I would suggest Cardio Kicks (to bring kickboxing, a good lower-impact routine), Circuit Max (for a good total body circuit routine that incorporates hi/lo, kickbox, step-kickbox and step) AND Maximum Intensity Strength, a total-body strength workout that you can slice and dice up into different days.

Hi Sherri!
For the next step in Cathe's style of step aerobics, I would go with Step Heat. As for strength work, MIS is a great first choice. It's very solid, and it is also one you can grow with by just increasing the weights. you can also skip a set or two to modify if you need to. It's a classic. I would also recommend Power Hour. This one is a high rep muscular endurance workout, with the emphasis on endurance, if you know what I mean ;-)!

A series that I am totally in love with right now is Cross Train Xpress. Wow, is this amazing. You get 5 cardios (one with lower body weight circuits, 3 solid step, one with some step, and one with no step: kickbox), 1 endurance lower body, and a killer upper body routine. It's awesome and an excellent investment. Tons of variety, and it is very motivational as well, with great music, and that beautiful set, and of course, Cathe and the crew. I can't recommend this tape to a Cathe novice, though, the cardio in this series moves along very, very quickly, and you are expected to know moves from previous videos. But, having said that, it is a great choice to work up to. I'm still working on it, but it is a BLAST.

Hope this helps. Welcome to Cathe land!

Cathe answered this question quite a while ago and I copied down her answer. She suggests starting with Wedding Video, as you have, and then progressing to Mega Step Blast, then Step Jam and then Step Max. These are all a great intro to Cathe. Have fun!
