This was an excellent and unique total body cardio + strength workout. Cathe does a lot of cardio + strength workouts that focus on the lower body and they are always high impact, so I was very interested when I saw that the cardio blasts in this workout were low impact. Bonus! You get it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body

Focus T25
I have been on the fence about this program for a long time. I couldn't decide from the information and trailer that Beachbody provided whether I really wanted this program or not. That didn't stop me from following (and bidding) on it on Ebay many times over the past few years. I always lost the … Continue reading Focus T25
Cathe Live: Muscle Max with Step
As I mentioned in my review of Cathe Live Muscle Max (no step), I prepped for these two live workouts by doing the DVD version of Muscle Max first. This workout caught me by surprise--Cathe did this live just last week. But I managed to rearrange my rotation and make it fit! Muscle Max DVD … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max with Step
Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)
Muscle Max Live (no step) is based on the DVD Muscle Max. So in order to prep for this workout I did Muscle Max (DVD) on Saturday. There are a lot of differences between this workout and the DVD version but we will get to those in a minute. When I set up my workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)
Cathe Live: Total Body Reps
Total Body Reps is the other Cathe Live workout that I believe is based on her DVD High Reps workout. The other one is High Reps Total Body, which I did on Monday. To prep for both workouts I did the DVD High Reps on Saturday. They are all excellent total body strength workouts but … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Reps
Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T
Circuit S-W-E-A-T is a great little bootcamp workout. It is not Cathe's most advanced Live workout but it is still a great workout. I really enjoyed it. It is made up of 6 circuits. Each circuit starts with a cardio blast on the step. It is followed by a lower body strength exercise, then an upper body strength … Continue reading Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T
Cathe Live: High Reps Total Body
Cathe has two live workouts that, at least from looking at their titles, appear to be based on her DVD workout High Reps. So on Saturday I did the DVD High Reps, this morning I did High Reps Total Body (Live) and on Wednesday I plan to do Total Body Reps (Live). I do this … Continue reading Cathe Live: High Reps Total Body
Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
This was a surprisingly intense little metabolic workout from Popsugar and Anna Renderer! And only 20 minutes long. I was very impressed. It has another title (it flashes across the screen at the very beginning) of Cardio Strength Metabolic Mash Up, which is also appropriate. I used it this morning as a "warm up" before … Continue reading Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
Popsugar: Squat & Plank Challenge
Squat & Plank Challenge is a fun little 10 minute workout from Popsugar. It is led by Anna Renderer. As usual, I used it as an add on/finisher to a Cathe Live workout. It is not terribly challenging to be honest. It is bodyweight training but none of the moves are hard or complicated. But I … Continue reading Popsugar: Squat & Plank Challenge
Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout
Bikini HIIT is a fun little 20 minute workout from Popsugar, led by Anna Renderer. I really liked this workout a lot. It was an excellent finisher to the total body strength workout I had just completed. However, what bothers me to no end is the liberal use of the acronym "HIIT" by trainers. This is … Continue reading Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout
