I just got done doing Low Impact Step. I have to say that it's actually a mixed impact workout. There were a good bit of hops and jumps, but she emphasized keeping it grounded if you wanted to. I added a few more jumps because I wanted the intensity. I would say that it's a solid intermediate workout. The choreography reminded me of a combo of C&W and Low Max. The music was generic instrumental music. It was fine because I was more interested in the combos. I was on a 6 inch step, but could have definitely done the workout on 8 inches. I already worked out this morning, so the 6 inches was fine. This ones a keeper & I will probably use this workout as an add on to my weight work. I haven't done the stretch or strength workout yet, but they look pretty good as well. Hope I helped some
Hey there!
I did the step workout as is, not a premix. Here's what I thought (keeping in mind that I love Cathe to death, ok?):
Good:
-A little more intricate footwork than Basic Step
-Decent length
-You can modify the moves to make them higher impact
-It's very doable on an 8" step
-Pendulums, pump repeaters, triples around the board, over-face-in-over, etc.
-There are some moves from Low Max towards the end!
Not as Good:
-The warm up song was kind of annoying
-This is really not geared toward us, so it's very easy
-Cathe is talking to a different audience so she doesn't sound quite like "our" Cathe (i.e. making it sound a lot more difficult than it is during the workout, repeatedly referring to basic moves as "tricky")
I probably won't use this one again unless I'm coming back from an injury or just don't feel like exercising that hard. But I still have to applaud SNM for the high production quality. And who can blame Cathe for appealing to a wider audience? I'll let you know how the others are if I get a chance to preview them tonight.
HTH,

I haven't even received a shipping notice yet! Boo hoo! But I didn't order till the week before the presale ended, so I'll be one of the last to get mine. That's alright, because I didn't really order them for me - DH wanted them. (Yay for DH!) But I am excited to see how Cathe and crew look in these new DVDs!

But I am excited to see how Cathe and crew look in these new DVDs! I received mine yesterday. I did preview them but haven't done them yet. Cathe & Co look beautiful as always. My initial thoughts are that my favorite of them will be the step. It will be a great workout for those days that I am not up to any of the IMAXs. It does have some of my favorite moves in the workout. I am anxious to try the weight workout with heavier weights (Cathe uses 3 lbs but she stated in an earlier e-mail that she tried the workout with heavier weights and we could use heavier weights).
All in all I am looking forward to working out to these workouts. I will let you know what I think after doing them.
Everybody have a great day,
Jo

I got mine yesterday, and I'll try the step workout today - just perfect because it's Friday and I'm pooped. I don't want to do anything intense like Imax 3, so I like having this option. I'll give you my review later.
