…so I do it at home
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
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
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
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
Cardio & Weights is another intermediate level cardio + strength workout from Cathe. It works well as a recovery workout. It’s not intense, but neither is it easy. It is a solid workout and it is a lot of fun. It also has a challenging abdominal section. This workout, in fact, seems rather reminiscent of The … Continue reading Cathe’s Cardio & Weights
Low Impact Circuit is a low impact cardio + strength workout and it was just what I needed this morning after brutalizing myself with Maximum Intensity Cardio yesterday. I really, really liked this workout a lot. First, I have to say that it is not as hard as most Cathe workouts that I own, but … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Impact Circuit
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
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
Just like Bootcamp, I am updating and rewriting the Muscle Endurance review. It was the second review I wrote for this blog (posted 4/20/12) and like I mentioned in the new Bootcamp review, I knew what I wanted, but I clearly hadn’t achieved it in those two reviews. However, I am leaving them up--so if … Continue reading Cathe’s Muscle Endurance
Interval Max is the first in Cathe’s Imax series. There are two more after this one—Imax 2 and Imax 3. These are tough workouts. They are all basically very long HIIT workouts. I really, really like this workout. It was tough and exhausting and rather impressive, considering Interval Max came out in 1999. Before I … Continue reading Cathe’s Interval Max
