Full Backcover Description
This highly-contagious all-step workout will have you tapping your toes from the warm up to the cool down. It features a high-energy, rocking sounds track along with super-fun choreography that keeps the impact low, but the fun factor and intensity way high! You’ll love its dancey flow and how slightly-varied-twists on familiar choreography gives it a completely new feeling. If you’re not into dancey chorography, though, that’s not a problem! A bonus step circuit segment is included that’s all about endurance and athleticism and has nothing to do with mambos or cha chas. This is something for everyone!
As an added bonus, this joint-friendly workout burns major calories and body fat, too! What more could you ask for?

Certified instructor description:
A non-stop program that smoothly intermixes on-step and off-step movements (e.g. four counts on and four counts off the bench). From the warm-up to the stretch, Cathe keeps you moving fast, having fun ... and burning fat. You get four diverse combinations. The first three are jam-packed with basic step movements; the fourth section features slightly more choreographed patterns. They're all quick-paced, but easy to follow, because Cathe cues ahead and always tells you what to do (“remember, it's the outside leg that starts”). She finishes with an intense blast that is pure athleticism — lots of kicks, repeaters and squats-off-the-board. DVD also includes a "bonus" step-aerobics/dumbbell-toning interval segment (21 minutes). Requires a step. ©2011.
