#288 Hooked on PHA is another total body metabolic strength workout from Cathe Live using the PHA method. Before I go any further, here is the PHA definition I add to all PHA workouts I review. PHA stands for Peripheral Heart Action. What this means in training terms is you alternate between upper and lower body … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hooked on PHA
I was so excited when Cathe started filming her live Burn Sets workouts. I love her live workouts. I love her pandemic live workouts even more than her regular ones and now she is giving me what I really want--live strength workouts that are really challenging--using heavy dumbbells and doing fewer reps. The rep range … Continue reading Cathe Live: Burn Sets Back, Chest & Shoulders
#301 All Low Impact Kickboxing, HIIT and Core is one of Cathe's pandemic live workouts--so just Cathe, no class. I feel like Cathe does a better job demonstrating the kickboxing combos when it is just her. I really enjoyed this workout and got a great calorie burn. In the course of the workout Cathe flubbed … Continue reading Cathe Live: All Low Impact Kickboxing, HIIT and Core
#203 Lower Body Confusion was recommended to me by a blog reader when I was still subscribed to Cathe Live. I only subscribed for 2 months and was unable to get to it but since I felt compelled to purchase the download of Cathe's Live Total Body Fit and I had to spend at least … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lower Body Confusion

#189 Triple Fit is the final Cathe Live workout I will be doing for a while. My two months of Cathe Live has finally come to an end. Triple Fit was a great way to close it out. It was crazy intense! For me at least. I am more of an intermediate level exerciser and … Continue reading Cathe Live: Triple Fit

This is an excellent and intense … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Bootcamp

#244 Low Impact Cardio Compound Training is an awesome workout! Not sure exactly how to classify it but I used it as cardio conditioning rather than strength and it was intense. Short but intense. I got more intense cardio from some of the compound strength moves than I did from the cardio moves! And no … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Compound Training
#186 Oh My Glutes is an intense metabolic lower body strength workout. With a name like Oh My Glutes--how could I not sample this one? Glutes are my second favorite muscle group to work (back is my favorite) and this workout worked my glutes, along with the rest of my lower body, very well. I was working … Continue reading Cathe Live: Oh My Glutes
