Wedding Tape, Mega Step Blast, or Step Heat?

[DanielleS]

I am trying to decide which one to try for my first Cathe tape. I've been doing Kari Anderson's Fitness Formula and Keli Roberts Ultimate Step without any difficulty (but only on a 6"step). Do you think I'm ready for Cathe and which tape would you all recommend to try first? Thanks!

You'll do just fine with Cathe!

Hi Danielle,

I let the Collage ratings intimidate me, so I didn't try Cathe until I found Step Jam in the library & checked it out. Boy am I glad I did! Step Jam was alot more choreography than I was used to, but I picked it up much more easily than I thought I would & I'm sure you will too! It was also alot harder workout than I had been doing, so I just dropped my board down to the floor -- & was still drenched when I finished!

I ended up purchasing the three tapes you mention plus Step Jam & I like them all! I try to do most of my workouts on a 6" step, but if I get tired or I feel like I'm just not up for a kick butt workout, I take it down to 4". (My goal is to do all of Step Jam on a 6" board & if I ever get to the point where I can do it on an 8" board, I will PARTY! You know, a typical vidiot party -- buy more tapes & some exercise clothes!)

Here are the tapes you mentioned in my order of preference: Step Heat, Wedding Tape, MSB. Give Cathe a try & let us know what you think!

couldn't agree more

I have to agree with Lezly...you'll be fine. Don't be scared by the things you read about Cathe being too advanced, if you're that familiar with stepping, you'll love these tapes. I started with MSB and Step Heat, which I just LOVE. Step Heat is a little shorter which works very well on days when I do other things as well-- like strength training.
Just for my own preference I didn't like the Wedding Tape as much, but that's just me.
My only suggestion would be to keep the VCR remote handy as you'll probably have to stop and rewind in a few places on your first few tries. That's really it though.
Have fun!

Step Heat my first

Hi Danielle,

Welcome to the world of Cathe. I'll have to say that Step Heat was my first Cathe. I love it. Not too complex and short 35 minutes of cardio with a great abs routine. I had ordered this one with MSB and Step Jam or Step Max, I can't remember, it was a long time ago. Wedding Tape came along later. I was recuperating from Double Lung Pneumonia and was thankful to be able to work my way up to the Wedding Tape. I used Kari's Fitnes Formula and Keli's tape to build me up to Cathe level. Ok, long digression here.

My choices would be Wedding Tape ( you also get a great toning section with the tape), Step Heat & Step Jam. I know that Step Jam wasn't one of your choices but, I always loved Step Jam for some reason. As a matter of fact, I was planning to do that one today. Check out Cathe's generous discounts for quantity purchases. You might want to get more than one

When doing Cathe you may want to drop your step level down the first few times you do the tape. It's okay, just work your way up, it's worth it.

Thanks!

I just ordered the Wedding Tape and I can't wait to try it out. I'll let you all know how I do with it. Thanks again for your suggestions!
