I thought the question was about downloads……

That's correct - I think everyone has experience with dvds and those us who prefer dvds may have concerns about Cathe /SNM not producing them in the future. Hence the questions about downloads for those of us who don't want or cannot stream On-Demand.

Two Cathletes have confirmed you get the bonuses in a separate download chapter without having to pay extra for them. And NO premixes with downloads. Mixed responses on whether the chapters are easy to navigate - may be an equipment issue - not sure as I recall others saying they use software like Handbrake to create their own premixes. I'll need to investigate more as I use the Premixes a lot. Right now, I prefer DVDs. If they will no longer be produced, I'd probably do downloads & I need to know how simple it will be to skip back & forth through the chapters, or create my own premixes. I'm not interested in On-Demand at this time.

I would probably just continue to use OnDemand….for as long as I can…

I think On-Demand with the blender is the bomb! But I have almost every dvd Cathe has produced, so for me it would be redundant. But I think anyone starting off, or who lives outside the USA, or doesn't have such a large collection would absolutely love On-Demand. I also think I'd become a bit obsessed with blending :D - I guess there's worse obsessions tho ... hee hee

Yep, you know I am a blender addict…. I recently deleted over 700 from my blender
library, but have added probably 20 or more since…..:):). I deleted a lot of step only
workouts, as I don’t do step as often as I used to, and a lot of my older ones…. I keep
it only because of the blender, cause like you said, I have all of Cathe’s dvds, except
Terminator. I still have alot of the original VHS tapes too, some older ones were never
put on dvd…can’t part with them…..:)

:rolleyes: Chuckling .... I still have my old VHS workouts too. There're on a side-bookcase, but I can't make myself throw them out - too much sentimental value. They are all replaced with the updated dvd now. Most are step videos - I was late to Cathe's step workouts, maybe around year 2000 but when I discovered how fun her step was compared to others, I went back and got pretty much all that were available. I started buying her strength videos in the 1990's tho - she was one of the first who was serious about strength training.
 
Yes, I asked, (I'm not sure if anyone asked anything else up thread) and received the answer to my question regarding whether downloads of Cathe's releases included the premixes. I use premixes on her DVDs many times more than the actual workouts.

I was asking because of my concern whether she would continue to produce DVD content.

The price of the downloads isn't really all that different from the DVDs and, for me, doesn't include the value of the premixes. I'm not tech savvy enough to create my own premixes from the downloads.

The blender option with ondemand does sound like a great functionality but unfortunately somewhat useless for someone with crappy internet.

So will ride, or die, with my DVDs :cool:
 
If I never buy another dvd, I have more than enough to keep me satisfied :). I didn’t even
mention all the Live downloads that I have purchased even tho’ I have Live w/OnDemand, probably 25-30, maybe more during the past few years…and with all the
new content that will be in LM&R, I think I am good to go!

Cathe's DVDs are/were the best in the business. KCM came close when she used Greg or Cathe's studio to film & Greg started adding premixes to the dvds for her. Most of Greg's CIA workouts I have are on VHS, so I don't know if he had premixes on the later dvds. He still is, or was, involved in Cathe's productions. I hope Cathe/SNM continues to offer DVDs too.

I think "Get in Shape for Your Wedding" and maybe the original "Step in Motion?" were not released on DVD, nor in the blender. Were there others?
 
I'll get on that right now! :) I never got Get in Shape for your Wedding, but so many have said in the past
what a great workout that was.

I've heard the same. I didn't understand the appeal at the time unless one was preparing for their own wedding around that time.

BTW, I didn't expect you to go researching... unless you want to of course! :)
 
I'm back.........I found 4.........I thought I had another......maybe..........someplace!

Step "N" Motion "Taking it from the Top" 1991----on back of the box it says"This 60 min. workout is designed
for the novice who has never exercised with the step" Once you have mastered this workout, you can step
up to advanced Step "N" Motion .......it then lists 3 more Step "N" Motion 1, 2, & 3. That being said, I
checked on OnDemand to see if the 4 I have are listed there, they are not, but OnDemand does have
Step "N" Motion 1.

Cathe-The Home Step Workout

Cathe's Fredrich's Mega Step Blast

Cathe Step N' Motion Cardio Step Challenge
 
On back of the Home Step workout box, it shows 2 other workouts: Fit & Firm and Rock Bottoms.
That might be what I am thinking about, because I am sure I had Rock Bottoms at one time..........

Wow!

I think we may have MegaStep Blast on VHS.

I remember in the late 80's, my aerobics instructor told us she thought Cathe had the hardest, most advanced step workouts out there. That kept me away from them for a long time. After getting CTX, I wished I had not shyed away for so long.

I think Rock Bottoms had a very risqué photo? I could be wrong ...

I'm looking at the little pics right now.......Rock Bottoms is just a pic (side view) of hips,legs

Fit & Firm is a pic that you might be thinking of.....it reminds me of in the movie, FlashDance, where
she is leaning back in that chair when that bucket of water dumps on her....... No water on Cathe tho' :)

Ah, that's the one. I think the water is sweat! The photo was like FlashDance ... ha ha ... I loved that movie ... it even helped me make the decision to leave my career & go to grad school ... mid 80's.
