the workout
is enjoyable. I think it's a good video to try if you are
interested in trying Cathe for the first time.
This is the first Cathe tape that I have tried. So
far I really like her, but I want to do newer tapes
before I form a strong opinion. I don't think the moves
in this tape were very complex, but her cueing was
excellent.
