This is Cathe's second video, dated 1991, the first follow-up to Step 'N Motion I. I really enjoy this video - it is very tough. I have all Cathe's videos and this is an excellent tough workout. She does a nice warm-up with the step, followed a some floor low impact, and very high impact floor aerobics, like running and jacks (real fun). Her step patterns are tough - lots of power, especially the two legged hop (jumping on step in straddle position with both feet). This video was the first to show this step, as far as I know. She follows with stepping with 3 lbs. dumbells working the arms and legs at the same time (similar to FIRM segments on Tough Aeorbic Mix). Following she does some arm work with 10 lbs. for biceps, tricep work, pushups, and 5 minutes of ab work (pretty good), followed by cool-down. The music is fantastic. This is a CIA produced video. I do this video if I am in a hurry and need a quick, tough hour to workout.
