I'd like to see a DVD that combines various types of cardio, each for about 10 minutes. It would start with about a 10-minute warm-up of gradually increasing range-of-motion moves and light cardio, then be followed by several 10-minute sections (which could be mixed and matched as we see fit).
Segments could include:
*athletic, low-impact floor cardio using a medicine ball (ie: doing low impact "speed skaters" while moving the ball in a figure 8 pattern),
*vertical step or high step with plyo ONTO the step (no "dancy" moves or 180=degree or 360-degree moves, just athletic "drill" -type moves),
*jumproping (some backgrounders could use a rope, some not),
*step kickboxing,
*rebounding (those who don't have a rebounder could skip this part and still have a full workout, but it would give those of us clammoring for a Cathe rebounder workout some small satisfaction...and introduce others to the possibilities of rebounding...you could also have some backgrounders do similar moves on the floor that those without a rebounder could follow),
*floor kickboxing or boxing.
This would be followed by a 10 minute cool-down/stretch (5-minute cool-down featuring maybe some balance moves and standing ab moves with the medicine ball).
