Hi everyone! I've recently previewed and done most of Cathe's older step tapes like Step Max, Mega Body Blast, Step Jam, Step Fit and Step Works, and guess what finally hit me? A lot of the trickier choregraphy with which I was struggling in Rhythmic Step and the CTX series had it's start in these older videos!! Duh. Took me long enough ... LOL! I did Rhythmic Step today, and guess what? I DID IT!! I mean, this time I really did it! I was on the right foot, and it was WAY fun!! I also used a 6 inch step for it for the first time, and what a workout!! I was starting to think I would shelve this one because I simply couldn't figure some of the moves out, but today everything just clicked!! I don't know if it was just doing it a few times, or doing the older ones and getting used to Cathe's choreography that way, but whatever it was, I am so happy!

Well, just wanted to share that in case other step "klutzes" out there are frustrated. Don't be!! Do some of the older videos and hang in there! Eventually it will happen! Being a self-proclaimed step klutz is why I avoided club style step classes and missed the whole craze in the late 80's and 90's! I always felt like a fool! I no longer feel that way, and I just love Rhythmic Step all over again!!

I don't have any of Cathe's older tapes, only Rhythmic Step and IMAX2 (plus some of her strength tapes) and I was so frustrated that RS was so hard for me to get the hang of. When I finally was able to get each segment down I felt so...well, triumphant!!! I still have to modify a lot (don't do the high impact stuff), but being able to DO everything and keep up with Cathe and crew, well, it was so cool!!! No you're not the only klutz out there!!!
 
Yayyy Carol! Isn't that a great feeling? But just to let you know, I've been doing Cathe's step since 1993 and I still had a couple of problems when I first got Rhythmic Step! But you're right she incorporates and builds on a lot of her other, older choreography. Sometimes you'll hear her say "you asked for this" meaning we wanted something from a previous video.

You go girl!
 
It's funny, I also started with one of Cathe's newer step tapes. Over time, I finally got most of it. Then, I wanted more Cathe steps vids, so I ordered. Lo and behold all those complicated steps were in the old versions.:+

In a way, I'm glad I started harder vids. than with the earlier ones.
