Default SUBSTITUTE FOR STEP WORKOUTS

Hi
I find that I have trouble with the step routines as I don't have enough room and wanted to know how I can substitute the Low Impact Challenge. I did do Turbo Barre instead.... but did'nt know if that was a good one or not...

Thanks

LIC is pretty intense cardio, so Turbo Barre is not a good switch, in my opinion, since it doesn't really get your heart racing. Do you have a gym membership or any other equipment at home? What other Cathe DVDs do you have? I would say a fair trade would be any other Cathe cardio workout (like kickboxing or HiiT), going for a run, some time on an elliptical machine or a bike or a fast power walk on a decent incline.

Well you have lots of great other cardio options then! You could sub with Intensity, Athletic Training, Afterburn, Cardio Supersets, or Slide & Glide. And all those have fantastic premix options for more variety. I would save Lower Body Blast, the Gym Styles, Total Body, High Reps and Turbo Barre for your weight training days.
