Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio Kickboxing

Hi-Lo Cardio Kickboxing is another great cardio workout from Cathe. But it wasn't quite what I was expecting. When I see "Hi-Lo" I am anticipating an interval type workout where we alternate between low impact and high impact moves--maybe even some HIIT level work. That's not the way this workout plays out. The first 20 … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio Kickboxing

Be Fit in 30 Extreme

***Update--I just posted this review today, but I already received a comment (below) giving me information I did not have before I posted it. Apparently, everything on the YouTube BeFit channel is free! I had no idea. Since this was posted before I had that information, I am not changing the review post, just adding … Continue reading Be Fit in 30 Extreme

Cathe Live: Drill Max

Drill Max Live is based on Cathe's DVD Drill Max which I love but haven't done in years. It is a long workout--77 minutes, so it used to be reserved for my Saturday workout. In fact, for a long time (2012-2013 time frame) Drill Max and Body Max 1 & 2 were my Saturday workouts. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Drill Max

Cathe Live: Athletic Training

Yet another Cathe Live I was pretty excited about since the DVD Athletic Training is an awesome workout and one of my favorites. When done right, the beauty of the Cathe Live workouts that are based on her DVD workouts is that they are similar enough to retain the spirit of what you love about … Continue reading Cathe Live: Athletic Training

R.I.P.P.E.D.

R.I.P.P.E.D. is another library check out for me. I was browsing the workout DVDs and was intrigued by this one. I had never heard of the trainers. It is led/created by husband-wife team Terry and Tina Shorter. Having done a search for them now, this is their only DVD but it appears they stream workouts through … Continue reading R.I.P.P.E.D.

Cathe Live: All About Legs

All About Legs is another  excellent lower body workout in the Cathe Live collection. It fried my legs (especially my inner thighs). Though different in many ways, it is similar in structure to Xtrain's Legs--especially when you do the premix that includes the bonus barre. The differences between this workout and Legs contains reasons that … Continue reading Cathe Live: All About Legs

Cathe Live: Lean & Mean Legs

Another excellent and intense lower body workout from Cathe Live. It is put together very nicely. It starts with cardio, blends into metabolic strength training, then endurance/high rep strength training and ends w/ yoga/bodyweight strength training. Very well done, too. Cathe worked each leg equally throughout the entire workout. As I mentioned in the Cathe … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lean & Mean Legs

Cathe Live: High/Low HIIT

High/Low HIIT is a very cool workout--more so than I expected. In fact, it is the Ripped with HIIT premix you always wanted but wasn't offered on DVD. A workout that alternates the high impact/plyometric HIITs from Ripped w/ HIIT with the low impact HIITs from the same series. I LOVED it! Excellent and intense. … Continue reading Cathe Live: High/Low HIIT

Cathe Live: Metabolic Circuit Blast

Metabolic Circuit Blast is a very intense HIIT/metabolic strength training workout and I love it! Cathe Live workouts almost never disappoint! This is the 34th Cathe Live workout I have tried and so far I have loved all of them except for 3 (two I didn't like and 1 I liked but didn't love). All … Continue reading Cathe Live: Metabolic Circuit Blast

Cathe Live: Gloved Up & Ready

Gloved Up & Ready is another excellent cardio boxing + metabolic strength training workout from Cathe Live. This one is particularly fun and intense due to the structure. It is 50 minutes and since it starts with cardio boxing, I have no idea how long the warm up is; you start punching immediately and it blends … Continue reading Cathe Live: Gloved Up & Ready
