This is a rotation I have been planning for a while but it took longer than it should have to take shape. One of the things delaying it was/is Cathe Live. All I want to do anymore are Cathe Live workouts. So I decided to incorporate Cathe Live into this rotation. However, that also means … Continue reading Ripped w/ HIIT & Gym Style Rotation

Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball
Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball is another tough and excellent lower body workout. This one is along the lines of STS Mesocycle 2's lower body workouts. It is set up in trisets--3 exercises done one right after the other with little rest between. You repeat each triset 3 times. What was really surprising about … Continue reading Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball
Cathe Live: Totally Toned Legs
Holy $hit. This workout was brutal. I did not expect this workout to be so effing hard when I decided to try it. In fact, I had some mixed feelings about it. After watching the video clip, I didn't even really know if I was interested in it or not then decided--what the heck. I … Continue reading Cathe Live: Totally Toned Legs
Cathe Live: Lift it Hiit It Legs
This workout has been on my "To Do" list since I signed up for Cathe Live, but I decided this was the perfect time to do it. I am the middle of a Ripped w/ HIIT & Gym Styles rotation, and I am doing the DVD version of this workout every other week. So it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lift it Hiit It Legs
Cathe Live: Step HIIT + Upper Body Weights
Step HIIT + Upper Body Weights is the second Cathe Live that Cathe created and this one was done much better than Kickbox Bootcamp (the first Cathe Live Cathe created)--which is a great workout but full of problems, IMHO. On the Cathe Live site this is just listed as Step HIIT; however, on her forum she … Continue reading Cathe Live: Step HIIT + Upper Body Weights
Cathe Live: Lower Body Burn
Lower Body Burn is an intense lower body workout that fried my lower body. Excellent and fast paced workout. There is some cardio, lots of metabolic work so you are burning calories along with frying your lower body muscles. It starts with a long warm up, moves into cardio, then weighted strength training that is … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lower Body Burn
Cathe Live: Lean Lower Body
For anyone reading/following these Cathe Live reviews, I know it is getting old. But I LOVE this workout! I know, I know. I love them all. They are all awesome in their own way. Some I have nitpicks about, some I don't. This one? Not a single nitpick. It is perfect in every way. Lean … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lean Lower Body
Cathe Live: Upper Body with Ball
I love Cathe Live's split series workouts--especially the upper body ones, and this one is no exception. The upper body strength work is excellent, as usual. However, I do have a few nitpicks. What I don't love about this workout is the very long core section. It is a very good core section, but it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body with Ball
Cathe Live: All About Legs
All About Legs is another excellent lower body workout in the Cathe Live collection. It fried my legs (especially my inner thighs). Though different in many ways, it is similar in structure to Xtrain's Legs--especially when you do the premix that includes the bonus barre. The differences between this workout and Legs contains reasons that … Continue reading Cathe Live: All About Legs
Cathe Live: Lean & Mean Legs
Another excellent and intense lower body workout from Cathe Live. It is put together very nicely. It starts with cardio, blends into metabolic strength training, then endurance/high rep strength training and ends w/ yoga/bodyweight strength training. Very well done, too. Cathe worked each leg equally throughout the entire workout. As I mentioned in the Cathe … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lean & Mean Legs
