Rhythmic Step
Cathe FriedrichYear Released: 2001
Categories: Step Aerobics
This all-step tape is Cathe at her best. Step is where Cathe truly excels.
This tape harkens back to Step N Motion days except that now, Cathe is not
only a pro, but is a pro of pros. She even let out a "woo" without realizing
it, which I got a kick out of, because despite the fact that Cathe has become
so much more polished over the years, she still has the same enthusiasm. The
combinations are fresh and fun, with lots of variety. Rhythmic step is a
good title because the moves use the beats in all sorts of ways. I think
that the impact is pretty even throughout the workout, and it is possible to
modify many of the moves to keep the impact lower or to add power. There is
no instruction on this tape, so it is not a good tape for someone who is new
to step or to Cathe. The choreography is not super-complex, but it's
challenging enough for everyone from intermediate through advanced. The
best thing about this workout is that it is FUN! It combines athletics with
dance. I highly recommend this tape. My only negative criticism is the
music; it's generic, manufactured, disco-type music.
Cathe and the cast look like they are having a great time. They are all very inspiring to watch. In my opinion, this tape is a wonderful addition to any step-lover's collection.
