Push Pull is the second half of a Cathe multi-workout DVD. The other workout on this DVD is Supersets which has already been reviewed on this blog. It is interesting because Push Pull is actually a superset workout, too—opposing muscle group supersets, so it’s nice that they were combined on the same DVD. I really, … Continue reading Cathe’s Push Pull
Slow and Heavy is another of Cathe’s amazing multi-workout DVDs. I’m going to review some of her multi-workout DVDs differently now that I’m doing her split workouts. If it is a DVD that contains split workouts, I’ll review all of the splits in one post since they are designed to be used in conjunction with … Continue reading Cathe’s Slow and Heavy

It is one of those special gifts Cathe gives you—two full workouts on one DVD. The other workout on this DVD is Kick, Punch & Crunch, which has … Continue reading Cathe’s Legs & Glutes
High Reps is another strength workout by Cathe. The focus of this one is muscle endurance. I really enjoyed this workout and found it surprisingly tough--tougher than I expected, actually. I was already pretty sore from Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Strength, so not sure if that had anything to do with how challenging I found High … Continue reading Cathe’s High Reps
Maximum Intensity Strength is a solid old school Cathe strength workout, circa 1998. It is the third workout on the Power Hour + workout DVD that contains 3 workouts. Body Max and Power Hour have already been reviewed on this blog. Maximum Intensity Strength looks dated, but it is an excellent strength workout. It is … Continue reading Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Strength
