I was excited to try Cathe's two newest Live bootcamp workouts--this one, Upper Body Bootcamp, and Lower Body Bootcamp, which I will be doing tomorrow. From the previews, they look pretty comprehensive. Having done Upper Body I can say it is a very fast-paced workout, so you are getting your heart rate up while doing it. Not … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body Boot Camp

Cathe Live: Love Those Legs
I've been so focused on Cathe's Workout Blender that I've been neglecting Cathe Live, but I decided this week, I would play catch-up with Cathe's newest Live workouts. This morning I started with Love Those Legs. It is a short but great little workout. I like this workout for several reasons. First, it is a very good … Continue reading Cathe Live: Love Those Legs
Cathe Live: Upper Body w/ Core Express
Upper Body w/ Core Express was a surprisingly intense upper body workout for being so short. With the proper weights, it worked my entire upper body very well. The core work is also pretty intense. Overall, an excellent live workout that did the job the title advertised and did it very well. This is one … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body w/ Core Express
Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio HIIT
Low Impact Cardio HIIT is a short but intense and effective cardio workout from Cathe Live. I really enjoyed this workout. Cathe put together some of my favorite low impact exercises in this workout. I feel like I got an excellent workout. The only equipment needed is set of light dumbbells. Cathe uses 5 pound … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio HIIT
Cathe Live: Body Works
Body Works is an interesting Cathe Live workout. I did like it, but I have noticed something about the most recent Live workouts I've been doing. They are not terribly intense. They seem to be more intermediate level workouts. I do enjoy them and I am still getting good workouts but I don't feel like … Continue reading Cathe Live: Body Works
Cathe Live: Rock Body Boot Camp
Another bootcamp workout from Cathe Live! I really enjoyed this workout but it definitely was not her most intense. I did use it for a metabolic cardio day workout but even the cardio/metabolic aspect wasn't super intense. But it was still a good workout and worked well for a Sunday when I normally try to … Continue reading Cathe Live: Rock Body Boot Camp
Cathe Live: Circuit Works Plus Barre & Core
Circuit Works Plus Barre & Core is another fun, effective and excellent workout that is unique to Cathe Live. You get it all in this workout: cardio, barre, core and total body strength training. Now, I will say it isn't the most thorough strength training workout and, because of the brisk pace, you cannot lift … Continue reading Cathe Live: Circuit Works Plus Barre & Core
Cathe Live: Body Blast Boot Camp
Body Blast Boot Camp appears to be based on the Strong & Sweaty series Boot Camp workout. That is an excellent bootcamp workout and so is this one. It is intense and fun. I like to use these bootcamp workouts more as metabolic cardio workouts rather than strength training, so I used the same weight … Continue reading Cathe Live: Body Blast Boot Camp
Cathe Live: Strong & Lean Reps
Yet another excellent total body strength workout from Cathe Live. There are so many of them! Due to "reps" being in the title of this workout, I knew ahead of time this would be a high rep/endurance level workout. So I previewed it and created a workout card in advance so I would be prepared … Continue reading Cathe Live: Strong & Lean Reps
Cathe Live: Keep the Cardio Coming
Keep the Cardio Coming is an intense all cardio workout. And for a Cathe Live cardio workout, it is long. It is even long for Cathe's more current DVD cardio workouts! Cathe used to do lots of hour long DVD cardio workouts (some even longer than an hour--Maximum Intensity Cardio), but those days are over unless … Continue reading Cathe Live: Keep the Cardio Coming
