In creating step videos, Cathe is faced with the need to strike a balance between spending a lot of time teaching complex choreography that becomes boring once it has been learned and creating a program with minimal teaching time so that it has "staying power" after the steps have been learned...

Some business owners don't seem to understand that nitpicking policies and an unhappy customer can cause serious damage to their business. By contrast, several months ago I wrote to customer service at shopcathe.com when I discovered that the price on a DVD had dropped by $5 the day after I...

Amazon also carries Ryka Assist XT and XT 2 shoes. (I recently bought two pairs of XT 2 shoes through Sears.com with 50% off and free shipping, but they quickly sold out of common sizes and don't seem to carry your size 10.5.)

Buneknek, I'd say the choreography in IMAX3 is similar to that in IMAX2. I find that I need to modify more of the blasts in IMAX3 than in IMAX2 to reduce the impact on my knees. I got the impression from what I've read on this forum that a lot of people like the music in IMAX2 better than...

I don't have Body Max 2, but I obtained IMAX3 (after mastering IMAX2) and Intensity in that order. I too was intimidated by IMAX3 based on what I read long ago on this forum. When I finally tackled it, I learned the step segments first because these present a choreography challenge as well as...

I know it's difficult to predict but how much time typically elapses between the presale and delivery of the finished DVDs? 3 months? 6 months? longer?

It wasn't easy but I finally found the announcement for the new low impact series at http://cathe.com/filming-begins-on-cathes-low-impact-series. Very good news!

Please share with us what was in the email that you received. A new low impact series is at the top of the wish list for me and a lot of others on this forum. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I don't have personal experience with or knowledge of this particular injury, but as a pharmacist I know that applying ice intermittently for the first 24 hours after an acute injury minimizes inflammation and pain (you don't want to damage the tissue by...

Betty, Just to clarify--I have never used my Asics running shoes for step aerobics because of the need for a shoe designed for lateral movement as well as forward motion. I had been wearing Nike aerobics shoes with a boot-like fit and leather upper. Like you, switching to a low-cut shoe with...

I've had a front loading LG washing machine for 2 years. The instructions that came with it are completely inadequate. I've been fortunate not to have the musty/moldy smell that a lot of people have encountered even after carefully wiping excess water from around the front door gasket after...

Luann, I agree that the shoe brand doesn't matter as long as the shoes are well built and designed for the activity (e.g., I don't wear running shoes for step workouts because of the need for lateral movement). I sought out the Ryka shoes worn by Cathe and crew in their recent DVD series only...

I too really like IMAX, which is on the Rhythmic Step DVD. Some of the blasts in the IMAX workouts are rough on my joints (especially my knees), and I've found the blasts on IMAX easier to modify than those on IMAX2 and IMAX3. IMAX is challenging.

I just received the Assist XT 2 shoes from Sears.com for the sale price of $49.99 with free shipping to continental U.S., an offer that is good until April 2. I would not be surprised to see this sale repeated since it seemed to end Feb 26 when Bettypcw first alerted us about it. I just...

Step Moves is much more difficult to learn than Rhythmic Step and does not provide as good a cardio workout (good for a day when you are particularly tired or recovering from illness perhaps). Athletic Step is easier to learn than Step Moves and provides a better cardio workout, possibly better...

I think some of the complaints I've seen in various reviews of Low Max pertained to an insufficient cardiovascular challenge, but I find the workout plenty challenging if I do all (or even most) of it and pay attention to my form. It's not difficult to learn (much easier than Step Moves, for...

So how do you like Rhythmic Step? I hope it met your expectations. I still go to it often. It has "staying power" for me.

Step Jam, which is on Classics volume 1, is a favorite of mine. The choreography is straightforward, and the workout is a good cardiovascular challenge.

I was hoping someone would ask about this DVD when I saw it on sale this week because I think it is a gem. I have a limited budget and small collection of Cathe videos, so I too waited eagerly for Rhythmic Step to go on sale and purchased it several months ago. I don't regret it. I think you...

Another IMAX2 fan Initially I was intimidated by IMAX2, but I gradually worked my way up to doing all of it except the most high-impact blasts (they're rough on my knees). It's a great sense of accomplishment. I just obtained IMAX1, which is part of the Rhythmic Step DVD, and it seems less...
