    I am short on time today but I want to get the most out of my workout. Which would you do after the kick/punch combos, the kickbox challenge or the leg conditioning drills? I am new to this workout and haven't tried either. I have only did the kick/punch combs. Thanks for the input.

    for those who use 8" step which videos?

    RE: for those who use 8 Does it really make a huge difference on the heart rate? I noticed this morning I used 6" for Step Blast and my heart rate wasn't high enough.

    for those who use 8" step which videos?

    I was curious, for those of you who use 8" on your step, which videos do you use 8" for? The only video I have used 8" for is Low Max. Does anyone use 8" for Step Blast or Rhythmic Step? (my faves)! I would like to kick up the intensity, just wondering if anyone else was brave enough. I am...

    pyramids???

    I love Cathe's upper & lower pyramid vieos. I don't have that many weights and I was wondering if it would still be effective if I used the same challenging weight for all sets? I usually choose a weight that I can do 10 reps with.

    To Moms with 2+ kids.... how do you squeeze workouts in?

    Try not too feel bad about wanting to do this for yourself. After all you deserve it! Sometimes I too feel like I'm neglicting my kids when I workout. I still do it because I think of it this way... the kids have the rest of the day. It's only an hour. I have my kids used to my routine. At...

    Do you have to do abs first????

    I have always done ab work first thing in the morning, then later I will do a Cathe "weights" video like muscle max. I noticed she always does abs last. Is there a reason for this? Should I do the ab work in the order in which the video does?

    Cathe, is it REALLY beneficial to do HIIT?

    I have been reading alot about HIIT and I like to add it to my routine just so I will have variety. However, I am really enjoying your step videos. I am a beginner at step aerobics (not to weights or any other cardio)and just found out how much faster time goes by with your workouts. As you...

    learning step aerobics

    I just bought Basic Step and really like it. I CAN do it! I was just wondering if maybe I could try Low Max next. I am not really sure which one to try next. I am having a hard time getting step heat on this website. Is Low Max hard as far as choregraphy?

    Thanks for answering my question. I really enjoy working out with you! After the baby is born you better bet I will be pushing my workouts to the limit. But for now I'll take precautions.
