Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 1995

This was the second Cathe Friedrich video I bought (the wedding tape was the first), and I loved it right away. Now that I have her complete collection, I have to say that it's taken a backseat to StepMax and PowerMax, but I still love it. It is shorter than the usual Cathe tape; I do it on Sunday mornings when I want to take it a little easier, or on a day when I want a good workout but don't have a lot of extra time.

The first section is relatively basic, but still fun and definitely more complex than your average step tape. Most of the moves are done facing the front, although she does a few hop turns and box steps. The second section is more fun; it's a short section consisting of a long combo (with power straddles and a particularly fun "heel-toe, diagonal turn over, jumping jack" series). Seriously intense ab section at the end.

Overall, this workout is fun, dancy and enjoyable.
