Hardcore Extreme is another compilation DVD from Cathe. Her compilation collections are basically DVDs that contain premixes--but they are premixes created from multiple existing workouts. And two of them in particular: Terminator and Hardcore Extreme, contain long and brutal “premixes.” Hardcore Extreme is created from 4 workouts in the Hardcore Series: Imax 3, Low Max, … Continue reading Cathe’s Hardcore Extreme

Cathe’s Low Impact Challenge
Low Impact Challenge is a step-cardio workout from Cathe’s Low Impact series. I’ll admit, I was disappointed in this workout. It was not what I had hoped for. It is true that the few workouts of Cathe’s that I don't care for are step workouts, so it’s not a huge surprise, but these days I do … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Impact Challenge
Cathe’s Terminator
The Terminator DVD is another of Cathe’s compilation DVDs. It contains 3 long workouts that are created by combining segments from 4 existing workouts from her Intensity Series: Imax 2, Cardio & Weights, Muscle Endurance and Bootcamp. So they are all basically long premixes--and they are tough. Premixes on crack. I’ll give a brief summary … Continue reading Cathe’s Terminator
Cathe’s Imax 3
Imax 3 is the third workout in Cathe’s Imax series. It is 59 minutes; 9 minute warm up, 41 minute step/HIIT/cardio, 9 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe and crew used a 6 inch step. I love the other two Imax workouts, so I was looking forward to Imax 3. I did my research and I knew that … Continue reading Cathe’s Imax 3
Cathe’s Imax 2
Imax 2 is a cardio step/HIIT workout from Cathe. Imax stands for Interval Max and this is the second Imax workout Cathe created (there are 3 in all). Imax 2 is 54 minutes; 7 minute warm up, 41 minute training time and 6 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe uses a 6 inch step. Imax 2 is also … Continue reading Cathe’s Imax 2
Cathe’s Low Max
Low Max is a 69 minute “low impact” cardio step workout from Cathe; 8 minute warm up, 53 minute cardio step work and 8 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe uses an 8 inch step in this workout and I think that height is necessary to get a good workout. The idea behind this workout is a … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Max
Cathe’s Step Blast
Step Blast is a 55 minute cardio step workout; 6 minute warm up, 45 minute cardio step and 4 minute stretch. You need an 6 inch step for this workout. Step Blast is part of a multi-workout DVD. The other workout on this DVD is Step, Pump & Jump which will be reviewed separately. I wanted … Continue reading Cathe’s Step Blast
Cathe’s Cardio Fusion
Cardio Fusion is another one of Cathe’s compilation workouts. She has four of these compilations and what they really are is premixes of 3 or more workouts. Her other compilation collections include: Terminator, Hardcore Extreme and Timesaver from the Body Blast series. Since I adore Cathe’s premixes, I love her compilation DVDs. It’s very cool, … Continue reading Cathe’s Cardio Fusion
Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Cardio
What can I say except WOW. I am stunned by this workout. It was originally released on VHS in 1998. I didn’t know they had workouts like this back in 1998. Heck, I was doing Buns of Steel and riding a stationary bike for exercise. This workout is HARD. Much harder than I expected. Maximum … Continue reading Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Cardio
Cathe’s Athletic Step
Atheltic Step is a cardio workout that is part of Cathe’s Shock Cardio series. These workouts were created to compliment STS, which is her 3 month intense weight training program. I find this series a little odd. I found the section on Cathe’s website where she initially introduced this series. It explained that the idea … Continue reading Cathe’s Athletic Step
