What's your go to low key Cathe dvd?

[dawn9222]

Ever have those days where you just need something low key, not Hiit not high impact and really intense? My body must be fighting something, I'm a little lethargic, but I know i need to move, I skipped around on the RWH lower body this morning, jumping was too much for me. I would have loved a really low key step or something like that? Does anyone have a go to when you are feeling like you are lacking energy, but need to move? Something that you don't have to think about too much? This is where having a treadmill or eliptical would be nice...

LIS Slide & Glide is real low key to me. Hope you feel better soon.

Ohhh I'll check that one out, thanks!!

RwH low impact 30 minutes--- It does feel low key when I am really well conditioned

I know how you feel! I have days like that too. I like Low Impact step + total body sculpting (an older one for sure), or Low impact circuit, or Low Max. I guess it depends on what you want to do (cardio, toning or both) & how much time you want to spend working out. I always keep some easier ones in my library for this exact reason. If you like Michelle Dozois....her Bodyfit 360 are good for this too. You get up and get moving but you're not sweating your face off!

Thanks girls!!!!!!!!!

LIS Cardio Supersets...the main workout, the step bonus, or both together, depending on how ambitious you end up feeling. It's great cardio, but nothing too crazy.

Basic Step, which I sometimes do the step combo's twice for a longer work out because it's only 30 mins.
Body fusion is on the dvd too it's 50 mins. I also turn too Low Impact Step it's 40 mins. and a pre-mix on Low Max of all step no intervals which is 44 mins.

Dawn,

I second the vote for Cardio Supersets. Hope you fight off whatever is invading!

I also like Low Impact Step for a low-key workout, either the main workout or the lower body blast premix. Also the step from Cardio & Weights, or just the step from Step Jump & Pump. Those are my go-to workouts when I'm recovering from being sick.

 

[Katerchen]

I like High Step Circuit as a recovery workout with 8, 10, and 12 lbs dumbbells.

Thanks for the question and thanks to those who made suggestions. I like the suggestions above and will keep a list for reference.

Today I wasn't feeling 100% (after doing STS Disk 28 last night - ohh DOMS talking to me!) and so I did Low Intensity Step from 4-Day Split. This is Premix 1 - just 37 min. It was super fun, perked me up and was really easy, cardio-wise. Cathe and crew only use 1 riser, stay low impact and only do 3 combos, so it's very doable. The music is cheerful and there is a nice stretch at the end. Definitely made me feel good without feeling 'spent'.

I, too, go for LIS Cardio Supersets - The Step Express premix. Jessica Smith's Stride or Power Walk workouts too. I do not have Low Impact Circuit or Slide & Glide (yet).

Feel better Dawn!

I also do some of the earlier Cathe step dvds. You can lower your height depending on how you feel. Cardio Fusion is another one for me on less intense days. Plus I feel like all her kickboxing videos can be modified. And I love most of the music and routines on those.

 

[NY25]

I usually go with any of the kickboxing workouts - whether the full thing or one of the timesaver pre-mixes. They're usually not too jumpy, and the fun and music factors make them get me engaged. My real go to when I'm super low energy is MMA: Kickbox - it's definitely the easiest of all of them, but I'm still getting a workout. After that I really like the premixes on Rockout Knockout!! And the timesaver kickbox on 4DS. Every time - I'm tired, I pop that one in knowing it is over in under 40 minutes and that is a great and super-fun workout!! (hmm - maybe that will be tonight's workout!)

 

[amron]

I like step moves, cardio superset, 4DS cardio for lower key workouts

Great suggestions! I have felt under the weather the last couple of days from either allergies from all the wind we've had, or finally caught my husbands cold. I pulled out Step Moves and it was perfect, not too intense, easy to modify and enough choreography to distract me from not feeling 100 percent. If I'm feeling blue I usually pull out Cardio and Weights, it is hard not to smile at the end with "Buttercup" though I think my husband would disagree

 

[Stacy]

Mine has always been Cardio & Weights! The Buttercup song always makes me smile at the end. Depending on what I'm looking for, I sometimes will just do the Cario only premix or the Cardio and Compound Weights only premix.

I love all the suggestions here but would really love it if Cathe made a few dedicated low intensity low impact workouts - I know we can modify but would be great not to have to for a change. If you're keen on the idea, show your support by adding to this thread in the Suggestions forum:-
