that much difference in intensity and if so, could someone give me the lowdown? I have HSC and my heart is pumping throughout. I can't imagine going more intense right now but want to add another circuit training dvd to my workouts and was considering HSTA. I was also considering "Bootcamp" but think I'm a little too young to die! ;-)

In my opinion and my HRM's opinion, HSTA is a tougher workout. I reach for HSC when I want a lower intensity circuit (not low just lower). I think HSTA is tougher because of the cardio and some of the circuits. I have tried to beef the cardio up in HSC by making it more impact but it still doesn't compare with HSTA. With that being said HSC is still a challeging workout and alot of folks prefer HSC because of the music and they find the workout itself more fun.
 
I have HSTA and the cardio is really tough and then she does legs presses after every cardio section. that is really tough for me. I do not have HSC, but from what I heard it is less intense than HSTA. And as far as Bootcamp, go ahead and buy it . It is awesome! Just hold on to your belt!

I find HSTA to be one of Cathe's toughest workouts. I think it's harder than Bootcamp. But, that's probably because I find BC to be a fun workout, and HSTA is, well....tortuous! }( She does push ups in every conceivable way, and there's a million leg presses. It's not for the faint of heart. But, if you are a Cathe fan, it's a must in your collection!
 
I'm one of the people who likes HSC better than HSC cuz of the music and I think HSC is really fun. I have to agree with the cardio in HSTA....it is pretty tough. I just did it the other day and at the end I couldn't believe how many leg presses we did!!
