* One of Cathe Friedrich'ss NEWEST DVDs (released September 2005): Beginner to Intermediate Level DVD
* Two workouts on one DVD! LOW IMPACT STEP is a complete 40-minute routine, and TOTAL BODY SCULPTING is a complete 30-minute routine
* LOW IMPACT STEP is performed on an 6 inch platform, but any step height lower than 6 inches is fine as long as your heart rate remains in its training zone for the duration of the workout
* The 40 minute LOW IMPACT STEP routine is fun and easy to follow. You'll burn fat, calories, & shape your buns & thighs while doing intense low impact step choreography mixed with challenging low impact blasts
* TOTAL BODY SCULPTING shapes & tones your muscles while burning fat and calories; the workout features a stability ball and 3 pound hand weights

A solid step-aerobics workout and a well-structured stability-ball toning program. Like all Cathe's programs, it's exceptionally well-cued and sometimes challenging. But this is specially designed for less advanced exercisers (eg Cathe slows down to fully describe a move or limits the number of muscle-fatiguing "pulses" within the toning). The cardio features faster / slower intervals and has lots of interesting-but-doable combos (eg "around the world," "rocking horse"). It's mostly low impact, but does have some higher-impact "bursts." The toning uses the ball in nearly every routine; the ball increases the range of motion and improves body positioning (eg hamstring curls with your feet on the ball). Requires 2 to 10 lb. dumbbells and a stability ball. © 2005.
