Reebok "The Video"

Has anyone done this video? How would you compare it to Cathe? I have a friend who uses this video and wants a new one, I want to recommend a Cathe but I don't want to scare her if this Reebok video is REALLY basic. What Cathe would you find it most comparable to? Thanks!
 
That video is so old and basic that I can't stand it! :)

I suggest either Step Heat...which I think is very short, basic to Cathe choreography and repetitive, or Step Jam. :)

HI Runathon--

This is a good tape if you are new to step. Gin Miller does a great job of cueing, and the moves are very easy to do.

Pretty much all of Cathe's tapes are going to be much more challenging both choreographically and in intensity. If you want to recommend a Cathe tape.. I would say Step Heat would be a good one as well.

But, overall I think its a great tape for beginners, and the music is kind of cool. Very tribal.

Lynn is right- this video is good for starters. But it has a lunge section at the end that can be tough. I remember that this was my 1st step tape when I was 17 and I had to stop throughout it and sit down. Now it's easy.

But I still do it on occassion. You can add power to the moves to make it a harder workout. It's good for days when you're tired. I like the set/music, but some don't. The Power step tape is good- it has a simlar feel but is tougher.

Compared to Cathe's tapes, the Reebok tapes are easier (but again, you can make them harder) and the set is totally different. It's darker w/ a "warehouse" type set and live drums. The music is kind of tribal beat. Gin doesn't talk much other than to give instructions. There's about 8 other steppers. I still really like these tapes though. Some days you just want a quiet, simple workout.
 
How about this....

Maybe suggest Reebok's Intense Moves w/Gin Miller. It's a tougher tape, but the choreography is still easy. THEN, when she's ready for even more, throw her the Cathe tapes. Maybe that would work as an easier "step-up" to Cathe's tough workouts.

RE: How about this....

I like this tape it was my second Reebok step tape its a good lighter alternative to Cathe if you want to go easier. The lunges at the end can be challenging but I still found that compared to Cathe it is a walk in the park you will sweat but you won't get that 'grit you teeth to get through it' attitude I have with Cathe.

Thanks guys! I think I will try the Intense Moves to give her some variety and then when she has gotten used to that, toss Cathe at her! I appreciate all of your input!
