How to Get in Shape for Your Wedding

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 1996

Categories: Step Aerobics


This is the seventh Cathe Friedrich video I've gotten and, until now, I've loved them all with the exception of Step Max which I liked (just didn't LOVE). However, this tape left me kind of cold. Partially, because I'm used to her complex choreography and this one is more basic. Therefore, it may be a good introduction to Cathe for those who have never tried her tapes. However, I also found Cathe herself to be somewhat irritating which really surprised me! All the cutesy wedding talk and her constant "Nice, Nice" comments really grated on me. (I'm really sorry, Cathe, usually I think you're super!).

The toning half of the video wasn't bad, but it doesn't compare to the FIRM or even Body Art for really making me feel like I got a great workout. Overall, this tape won't remain in my main rotation like all my other Cathe tapes.

Wow, usually I love Cathe and don't have any trouble tuning out the "whooping," but I really got tired of the constant talk of wedding dress styles, bathing suits for the honeymoon, mothers-in-law, hubbies, etc. I'm sure it's not bad if you really are planning your wedding, but it's not something I want to listen to regularly.
