I have been kind of depressed the past week or so. My Apple TV was having buffering problems and I was unable to do any Cathe Live workouts. Not only was it wasting my time in the mornings as I tried to get it to work but it was screwing up my workout rotation. After … Continue reading Cathe Live: Barbell Upper Body

Cathe Live: Strong Upper Body Express
For such a short strength workout, Strong Upper Body Express is excellent. As usual, Cathe does a thorough job hitting every muscle group and fatiguing them really well. By the end, she pretty much burned out nearly every muscle group in the upper body. It is pretty fast paced, too--the express part, I suppose. She … Continue reading Cathe Live: Strong Upper Body Express
Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)
The (upper body) in the blog post title is not part of the actual title Cathe gave this workout; I just added it for my own information. It is a Cathe Live workout called Cardio & Weights and I love it. Yet another excellent cardio + strength workout from Cathe and I especially love that … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)
Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step
This was a super tough Cathe Live workout! It wasn't exactly what I expected but it definitely fried my legs. Due to the title I was expecting the workout to alternate between cardio and strength but that's not how it played out at all. It started with cardio then went to very intense metabolic work … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step
Killer Arms & Back
Killer Arms & Back is the 4rd (and final) workout collection in Jillian Michael's Killer series. The other 3 workout collections in the series are Killer Abs, Killer Buns & Thighs and Killer Body. This DVD contains 3 approximately 30 minute workouts that work the entire upper body--not just the arms and back. And since this … Continue reading Killer Arms & Back
ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast
Chiseled Lower Body Blast is a great workout. I loved it. It is one of my favorite types of workouts--cardio + strength in which strength work is alternated with cardio blasts. However, it is part of the ICE fitness program and ICE stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme, so this is not as intense as Cathe's … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast
ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox
Another great and surprising workout from Cathe's ICE program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox was more intense than I was expecting it to be. I would say this is even more intense than Cathe's Rockout Knockout. I didn't think it would be either. The long warm up was rather low key and contained zero … Continue reading ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox
ICE: Chiseled Upper Body
Chiseled Upper Body is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like all of the other ICE workouts I've done so far, I have automatically lifted heavier weights than Cathe to get the most out of the workouts. This one seemed obvious. The weight of the dumbbells Cathe used seems to be the primary way … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Upper Body
ICE: To the Mat: Legs & Glutes
To the Mat: Legs & Glutes is part of Cathe's ICE (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme) program. It is very different from her other lower body workouts. She frequently includes mat work in her lower body workouts, but she has never had an entire workout devoted to nothing but mat work. And it was painful. I am … Continue reading ICE: To the Mat: Legs & Glutes
ICE: Metabolic Total Body
Metabolic Total Body is an excellent metabolic strength training workout. It is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like Low Impact Sweat, I didn't find this workout as easy as I expected. The "intermediate" is deceiving. However, I did automatically lift heavier than Cathe on every single exercise. That is one of the aspects … Continue reading ICE: Metabolic Total Body
