There is one thing about this video that is different from all Cathe's other ones. You step with her for a solid 26 minutes without pulse checks ect. That is one thing I really like about this video. In her other ones. You step for 12-14 minutes and get all sweaty with them and then the camera stops and then the next thing you know they aren't sweaty anymore in the next step sections( usually 2 or 3 step sections altogether). I like the fact in STep Heat that you are stepping and sweating away with them like a real step class. Then after the 26min, you do a pulse check and are back to some more complex tricky stepping for 10min. Of course they aren't sweaty anymore after the pulse check but it was fun stepping for a longer period of time at the beginning without a break.

There are so many fun step moves. I love the hop turns and then with your back facing away from the TV your do knee up's with a hop . Then you hop turn back to the front. My favorite move in the second step segment is the horshoe move into a straddle and then you hop up on the bench twice. There is also a fun move where you walk the plank type move and then do some alternating lunges.

The cool down is fun too using the step. Then there is a tough ab section ( 7min) that is sure to work for you. After this is 2 min of stretches on the floor.

I love this tape! It is shorter than her other ones but it's nice because then you can do some other toning tape with it on the same day.

Cathe makes this workout fun by giving excellent cueing and fun upbeat music. She constantly challenges you with a new step combination to keep you from being bored.
