Rhythmic Step

I wish to add my own impressions of Rhythmic Step to those already on the review page. This is my favorite workout. My impressions agree with Abbe G.'s, except that I did not notice any fault with the music.

This is perhaps because the only other step tape I had when I got this was Interval Max. Obviously I had not yet been "spoiled" by the great music on Cathe's other step tapes!

The "awkward" feeling moves, I feel, are in there on purpose to promote functional fitness and the ability to adapt to terrain on hikes and just maneuvering around on irregular surfaces! I have experienced an increased ability to walk on bumpy ground since doing this video. The moves become very comfortable with practice.

One important quality of this video is its steady, medium-high intensity. Many of Cathe's cardio videos are more intense than this one, but the intensity of this one enables it to be done as often as you want, not having to skip days in between.

It is complex and very satisfying to master. I feel like I'm with friends while I'm doing it. The background exercisers have natural facial expressions. It fits right into my one-hour slot in the morning.

I hope my review adds something to the info that is already out there. This is still my favorite tape out of the 35 or 40 that I have!
