But the strange thing is sometimes Cathe DOES show modifications. Like in the step workouts where she starts a move low impact and then moves it to high impact. I would say she just doesn't want to put the time and energy into showing modifications for all the moves, unless it's easy/obvious. It's like she just throws in a modification when it occurs to her, but otherwise, you're on your own if you want to modify.

I think the argument about "advanced" is silly, but that might just be Cathe fans saying that - I don't know if that is Cathe's opinion.
The part about uniformity though - that I get. I know I am in an extreme minority on this one, but modifiers in cardio routines can be distracting to me. Even in Christi Taylor workouts where she balances them on the screen and puts them in the back. With Amy Bento or Kelly Coffey-Meyer, it is even worse to me. I don't always look at the instructor, and when someone else in background is doing something different it confuses me. Even though as Sharon says, it's not Swan Lake, I do prefer the uniform look. I think Cathe is pretty anal/ocd about some things - out of every instructor I've tried, she is the most consistent about keeping things balanced on each side. So, I can see why she doesn't like the modifier look. I know why people don't agree with her, but to me it is a legitimate issue. I do know how to modify routines on my own, and I do it all the time. I don't care if I am doing things exactly as the instructor, but I do prefer to not see conflicting things on the screen. On strength workouts, I could care less - it is just with choreography.

Yet, it's OK to have Cedie shriek "Wooooooooo" like a banshee every five minutes in Boot Camp. No, that doesn't interrupt the flow....
