My main thought while watching the clip was that it looked "low energy."
It looks like Cathe put a lot of thought and creativity into coming up with new steps and combinations, but her voice just doesn't sound enthusiastic. Very different vibe from her step workouts in the early days! |

Her last few sets were easier than her previous DVDs were. I tried them once and they have not been opened since. I am guessing her marketing is for her current DVDs to be easy-intermediate and the online workouts to be more advance. I have not done any of her online workouts, but comments are generally expressing they are advance.
I am glad this new set will be easier to make more advance by increasing the step height.

carolyn jane, I think you summarized what I was thinking too--low energy. I don't use as high a step as I used to (10"-12") and I shouldn't have to do that to get an intense step workout. I may try this on a bosu since the balance challenge layers on some intensity without having to mess up my knees. As an aside, even in my younger days I see now it wasn't a good idea to use a step that high--my knees would bug me periodically and now they don't bother me unless I do too much step or use anything higher than 6 to 8 inches max.
All this said, I'm going to give it a fair chance. It's tough for me to really gauge a workout from a clip, I have to actually do it. Cathe rarely disappoints me. Interestingly enough, the IMAX clip looks to be higher impact than I thought it would be. Pam, you might want to try some of the premixes on her more recent sets. They really did up the intensity for me. |
