Which DVD to get?

Cathlete
Of all the beginner/intermediate DVD's that Cathe has come out with which would you all recommend? I am going to preorder the new DVD's, and I want to get one of these for pregnancy as well. I think that the Basic Step + Body Fusion would be best, but I'd like your opinions. Also, it seems from reading the workouts everyone is doing that it would be worthwhile to get the Cardio and Weights DVD (I have the video) for the premixes.

Thanks for any help. I feel like all I am these days is full of questions!
 
Hi there--Basic Step+Body Fusion would be good for pregnancy. Her new DVD's--the beginner ones--Low Impact Step and Total Body Conditioning are what I am really enjoying, however. They have some really good premixes too.

I love Cardio and Weights while pregnant as I find it easy to modify.

I've just started working out again after 3 months of feeling horrible!! Because I took such a long break, I'm easing back into exercise. I have been using Basic Step and the new Low Impact Cardio DVD's this past week.

Here's a rotation that Cathe posted when she introduced the Basic Step + Body Fusion DVD. I've been doing LIC on the Basic Step days, and adding Basic Step to the Add On only days.

After 2 weeks of this light routine, I'm going to start doing more. And like you, I'm thinking pregnancy is a good excuse to get Cardio and Weights :)

Hey Pennstater. Thanks for posting this for me. Unfortunately I have had a miscarriage. Hopefully though I will be able to try again soon and this will be a lot of help. I hope all your pregnancies go well. I am still checking in, so I can educate myself and be ready for next time.

Good luck everyone! You all are truly inspirational!!
