Rhythmic Step

Cathe Friedrich
Year 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.
