Want new videos - What should I get????

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-00 AT 09:47AM (Est)[/font][p]Hi,
In about 4 weeks I am going to be changing my rotation. I haven't decided how yet. I currently am doing all upper body parts twice a week with heavy weights. Once with MIS and one time with PS BBA and CST. The rest of the week is step or floor aerobics with ABS every other day. I throw in some YOGA or strecthing whenever I get a chance.
My next rotation will probably be MIS or BM :-hmmm once a week and then a faster pace lower weight workout once a week (CM???? or I have Voight's great weighted workout). The rest will be step or floor aerobics. I'm thinking of upping my AB work to every day. But I have four weeks to change my mind. ;-)

My Cathe videos include MIS, PS BBA, PS CST, IMAX, MSB, and Step Heat. I am concerned about cheography . I didn't have a problem with MSB or SH but have heard some of her others are much more involved. I'd like to work myself up slowly on the cheography diffucultly so I can eventually get her CCX series.
CAN ANYBODY MAKE SUGGESTIONS??? :-hmmm :-hmmm :-hmmm

Here's what I'm thinking.
CK for sure
CM
maybe BM
maybe MIC
one other step video???????

However I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks to all of you for your advice and continued support,
I love this site :-jumpy

Dawn,

Step Max is really good for not so complex moves. In fact, I pop it in when I don't feel like thinking about what I'm doing! Definately get Cardio Kicks!!! It is awesome! The Wedding tape's choreography is pretty good, too, and if you are looking for more intense moves, then Power Max is really fun.

Happy Shopping!

Hi Dawn!

I am alot like you I have had to work into the more challenging choreography also. I thought I would offer my opinion since Im going thru the same thing My two suggestions for step tapes would be either Powermax or Step Jam. I think both are alot of fun and a good next step after the ones you have. It took me about 2-3 times to really get the hang of these but each time I did them I liked them more :-jumpy Good luck with your new rotation! Let us know what you end up picking

Thank you both for your input. Based on your input I've got it narrowed down.
1)PM
2)CK
3)TWV (this will give me a shorter toning workout then Voight's for when I'm short on time)

The last two I'm still torn on. This is why I thinking about this now instead of waiting the week before I change my rotation.
;-)
SJ or MIC (I'm leaning toward Step Jam)
CM or BM.
Any other thoughts? :-hmmm I know I'll probably be happy with whatever I get, but my goal is to work up to being able to handle the cheography in CTX, so I'm looking for the best route to that. I imagine I'm about 2 or 3 - 6 week rotations away.

Thanks again, :-jumpy

Hi Dawn!

I am probably the clumsiest person alive and I didn't have any trouble with the choreography in the CTX series and the only older Cathe cardio tape I had before buying the CTX series is IMAX (I've got PS series and MIS for strength). The new 8 pk is really awesome and if I can do the choreography, believe me, anyone can. Cathe's cueing is so good that I didn't even rewind any sections, if I didn't get it exactly right the first time I just picked it up the next time. By the third time I did these tapes I had them down pat. You mentioned lighter weight, faster pace and that is exactly what CTX is. CM and CK are also both alot of fun and you will be happy with both of these. I'm planning to get BM and MIC in the near future.

Just my 2 cents worth. Everyone is different and I'm sure you'll make the smart choices for you. I guess this didn't help you much with your choices, but you're right - you will be happy with any Cathe tape you choose!

Hi Lorri,
Thanks for the input. You almost had me convinced to get CTX and four of the other videos I was comtemplating. So whats $125 vs. $65 anyway???? }> However, I want to stick to a routine and it's hard for me to keep from being distracted when I have untried vidoes sitting within my reach, so I'm going to wait. In fact I'm going to wait till a week before I start my new rotation before I order the new ones.

I have however made up my mind.:-jumpy
I'll be getting
CK
CM
SJ
TWV
PM

Thanks again for everyone's help. I don't know why but planning my next routine ahead of time helps keep me motivated in keeping up and completing my current routine.
