CTX or 4DS?

With the current promo, I was thinking of buying one of these. Which one? I want something that's going to be really versatile. Step is my favorite, so I'm also wondering which one has the best step. Thanks!
 
Hello there,

I have CTX - I love it. I really do. I did it this morning. I've also ordered 4DS which is on its way. I wanted STS and 4DS but found that if I added another 8 DVD's and took advantage of the appreciation sale + volume discount, the extra 8 DVD's ended up being free. Do the math - you'll get more than you thought!!!!! play around with the dvd's and discounts. I love Cathe's math!!!!! I got STS - 40 disc set + 4DS + 8 other DVD's = $198.

so my verdict is.... get both.
 
I would say 4DS. CTX has 2 step routines I really like, but I like the step in 4DS even more, in fact they are my favorite step routines. Also the kickboxing in 4DS is my favorite kb routine. I LOVE the weight workouts in 4DS especially shoulders. 4DS is one of my very favorite workout DVDs.
 
I like CTX much better than 4DS. I think the cardio is a bit more intense and like having the CTX Upper Body workout, it has given my arms a great look! 4DS just didnt have much pizzazz for me.
 
My 4DS arrived and I've tried it (and CTX) so.....

Can you get both? I find the weights in 4DS are heavier than CTX and Cathe gets into some pyramid work in 4DS too. That said, CTX has some great workouts. they really are different workouts so you would use both.

I love 10/10/10 in CTX and the CTX kickboxing. I also love 4DS kickboxing but am not overly impressed my the bootcamp. Not too tough.

Hmmmmmm. This is a tough one. Toss a coin 'cos eventually you might get 'em both so.... tough call indeed. good luck. let us know.
 
4DS. I like both, but I think the choreography is super fun and the weights just can't be beat. The music is fun and has an oriental style. I use both at least 1x/month.
 
Like others, I say buy both if you can.

If you must choose one, I would go with 4DS because it has SO SO SO many premixes that combine the different cardio and/or weight sections in different, interesting ways. Just when I think I've done them all I find another. For this reason, this series gave me the most bang for my buck.
 
I agree if you can get both then do so, but I's say 4DS. Love the step routines and there are premixes galore. I love the music in 4DS as well.

Agree with previous, if you can get both - LOVE BOTH :D
I guess these days I lean towards 4DS a bit more :eek:

Good luck - you can't go wrong :rolleyes:
 
I love them both. However, if you must choose one set, I would recommend 4DS for no other reason than the Bootcamp workout. It's great by itself or as an add-on to another cardio session.

I love 'em both but... I think the majority is right - 4DS, although heavy weights, is fantastic and has lotsa options. I've been using it more than CTX so yeah, if you can't get both (but tryyyyyyy) then 4DS! I just did full upper body this morning. so many premixes.
 
I did choose 4DS, and I love it! The step routines are super fun, and I really like the heavy weights, especially for chest and back. I'm sure CTX will be in my library soon. I'm relatively new to Cathe, but the changes I've seen in my body are so great that I'm having trouble obtaining DVD's quickly enough ;)
