This review is only for the step portion of the wedding tape.

I got this tape on the exchange because I wanted to break myself in to Cathe's step workouts, after having previously only using her strength workouts, except for Cardio Kicks. I'd heard over-and-over (no pun intended) that this was a good place to start. I am not dissappointed. This is an excellent basic Cathe step routine, fairly simple, anyone could catch on if they're familiar with step. It's a pretty intermediate routine if you keep it on the low side. You *can* make it more challenging easily by upping your step height and/or adding air to many of the moves (you will have plenty of opportunity). I really enjoy this workout and have been using it for about six weeks now. I held off for awhile after i got it, because I was a skeeredycat, but after doing it, I thought "THIS is what I was afraid of:)?? I mean that as in: It's exceptionally cued, it's exceptionally fun, it's exceptionally doable if you are new to Cathe step, easy to modify - - - ALL compliments!!!

Funny things: throughout the tape there are actual video clips from Cathe's wedding, which I find totally endearing. Also she does make quips here and there about looking good on the beach (presumably on your H'Moon) etc. but I found the quips totally benign and even kinda funny- I don't ever think she'd say that stuff in a tape she puts out these days (although who knows, right?).

The breakdown is : a decent warm up (9-12 mins?? guessing) section 1 30 mins about) section 2 (step turned toward tv vertically-about 15 min) and a cool down (5 min?), and stretch.

For me, now, this is a 'fun to do easier day' tape, and it is in regular rotation in that capacity for me now that my cardio capacity has improved so much (thanks in part to Cathe). You can make it easier for the days when you just kind of want to move around, but it's also a good cardio on those days where you want to work hard, you just aren't in the mood for Circuit Max or IMax.

Instructor Comments:
Love her.
