Cathe Live: For the Love of Cardio

For the Love of Cardio is a very fun Cathe Live workout. She doesn't talk about the title but apparently she is assuming she is collecting everyone's favorite cardio moves into one workout. And maybe she is! It is a fun workout. It is structured into 6 long combos that appear to be theme based. … Continue reading Cathe Live: For the Love of Cardio

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

The Firm: Slim Solutions Yoga

While digging through my box of old Firm workouts I came across this one: Slim Solutions Yoga. I don't even remember getting this workout tho I have the equipment that came with it in my workout room (a yoga block and a strap). Since I now try to do yoga every Sunday, I decided that … Continue reading The Firm: Slim Solutions Yoga

The Firm: Advanced Cardio Blast

The Firm was the series that originally got me addicted to home DVD workouts. They challenged me but didn't kill me. I haven't done them in many years however because my fitness level has increased and they stopped challenging me. However, recently I've become a little nostalgic and have been wanting to revisit not only … Continue reading The Firm: Advanced Cardio Blast

Cathe Live: Total Body Barbell & Bands

Total Body Barbell & Bands was another excellent (and long) total body strength workout. Cathe doesn't have too many long workouts on Cathe Live but the ones she has are challenging and thorough. I really like the set up of this one, too. She starts you out with lower body then hits the majority of … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Barbell & Bands

Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio & Core

Hi-Lo Cardio & Core is an interesting workout. I guess I liked it, but I'm not positive I will ever return to it. Maybe by the time I finish writing this review I will have decided. It was a good workout, but maybe not as intense as some of her other cardio workouts. The title … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio & Core

Cathe Live: Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills

Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills--that title is quite a mouthful. And an awesome workout! I loved it! When Cathe announced it, I wanted to do it right away, but I have these rotations I do... and I was in the middle of one... but I managed … Continue reading Cathe Live: Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills

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: Bootcamp Blast Off

Bootcamp Blast Off is a fun total body cardio + strength workout.  It is set up in 7 rounds; each round consists of cardio, compound/metabolic strength, lower body strength and upper body strength. Though Cathe does point out a few times that you are hitting every muscle in the body--that's not really true. The back … Continue reading Cathe Live: Bootcamp Blast Off

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
