Hi everyone,
I recently caved and bought Cathe's 4DS from advancedworkouts.com. It is enroute to Canada now.
I have never
not preordered a Cathe strength workout but passed on this series because something about it just did not grab me. Then that vidiot collector in me took over and I felt that my collection could not be without the strength work at least!
My background with Cathe:
I hated CTX and sold all of my VHS tapes except Leaner Legs and then picked up CTX Upper Body. (Aside: I really really wish Cathe would release these on DVD, especially Leaner Legs, without having to buy the enture CTX set again on DVD!)
The moves in the 4DS clips looked "same-old, same-old" and I dislike any of her cardio that is extremely high impact and any step workout beyond her beginner series!
I am choreo challenged and thus have sold almost every cardio workout I have ever purchased for one reson or another. I also hate circuits. These are all the ones I owned and sold, donated, etc.:
MIC - dread factor, hated the
but super high impact hi/lo
Cardio Kicks - too much space, too complex and too much hi/lo flavor (I do like KPC and Kick Max.)
Circuit Max - it is circuit!
Step Blast + Step, Jump & Pump DVD - too complex,
on Cathe hi/lo
Cardio & Weights + IMax2 DVD - IMax 2 too complex, C&W just blah.
The only cardio of Cathe's I enjoy is her kickbox DVDs, her Basic Step, Low Impact Step and Low Max (still trip up the choreo on this one but enjoy it). I also like any drill type athletic sections of her other DVDs.
I love all of her strength workouts and own every last one all the way back to MIS and PS.
I am reading so much dissapointment here in various threads about this workout set and am having buyers regret before I have even tried them.
My concerns after reading endlessly here:
The cardio on the step workouts is too complex which I just did not expect....harder to master than Rythmic Step? OMG! I would never even buy that one.
The workouts are dull, too short, nothing new.....
I am ordering STS as it looks amazing and also know I will preorder her entire boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts series.
Did I waste almost 50% of my STS preorer $$$$$ on a pretty uselss workout series?
Help me justify!
Conversely, I could return it unopened as AW has a 100% satisfaction return policy if there is no way this was worth the big bucks!
Thanks,
Deb
