Welcome aboard!
There are a few of us who check in here from time to time (although I suspect there are more lurking in the wings...). It's good to hear from you. What are some of your Cathe favorites? I just got her gym style workouts this summer, and really enjoy them. I also think her newest 4 day split workouts are fantastic.
I just saw you asked about Amy Bento in yesterday's check in. Here's my thoughts on Advanced Step Challenge 2:
Advanced Step Challenge 2 is the only Amy Bento workout I have, but I think I'll be getting more. This particular workout has very tricky moves. I think I'm a step enthusiast, and it's tough for me. It's put together kinda like Cathe's Rhythmic Step in that you learn parts at a time and then put it all together at the end.

Amy calls the moves "Athletic", but I'd say some of it is a bit dancy. There's sure a lot to remember.
The only thing I find frustrating is that she doesn't use 16 count phrasing like Cathe does. Some people might not notice this, but I found it tricky at first. Like, for example, if Cathe is going to change lead legs, she might do a 7 knee repeater followed by 2 3 knee repeaters. Amy will just do a 3 knee repeater and start the combo right away. I know that might just be my own quirky preference (I'm a music teacher), so there you go.
If you liked the format of Rhythmic Step (or Step Blast), and don't mind a lot of choreography, you'd like this video.
Hope this helps more than confuses...
