strapping band or weights

Hi. I think this DVD is definitely worth keeping for a beginner. The Basic Step workout is a nice introduction to Cathe, and the Body Fusion workout is a solid beginner/intermediate routine.
I don't think Cathe uses bands in this one, but if she does, you can substitute light, medium or heavy weights. Bands or weights can be bought at Target/TJMaxx/Walmart/Sports Authority...

Good luck!

Paola~I have used weights for BOTH sets when Cathe uses the band for one set and weights for the other. I have also used the band for BOTH sets and it works fine too. Here are the details for the Body Fusion workout. Let me know if you have more questions:
Body Fusion: It is approximately a 50 minute workout which is formatted as
follows:
Warm up
Step combo #1
Weight segment #1
Step Combo #2
Weight Segment #2
Step Combo #3
Weight Segment #3
Stretch
After the warm up you will go into your first step aerobic segment which features
moves from videos past taught with a longer breakdown and more repetition than
the other two upcoming step combos since you are just freshly out of the warm
up. This segment is about 10 minutes long.
Now your first weight segment will do squats with overhead presses and lunges
with side and front lateral raises for approximately 5 minutes (light breaks in
between).
Step combo two is a little more complex than one but still on the level of
intermediate. It again is about 10 minutes long and features moves from other
videos.
Weight segment two features lunges off the back of the step and then later bicep
curls standing on the floor. The biceps curls end with a little balance option of
doing them while standing on one leg.
Step Combo #3, totaling about 8 minutes, is the same level of complexity as two
but has more intensity added.
Weight segment three includes deadrows and deadlifts and then moves onto dips
and push ups before completing with a stretch. To View Pictures from Body
