High Step Challenge

[shannoncorrin]

How would you rate this workout? I've been thinking of getting a high step workout and this one is on sale. It looks like a circuit workout too which is really appealing. If I hear good things about it, I may just have to purchase it. Im a little nervous, Ive never done a download before. Do you still get premixes with the downloads?

Thanks!

I've been wanting this workout too, but I'm not going to get it as a download because you don't get the premixes. I'm going to wait for it to go on sale as a DVD because I've heard great things about it.

Downloading is great for things w/o premixes -- less expensive, especially w/ a sale, and you can buy/download only part of a routine, for example I bought the download for part 3 of Stretch Max. I also bought the download for Travel Fit.

This is a really fun circuit workout. I love it. The premixes are just shortened versions of the circuits. So they aren't like all cardio or all weights like some of her other premixes.

High Step Challenge is one of my favorites of Cathe's! Personally, I have not done any of the premixes on this one, so it wouldn't bother me not to have them in the download version. It is such a great wo in its entirety that I only do it when I have time for the whole DVD.

Hope that helps!

Hi there,

I must also agree that High Step Challenge ranks up there as one of my all-time favorite Cathe DVD's, particularly in the circuit training category. IMO, it is already very intense as designed. I often times find it a challenge to make it through the entire workout without pausing/stopping. I love this workout and can't praise it enough! My favorite cycles are 1-3 in this workout, probably because they're the ones that I do most often - LOL. I like the music and the energy of the cast in this one too.

Over the years, I've really played around with the workout intensity, especially after doing the 1RM tests for STS. I really bumped up the intesnity by lifting the heaviest weights that I could for exercises (i.e. use my smith machine for the squats, barbell lunges, etc), and WOW - what incredible results to an already comprehensive program. My point in this is that this workout has grown with me over the 5 years that I've owned it, and it never gets boring. I reach for it often when I workout at home.

Let us know what you decide!

Good luck

I bought this download before reading these reviews and now I am so happy I did. I can't wait to try it out.

I can't speak about the download option, but I love High Step Challenge. It is very intense, has great music and really delivers. It is one kick butt workout!
