Hello Everyone,
I just signed up to this forum although I've lurked around here before. I've been using exercise videos for a little over a year now. I would say I'm at intermediate level so I thought this was a safe bet. I'd watched Cathe on FitTV before and was always interested in trying her workouts. I just recently purchased my first Cathe DVD "Basic Step & Body Fusion" and I love it! So much so, that I just ordered "Body Max 2" since I liked the content description and the clip preview. I have to admit I'm a little worried how I'm going to make out though since I'm reading that it's very tough. I feel challenged by Basic Step & Body Fusion" as it is, but I'm able to get through it okay. I've been combining the Basic Step w/ Body Fusion and the Stability Ball Abs, or Basic Step w/ all three add-ons.
I have quick question about the choreography though, as I know I can always modify the weight segments if they're too heavey or contain too many reps for me.
I pretty much got the choreography down on "Basic Step & Body Fusion" the second time through it (oh of course, I mess up here and there sometimes but can jump back on right away). I can do it with the pivot turns and hops just fine, at a 6" height, and it's a regular full-length step, not the club step. Is the choreography in "Body Max 2" that complicated or do you think I'll probably catch on quickly based on my experience with the former?
I'm just hoping I can get the full aerobic benefits of DVD almost right away without spending a lot of time trying to figure out the steps.
