Tonight I did Cathe's Low Impact Step on a 6" step for the first half, and 4" step for the second half (45 min. workout). I know this is supposed to be one of Cathe's more easier workouts, and I guess the choreography could be considered a little more basic...but it ain't easy! I always get a good sweat going with this workout.

Not sure what my problem was this morning. I woke up okay, but when I went to do my workout, I was stumbling around and not into it. I couldn't begin to do any propulsions or anything. I did do the entire workout and ended up good and sweaty, but the entire time I was thinking: Maybe I shouldn't do step workouts so early in the morning! The thing is, Cathe's Low Impact Step is one of her "easy" ones, and it's relatively short (40 minutes). Usually I love it. Oh well...maybe it was just an "off" day.

WORKOUT: Cathe Low Impact Step (40 min.) - did first 1/2 on 6" step, second 1/2 on 4" step. This is such a nice workout. It's totally doable, but still really challenging. I like to do the second half on a 4" step because it really does get intense with cardio blasts.
