Cathe High Step Challenge - Thoughts


High Step Challenge is a 68 minute circuit workout that uses the High Club Step, various weighted dumbbells, a band, and barbell.
The circuit pattern is not consistent but essentially consist of cardio, 2 lower body sets, and 2 upper body sets. Sometimes Cathe would alternate the lower body and upper body segments and sometimes she does them back to back. There are five circuits total.
What stood out most to me in this workout is the pace. The workout moves and there is not much time for rest. Seriously, I barely had enough time to get a drink of water. The time between sets is taken up with getting prep for the next exercise. There is only minimum recovery after the cardio sets.
Speaking of the the cardio sets, they feature a mixture of different types of cardio: High impact, step, and kickboxing.
Also there is lots of band work in the upper and lower body segments.
After the last circuit, there is an intense ab workout followed by a stretch.
I don't do this workout a lot. It's not that I don't like it or the music isn't good. There is just more workouts that I like better than this one.
Still a solid workout - 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
