## Description

Basic Step This Cathe Friedrich step aerobics workout DVD was designed to help the beginner exerciser that is new to Cathe and to step aerobics. Basic Step is a 35-minute basic step routine that will hold the interest and truly challenge the beginner stepper for many workouts to come. While creating this workout, Cathe made sure that basic steps were introduced, taught, and put into combinations in a way that made the beginner have to focus and think, but not overwhelm them. Unlike teaching a live beginner class where each and every workout can change to provide a further challenge to the participant, an aerobic step DVD workout does not have that flexibility. For this reason, Cathe has chosen to teach the moves but not over teach them, thereby giving the beginner stepper a new challenge to work towards every time they do the workout. Body Fusion Cathe Friedrich's Body Fusion cardio step DVD is approximately a 50-minute workout. After the warm-up, you will go into your first step aerobic segment which features moves from videos past taught with a longer breakdown and more repetition than the other two upcoming step combos since you are just freshly out of the warm-up. This segment is about 10 minutes long. Now your first weight segment you'll do squats with overhead presses and lunges with side and front lateral raises for approximately 5 minutes (light breaks in between). Step combo two is a little more complex than one but still on the level of intermediate. It again is about 10 minutes long and features moves from other videos. Weight segment two features lunges off the back of the step and then later bicep curls standing on the floor. The biceps curls end with a little balance option of doing them while standing on one leg. Step Combo #3, totaling about 8 minutes, is the same level of complexity as two but has more intensity added. Weight segment three includes deadrows and deadlifts and then moves onto dips and push-ups before completing with a stretch.

Review: I made the mistake a long time ago to try one of Cathe's advanced step programs. I didn't do very well. However, I didn't want to do something called 'basic' believing that I wouldn't get a good workout in. I was wrong. Thankfully other Cathletes encouraged me to give this 2 program DVD a try. I really enjoyed both. Basic Step: This one was the perfect - get started with Cathe step - program. I kept my step height 8 so as to kick it up a notch aerobically. She does hers at 6. I also have a full sized step and she has the circuit sized one in the program. I'm positive I can do it at 10 inches next time. With the size and the height change I was still able to keep up just fine, and I'm sure it made it aerobically tougher for me, which I was looking for. It's only about 35 minutes so I can easily put on another of her weight or cardio routines to get me closer to my preferred hour long workout. The steps were dynamic, required me to focus but not so much so that I couldn't do it at my normal fresh out of bed 5am workout. By the second time I had the program down enough that I didn't feel like I couldn't stay with her. Body Fusion: I love this one. Its only slightly more advanced that her basic step. But the routines are really fun. You do 3 step routines that she slowly builds on in easy one before moving onto weights. So 3 step and 3 weighted segments all in all, one after the other. Again, I kept the step at 8 inches and full sized to her 6 inches and circuit size. But I still kept with the routine and really really enjoyed it. I had this one down by the 3rd time I tried it. I will reach for it time and time again. I up the weights from the ones Cathe uses to ones that challenge me. The great thing about the programs is that you can modify to make it more challenging or less challenging without feeling like changing the step height or weight size distracts you from the program. I'm so glad I started with these programs, I plan on getting progressively more challenging with Cathe step routines, this was the first 'step.' :)
Review: Occasionally I'll try small sections of Cathe's workouts on FitTV. But I'm never able to do one from start to finish. But based on the reviews here, I thought I'd give this set a try. The step moves are a lot more basic than Cathe's usual routines, but the even better news is that I definitely get that complete Cathe Friedrich workout that I've been wanting. I mean, seriously, have you seen Cathe and those women who work out with her? Give me their bodies any day. Even though I've been stepping for more than a year and added strength training in the last six months, when I challenged myself to do the entire two hours and ten minutes of routines on this DVD, I wasn't sore the next day, I was sore within a FEW HOURS of completing it. For me, that meant I'd worked unused areas harder than I had in a long time and so I felt I definitely got my money's worth with this DVD. Although the 30-minute Basic Step routine is almost too easy to give you much of a workout, you can easily combine it with the 50-minute Body Fusion circuit workout (three step routines, three weight routines) and/or the bonus routines - a 20-minute upper body, a 20-minute lower body and a 10-minute abs routine. The 50-minute Body Fusion workout is plenty on its own. I always go for the gusto and do them all and feel the thrill of victory when I'm done.

*by S***F on 3 October 2008*

i have been stepping for quite a while, though i have had my starts and stops. after i had the money and will to do so, i invested in an official reebok step and was looking for videos to get me back into it. this was one that i picked after doing research on amazon. i knew nothing about cathe, but i liked what i had read. this video was easy to follow and no doubt got me winded. i loved that i could pop it in and feel confident that i knew what i was doing in no time....just what i needed! her cues are good and the music isn't bad. and at 25 minutes, the basic step portion of the dvd is perfect for a mom with a restless 3 year old. this dvd makes it possible for me to be true to my exercise goals. i did find the warm -up lacking, however. i curb this by adding a little more time to my own warm up. my only other complaint is the "knees around the world" segment of the routine. at first, it was helpful that she went over it so much so i could "just feel so good about it" but after i did, it becomes a drag to receive never ending instruction on how to do a move that i don't find to be rocket science to begin with. this is a small complaint, though, considering how much this dvd has done for me, namely, continuing to get stronger by doing this and other videos and staying true to my goals. p.s. i haven't tried the body fusion parts of the video yet, so i have nothing to report about it.
