Is Rhythmic step easy?

[pixie9]

I taped this workout from FitTV last night and tried it today. It seemed so easy that before the cooldown, I popped in IMAX3 for 20 minutes to get some intensity going. Is this because it's so editted for television or is the entire thing more low intensity? Just wondering because I was thinking of buying it.
Thanks ladies,

I really like it, but I would classify it as a moderate workout. And, while I was trying to learn it, it wasn't much of a workout at all. But once you learn the combo's, there's enough intensity to keep your heart rate up--especially if you substitute power moves for the lower ones.

All in all, I think it's a really fun and refreshing workout for your lower intensity days. I'm certainly glad I got it.

Hope this helps,

I have not seen the FitTV version (I assume they cut out alot!), but I think this is a really fun workout and is a good steady state cardio workout. The full cardio (without warm-up and cool-down) is about 45 minutes and I sometimes do the Challenge twice which adds another 9 minutes.

This workout is definitely easier than any Imax workout, but I alwyas find I work up way more of a sweat than I expect to with RS. I sometimes raise my step height, but even when I don't I feel I get a really good cardio workout.

Thanks ladies-
You never know what they cut out for television. I think I'm going to go ahead and order this one!

Carolyn:

take a look at the thread on the first forum about "RS currently on backorder" and it has been for a while apparently. You may wish to delay your order until you see sign that it has been shipped to those with outstanding orders because SNM debits your credit card at the time of ordering, not at the time of shipping.

I may be in the minority, but this isn't my favorite. The choreography isn't too bad, but I am really enjoying Christi's Fantastic 4. Still Steppin and Step Heaven are soooo fun and the choreography isn't terribly difficult. It is a sweat fest. Her circuit sections really got my heart rate up. I do some of the modified versions because a lot of turning trips me up. It's only $26.95 and it's worth every penny. It's also well chaptered. I am going to attempt her hi/low this morning. Can you tell I'm in love with this dvd :7 The fact that RS has been on back order so long would be discouraging for me, especially paying the high price for older workouts.
