Perfect for women seeking an accessible yet effective fitness starter that sculpts and strengthens with professional guidance. ## Description This Cathe step aerobics DVD targets the beginner/intermediate exerciser, and if you're new to Cathe should be your first purchase from us. The workouts included with this DVD are: Basic Step This Cathe Friedrich workout was designed to help the beginner exerciser that is new to Cathe and to step aerobics. Basic Step is a 35-minute basic step routine that will hold the interest and truly challenge the beginner stepper for many workouts to come and is the official training DVD for all Step Company steps. While creating this workout, Cathe made sure that basic steps were introduced, taught, and put into combinations in a way that made the beginner have to focus and think, but not overwhelm them. Unlike teaching a live beginner class, where each and every workout can change to provide a further challenge to the participant, a DVD workout does not have that flexibility. For this reason, Cathe has chosen to teach the moves but not overteach them, thereby giving the beginner stepper a new challenge to work towards every time they do the workout. Here is the breakdown: The warm-up of this workout is about 6 minutes and contains basic steps, V-steps, alternating knees, repeater, corner-to-corner moves, rock horse, L-steps, A-steps, turn steps (horseshoe), leg extensions, charleston kicks, and stretches. We immediately go right into the first combination. Since this first combination comes right out of the warm-up, Cather teaches it a little longer than she typically would consider doing. This helps to establish confidence in the beginner stepper. After completing the finished product, we do a perceived exertion test. The second combo is a little more complex and will probably take the beginner a couple of tries to master. We introduce knees around the world, cha-chas on the corner, and rock horse along with some other moves. After completing combo two we do another perceived exertion test and a light cool down. This step aerobics DVD for beginners' workout concludes with a stretch. Body Fusion Cathe Friedrich's Body Fusion step aerobics video is approximately a 50-minute workout. After the warm-up, you will go into your first step aerobic segment which features moves from videos past taught with a longer breakdown and more repetition than the other two upcoming step combos since you are just freshly out of the warm-up. This segment is about 10 minutes long. Now your first weight segment will do squats with overhead presses and lunges with side and front lateral raises for approximately 5 minutes (light breaks in between). Step combo two is a little more complex than one but still on the level of intermediate. It again is about 10 minutes long and features moves from other videos. Weight segment two features lunges off the back of the step and then later bicep curls standing on the floor. The biceps curls end with a little balance option of doing them while standing on one leg. Step Combo #3, totaling about 8 minutes, is the same level of complexity as two but has more intensity added. Weight segment three includes deadrows and deadlifts and then moves onto dips and push-ups before completing with a stretch. Abs: 10 Minute Core Conditioning This core workout features a stability ball as well as intermediate level abdominal and core exercises. Upper Body Sculpt: 20 Minute Upper Body Conditioning This workout will tone all of the major muscles in the Upper Body: Back, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Biceps. A stability ball, light hand weights, and a tubing strap will be used in this workout. Heavier weight can be substituted if preferred. Lower Body Sculpt: 20 Minute Lower Body Conditioning This workout will tone all of the major muscles in the Lower Body: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes, Buttocks, Outer and Inner thigh, and Calves. A stability ball, light hand weights, and a tubing strap will be used in this workout. Heavier weight can be substituted if preferred. ## Features - Basic Step Workout Format: - Body Fusion Workout Format: - Core Strengthening: 10-Minute Ab Workout - Upper Body Toning: 20-Minute Workout - Lower Body Sculpting: 20-Minute Workout ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00093GWKK | | Brand Name | Cathe | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (313) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Date First Available | September 24, 2006 | | Item Package Dimensions L X W X H | 7.4 x 5.43 x 0.67 inches | | Material | ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | Package Weight | 0.09 kg | | Suggested Users | All Ages, Unisex | ## Product Details - **Format:** DVD - **Genre:** Exercise & Fitness - **UPC:** 807337006398 ## Images ![Cathe Friedrich's Basic Step + Body Fusion Step Aerobics Workout DVD For Women - This Is A Great Starter Video For Beginners To Learn How To Do A Cathe Step Workout - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oA4hcSGvL.jpg) ![Cathe Friedrich's Basic Step + Body Fusion Step Aerobics Workout DVD For Women - This Is A Great Starter Video For Beginners To Learn How To Do A Cathe Step Workout - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TFtUNCIZL.jpg) ![Cathe Friedrich's Basic Step + Body Fusion Step Aerobics Workout DVD For Women - This Is A Great Starter Video For Beginners To Learn How To Do A Cathe Step Workout - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YK8ZS3F2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cathe- Basic Step and Body Fusion *by on Reviewed in the United States February 24, 2009* As an avid "come back artist" I am once again coming back from not being nearly as active as I was a few years ago-running marathons, cycling double centuries- or maybe that was more than a few years ago, how time flies. I found Cathe online and I believe she has by far the best exercise dvd series available. She is a true expert in fitness and it shows.As far as her step dvds are concerned she is fairly dancy and at times very hard to follow. I started out with one of her more advanced dvds and decided to back track and get her basic step in order to find out if this would make it easier for me to follow her more advanced step dvds. This basic step dvd with the body fusion is in itself a great workout, and yes, it has made it somewhat easier for me to follow her more advanced moves.I highly recommend any of Cathe's fitness dvds and her Basic Step and Body Fusion is ideal for the beginner, and a good workout for any level of fitness.Cathe Friedrich : Basic Step ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic Doesn't Mean Wimpy *by on Reviewed in the United States September 16, 2007* Occasionally I'll try small sections of Cathe's workouts on FitTV. But I'm never able to do one from start to finish. But based on the reviews here, I thought I'd give this set a try. The step moves are a lot more basic than Cathe's usual routines, but the even better news is that I definitely get that complete Cathe Friedrich workout that I've been wanting. I mean, seriously, have you seen Cathe and those women who work out with her? Give me their bodies any day. Even though I've been stepping for more than a year and added strength training in the last six months, when I challenged myself to do the entire two hours and ten minutes of routines on this DVD, I wasn't sore the next day, I was sore within a FEW HOURS of completing it. For me, that meant I'd worked unused areas harder than I had in a long time and so I felt I definitely got my money's worth with this DVD.Although the 30-minute Basic Step routine is almost too easy to give you much of a workout, you can easily combine it with the 50-minute Body Fusion circuit workout (three step routines, three weight routines) and/or the bonus routines - a 20-minute upper body, a 20-minute lower body and a 10-minute abs routine. The 50-minute Body Fusion workout is plenty on its own. I always go for the gusto and do them all and feel the thrill of victory when I'm done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ i like it! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 3, 2008* i have been stepping for quite a while, though i have had my starts and stops. after i had the money and will to do so, i invested in an official reebok step and was looking for videos to get me back into it. this was one that i picked after doing research on amazon. i knew nothing about cathe, but i liked what i had read.this video was easy to follow and no doubt got me winded. i loved that i could pop it in and feel confident that i knew what i was doing in no time....just what i needed! her cues are good and the music isn't bad. and at 25 minutes, the basic step portion of the dvd is perfect for a mom with a restless 3 year old. this dvd makes it possible for me to be true to my exercise goals. i did find the warm -up lacking, however. i curb this by adding a little more time to my own warm up. my only other complaint is the "knees around the world" segment of the routine. at first, it was helpful that she went over it so much so i could "just feel so good about it" but after i did, it becomes a drag to receive never ending instruction on how to do a move that i don't find to be rocket science to begin with. this is a small complaint, though, considering how much this dvd has done for me, namely, continuing to get stronger by doing this and other videos and staying true to my goals. p.s. i haven't tried the body fusion parts of the video yet, so i have nothing to report about it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cathe Friedrich's Basic Step + Body Fusion Step Aerobics Workout DVD For Women - This Is A Great Starter Video For Beginners To Learn How To Do A Cathe Step Workout - Kathy Smith Timeless: Step Aerobics Workout - Yes4All Adjustable Workout Aerobic Exercise Step Platform Health Club Size with 4 Adjustable Risers Included and Extra Risers Options --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/13727836-cathe-friedrichs-basic-step-body-fusion-step-aerobics-workout-dvd](https://www.desertcart.in/products/13727836-cathe-friedrichs-basic-step-body-fusion-step-aerobics-workout-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
