High Step Circuit

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 2004

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


I purchased all of the High Step DVDs. This is the one I use the most. It is not my favorite, just the one I use the most. Why do I use it the most? The workout is short, covers all muscle groups, gets cardio in and does not require me pulling out lots of equipment. I use my high step, some tubing, and a couple of pairs of dumbbells (You will probably want to use heavier ones than Cathe is using.)
The workout consists of 6 cycles-- cardio, lower body, compound exercise with weights, upper body using the tubing, and finally a core exercise.
Even though you switch routines a lot, it doesn't seem to go by particularly fast. Nothing is especially fun. The cardio routines are very simple-- as one might expect using such a small step. The music is kind of soft-- not that motivating. Cathe is rather chatty, though.
OK, so I don't sound incredibly positive. Still, I would recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a short but comprehensive workout. For something more fun, I would recommend body Fusion.
The stability ball abs are OK. Kind of similar to those on Kick, Punch, and Crunch, but easier.
