Hi!

I am totally not helpful here! All I can say is that my thighs have stayed the same diameter whether I'm stepping, hi/lo or kickboxing. I do think variety is key to staying with a program though.

Keep the stepping and go by your results and how you feel. Some people do get thicker thighs, some slim down and others find that their knees hurt when stepping a lot.

Listen to your body!
Good luck!

Hi!
Yes, I will say that stepping has made my quads bigger, but not my thighs, but I have lost a ton of weight and gained alot of definition with Cathe. I think that toned thighs look great, and I think that I have gotten that look via Cathe really. I did bulk in the legs with FIRM videos for some reason, maybe because I was not shedding the fat on top of the muscles or something ( I do more cardio now) so that could be a culprit of extra bulking too..

All I have to say is that I agree, just stick with Bodymax, it is one of Cathe's best and toughest IMO, honestly I have changed the shape of my thighs thanks to stepping, but they aren't any bigger, but smaller and more defined I guess!

Hi Jaime, I have to agree with you on using the Firm tapes. I was using them for a few years and did notice my legs getting bigger!! Not a feature I found attractive! Yet in using the Cathe tapes I have been seeing a difference in the way my pants have been fitting lately and am happy with the way it is going which is amazing as I have only been doing Bodymax for about 3 weeks or so along with BC and ME. I will continue to use these tapes and have been spreading the word on what an awesome workout you can get using Cathe tapes/dvds!! Thanks for your reply
