My favorites are:
-Seasun Zieger's Stepping Up - no blasts or power bursts, just super fun steady state choreography and AWESOME music (with the actual lyrics)! -Christi Taylor's Totally Cool Step 2 (a little on the short side and some TIFTing but the choreography is so fun I never seem to mind) -Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Dome Challenge. There are blasts in this and a BOSU segment, but it is well-chaptered, and I'm almost positive there's a premix without the blasts. The BOSU section is its own chapter and at the end so you could totally skip that. This is, for me, Amy's best/most fun hi/lo workout -Amy Bento's Advanced Step Challenge 2, 3, or 4. Just skip the Power Ups section (which is always at the end) for a fun, steady state step workout. I am guessing Advanced Step Challenge 5 is fun, too, but I've never done it. I didn't care for the original Advanced Step Challenge -Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Cardio Blast has a really fun 25 min step workout called "Athletic Step." There is also a floor interval "plyometrics" workout on this DVD -Seasun Zieger's Z-fit Super Step. This one got mixed reviews, and while the music isn't as good as "Stepping Up," and there is a section of one combo where she gets off the beat for just a bit, it is still fun and I always seem to click with Seasun, especially her newer offerings. I wish she'd make another step workout. I'd buy it in a heartbeat! -Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Train Like a Contender (TLC) has a short but very fun boxing workout on it. I just love it and time flies. No intervals in this one. Just one steady state boxing combo after the next

Great suggestions.
Anyone try Cathe's step tapes she released in the last batch? I didn't buy them because I had just purchased Xtrain. Are the as good as her classics? |

I like the music. She used the sound-a-like versions. I have neglected my other step workouts in favour of these because they are so enjoyable. Lisa

I have a dvd of Charlene Prickett's television show--it's all aerobic, non-impact, no step. I love it. I don't have it close to hand, but I believe there are at least nine (or more) different shows on it, and her choreography is never beyond my two left feet and my unblossomed left/right awareness.

Someone mentioned Jenny Ford, she has a LOT of steady state cardio, both step and on the floor, on her youtube channel. I enjoy her very much.

The steady state workouts that put me in a good mood:

This thread has inspired me, if I don't break down and buy Piyo I was thinking of a rotation where I alternated a 30 min barre3 workout combined with an SBF target (I love the way these to compliment each other - SBF zeros in on the muscles and barre3 provides a nice global workout) and a steady state cardio day combined w/ Classical Stretch or Yoga. I'm not a huge fan of Hiit, but i do it when it comes up in Jessica's rotations. Donna |
