Hello! Now on the reply screen, I cannot see your name so-- hello!
Let's rate the intensity of these workouts. Let's say Interval Max is a 10 and Step Heat is a 5. There are none lower than a 5.

Choreography- let's call Step Heat a 5 and Rhythmic Step a 10 (even R. S. is easy after about 4 times through, and satifying the first time!)

This is just my opinion so use it if you like.

>Power Max- Intensity: 8 Choreo: 8
>Step Fit- Int: 6 Choreo: 6
>Step Works- I: 5 C: 5
>
>Step Jam- I: 5 C: 6 (This workout is over an hour)
>Step Heat- I: 5 C: 5
>Step Max- I: 5 C: 5
>
>Circuit Max- I: 9 C: 6
>Cardio Kicks- I: 8 C: 5 or 6
>
>Rhythmic Step- I: 7-8 C: 10
>Interval Max- I: 10 C: 6-7
>Maximum Intensity Cardio- I: 9-10 C: 7

Let's see if others agree or if we get some votes that push the consensus up or down on certain ones.

I would have to say that Step Works is more a 7-8 intensity in my opinion! Otherwise I agreee with Connie! Susan

Here's my humble opinion. Background on me...been doing Cathe for over 5 years, prefer athletic to dancey choreography, not a klutz but usually takes 2-3 times to get down choreography. I'm simply going to make two lists, one for intensity, one for choreography and list the workouts in order of decreasing intensity, and choreography from trickiest to simplest.

INTENSITY

Interval Max
Circuit Max
MIC
Cardio Kicks
Step Works
Power Max
Step Jam
Rhythmic Step
Step Fit
Step Max
Step Heat

CHOREOGRAPHY

Actually looking over the list, I'd say Rhythmic Step is trickiest choreography wise and then Step Works. Step Heat and Step Max are the easiest. All the others in my opinion can be grouped together as "medium". (For comparison, I think Kathy Smith's choreography is easy and I sold all of my Christi Taylor and Andre Houle videos b/c the choreography wasnt happenin' for me)

I agree with Connie except for one thing. Maximum Intesity Cardio should be an 11!! I think it's harder than Interval Max because there's little to no recovery time in MIC.
