Cathe's Step, Jump & Pump and Step Blast |
 One of the best |
| This dvd is one of my favorites. While the workouts themselves are tough (but FUN!), the dvd itself is superior in its adaptability. You can select loud music, regular music, or just vocals. You can mix/match the workouts, customize your own, or select one of the pre-mixes to adjust your workout to your level and time availability. I love the combination of aerobic and strength exercises because it really includes everything I need. And as always, Cathe is friendly and encouraging without being bubbly and annoying. - posted by Tauni on 1/31/2010 |

 Step, Jump and Pump |
| I detest most step workouts with a passion, so I really didn't like this one either. I mean, all you're doing is step, tap, throw out a leg, step, tap, bend a leg and then turn around and step, tap, squat, step, tap, throw your arms out and step tap! Repeat for an hour! I'm more of the kickboxing type. I like to imagine I'm kicking some bad dude's butt all over the place! POW! TAKE THAT! However, I love Cathe and her videos are easy to follow and adjust. I found this to be quite challenging and I like how aerobics and weights are combined, but I just hate step workouts! So, although this wasn't my thing, I have to rate it high because it is a great video! - posted by Jen on 7/29/2009 |

| great workout and adaptable |
| I liked this workout but since I dont own a barbell, I used dumbells and I can't do the hi aerobics but adapted to just using low impact. The only thing I didn't like about this dvd was Cathe constantly looks off to the side to read cues. It was very annoying. She usually is good about not doing that, but during the weight portion, that is all she does is look off to the side for cueing. - posted by Marsha on 2/7/2009 |

| One of my favorite Cathe dvds! |
| I love the step moves in both Step Blast and Step Jump and Pump. I also love all the cardio premixes I can do amongst the two. Cathe is truly shines with her choreography in these workouts! - posted by Renee on 1/13/2009 |

| Excellent for Intermediate/Advanced |
| Like a lot of the other reviewers, I consider myself to be a long-time fan of Cathe's workouts. I took a break from using this DVD for a few months and just recently brought it back into rotation. If you're an intermediate level exerciser who has "hit your plateau" and isn't seeing much results from other videos, I HIGHLY recommend any of Cathe's DVDs. I'm particularly fond of Step Blast and also the Legs and Glutes DVD. Excellent cueing, as usual, which helps when you're trying to get a hang of the choreography. Once you've tried it a couple of times, it becomes second nature. Cathe makes exercising feel like its, dare I say, fun! Not to mention, rewarding too. - posted by Shawna on 8/21/2008 |

| WOW! |
| This DVD is so much fun! I love the music, it really gets me moving. Both of these workouts are fantastic on their own, but the pre-mixes just make this DVD so worth the money. I highly recommend this DVD if you really want to kick it up a notch! - posted by Aaron on 7/19/2008 |

| Great workout! |
| I'm new to Cathe and this was my first workout by a Cathe video. They're not kidding when they say it's advanced! I'm pretty fit and have been using the FIRM program for years, but this workout was the hardest one I've ever tried. The steps are tricky, but once you master them, you can get an awesome workout! I sweated like I've never sweated before and can't wait to try some of her other videos. - posted by Laura on 5/24/2008 |

| Disappointed |
| First off let me say I love Cathe she is one of the best instructors out there today but this was not one of her best...I do cardio for about 48--60min four times a week and do weight training three times a week. I consider myself an advanced exerciser and the cardio wasn't what I was expecting, it was really hard to get by heart rate up so I just started making up my own routine halfway through. This dvd for me was boring and repetitive. This is the first DVD of hers that I absolutely do not like. - posted by Angel on 4/12/2008 |

| Wonderful |
| I just can never say enough about Cathe. Have all her video workouts and love them all. She is a wonderful instructor and knows how to work you. As always her videos are a killer and will make you sweat and tone you. This one I really like because it has the step, floor, and toning all in one workout. Great variety and will get you the results you are wanting. - posted by Laci on 10/12/2007 |

| Awesome Quality Workouts |
| I'm a loyal Cathe follower and have done many of her workouts. These two are awesome! What's great is that she integrates familiar moves but doesn't make her workouts redundant and boring. They are actually fun! Step Jump and Pump is really unique because of its variety of step, high low, weights, and low impact. On top of that, I think it's the funnest aerobic workout I've done to date. You feel so energized doing it and her music is always great. The other step workout is also really fun and though I need to work on it a little more, I loved it and I am looking forward to mastering "The Challenge" at the end. It gives you a great goal to work towards. I started Cathe videos with no aerobic experience and dedicated myself to learning the steps and the terms. It has paid off because my body is totally reshaped. It's the first time EVER that I have upper body strength and toning. As a previous devout runner, I have learned the benefits through Cathe of all over aerobic exercise. These two workouts are a great example of Cathe's quality workouts. I strongly recommend them. - posted by Nicole on 5/28/2007 |
