Agree, Cathe has very little for beginners. I have her Basic Step & Low Impact Step. I like both and would rate them low intermediate.

Most Cathe workouts are too intense for me, but I bought ICE at the beginning of the year and absolutely love it.
 I would consider myself an intermediate exerciser, but you could definitely modify (she has one) and go lighter on the weights. There are a gazillion premixes which translates to a ton of variety. I really enjoy the set. |

I've done alot of previewing over at Total Fitness within the last few days and I'm passing for sure. I think I'll stick with Tracie Long and her functional fitness moves. Plus she has a 4-limb feel to some of her moves, which is my favorite!
I think I can check Cathe off my list of "curiosity" tries.  Thank you everyone for the much appreciated input. It really helped.

I find that I am really enjoying her older easier workouts too, like High Step Circuit. I plan on busting out Basic Step here soon too. |

IME, Flex Train is one of Cathe's easiest workouts. (I've done it in my pj's.) It's fun.

I really like the ICE series - I think it's one of the most approachable Cathe offerings in a long time.
I've always modified my Cathe workouts in one way or another, due to foot issues and just not being able to do some of the stuff she does. Hey, even in the original IMAX Hope modified those stinking power scissors on camera because she ran out of steam, and Cathe pointed it out in a good way. So if Hope can do it, so can I. Like others, I'm down to the Cathe workouts I really like that have good (to me) music and no dread. There's a lot out there, and you certainly don't have to do a Cathe workout, but she's worth looking into if you can borrow or even do a month of Cathe on Demand.
