Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 1998

Categories: Step Aerobics


I've been doing this tape 1-3 times a week since September, but when I first got it, I almost traded it. In the beginning, I found the first section too fast, the entire second section awkward-- e.g. the set-up "ricochet" which has to be timed just right, or the skips across the step into a jumping jack on the floor, and the third section, with the little steps before the lunges, odd. Now, I'm a convert--but I remember complaining to MaryAnn Parker and doing MI-C three days in a row in a fit of pique.

This is why I wanted to post a review. If you are frustrated with this tape, leave it alone for a bit, and then try alternating it with a floor tape you like, and I think you'll find yourself settling in with it.

As others have said, this (and Body Max) assume you have prior knowledge. For folks who've been doing Cathe's earlier tapes, though, it's a wonderful feeling--like going on in your field with others in your same program.
