Mega Step Blast

an older cathe workout mega step blast seems more simple in choreography IF you compare to her other workouts. although its more simple there are some tricky spots of turning around the step and not seeing the tv. you really have to listen to those cues,which are exceptional in this workout. a down point though is that you must know cathe's names of the moves in order to get it down correcting. what some call a turn step she calls a horseshoe, some just don't know that. it starts out with a repetititve but simple warm up with some light stretching at about 6-7 minutes. then it moves to 3 step sections ranging from 12-15 minutes. the first two are typical cardio combos. she breaks them down just enough so you can learn the moves but no enough that you are working to slowly. there are about 2-3 combos in each section. she only takes it from the top in those sections,once you are done you don't see them again. the third section,however, is a bit more emphasis on the power blasts for the legs. this is the section i was having trouble with mainly b/c i was tired and this moved fast and tired my legs quickly. she also does this section with the step vertical, which may make moves a little more awkward but defiently a break from the ordinary. then its back to normal for cool down and stretch which seem short. the cool down was a bit repetitive but it was only 7 minutes while the stretch was a very short 3minutes. might suggest supplementing more stretching in your day after this.

being this is in the early-mid 90's the music and clothing are said of the times. the big poofy hair and whooping and the club pop music will all give some the nostalgic feeling, and maybe others a wave of fear knowning that some trends do come back LOL. overall though its not a cheesy video set wise and the clothing is basic leotards in solid bright colors(as opposed to some that are multi bright colors and atricous), just have to laugh at the thong back on those things. good thing they were all wearing white shorts underneath but gosh that had to be uncomfortable LOL.

this was truly a gem of a find thanks to a generous vidiot. i do like older workouts on occasion especially if the routine stands the test of time. this would qualify as that, now if only she would consider putting it on dvd with her wedding workout that would be awesome!
