Step Fit is my favorite Cathe Friedrich video. This video particularly grabs me for several reasons, mostly though I really love doing the moves, and I really enjoy the music. I love the extra long warmup (it’s about twelve minutes long), which surprises me because I am normally bored by warmups. It’s a basic step combo, that I think is a lot of fun, followed by some really fun stretches. The first section is full of great moves and the time flies. The only part of this video I don’t like is the Power Scissor moves in the first section. I think of it as a leaping lunge, and I am worried that I could hurt my knees when I do it. It is a very powerful move though. The second section is even better. My favorite move is the flying angel, rock press, jumping on the board combo at the end of the second section. The third section is supposed to be a cooldown, but it is definitely more intense than most cool downs, but the latin style dance moves are a lot of fun. The cool down is extremely dancy. The extended stretch at the end is really effective and very relaxing. While this video is slightly less intense than "PowerMax", I still have that "wrung out" feeling after I do it.
