Step Works-->What do you think?

[jtlane25]

I'm considering getting the Step works video. I am just curious to see what it compares to in her other step workouts. Is it anything like the step in Body Max or is it more like her newer style step? Just looking for a tad bit of feedback before I get it.

Thanks!

Step Works and Body Max step are very, very similar in nature. Both quite high intensity, high impact, fast bpm.

If you buy the dvd with Step Works on it, you also get two other great, older workouts: Power Hour and Step Fit.

Cheers,
Sandra

I agree Step Works is very similar choreography-wise to Body Max. But Body Max is a good deal faster. Step Works is "dancier" than Powermax, yet not as dancy as Rhythmic Step and the newer stuff.

I have always liked it. High intensity, especially in the first section. The second section starts off easier, then adds an interval effect in later on as Cathe puts it all together. Section 3 starts off with dancy choreography that is not super intense. But! When Cathe puts it all together she adds in a high intensity, blast type movement and this will challenge you! So, th whole workout is a nice blend of dancy (for Cathe) choreo and intense power moves.

This one was my first Cathe workout, which, got me hooked. Love this one.

I love it that I start out with many of my favorite moves and ends with the blasts in the last segment. You start out with fun and end with a bang, the good kind.

I love Step Works! The choreography is much more complex than Body Max and quite intense due to the fast BPM count. This is my favorite older step workout of Cathe's.

Hey Tanya! StepWorks is a great workout. It's fun, it's intense and for me the choreography still feels fresh even though I've been doing it for years. When I want a good old fashioned step sweatfest I reach for StepWorks. I'm with Sandra, if you can swing it get the DVD and enjoy PowerMax and StepFit as well, you can mix up sections of all of the workouts or just do certain parts as add ons to other workouts. If you like BodyMax you'll love StepWorks.

I recently just added step works to my collection and I find it is great for steady state cardio like step blast is. It definitely keeps your heart rate up the whole time without a lot of complex choreography. I would definitely recommend it. I find the choreography a little more interesting than body max-but body max is great for a short step section when you are short on time and want a good workout. I say get it!

Thanks guys! I did it...I ordered the DVD! I'm so excited! Thank for your help and suggestions. I do like Body Max so if Step works is similar to Body Max...than it's a great purchase for me. I am a fitness instructor and I love INTENSE cardio and it's nice to not have to think of choreography as a participant vs teaching it. However, I don't teach step--I didn't touch a step until a 1.5 years ago. Man..do I realize what I have been missing!!!! What fun!!!

Thanks again!
