Cathe’s Body Max

Edited 12/28/12 (scroll to the end for edit) BodyMax is a 91 minute cardio + strength workout by Cathe. It’s an oldy, too--2001, and apparently it was originally released on VHS. I got it on a DVD that has 3 of her older workouts on it: Power Hour, Maximum Intensity Strength and BodyMax. The other … Continue reading Cathe’s Body Max

Cathe’s Afterburn

Edited 8/18/12 Afterburn is a 54 minute cardio + strength workout; 5 minute warm up, 44 minute training period and 5 minute cool down/stretch. What can I say about this workout but wow. There is so much about this workout that compelled me to purchase it. First, the title. Afterburn. Isn’t that what we all … Continue reading Cathe’s Afterburn

Cathe’s Athletic Training

Athletic Training is a very eclectic cardio + strength workout and though I loved it, I can how see it will not appeal to everyone. More than other instructor's workouts that I've done, Cathe’s workouts tend to require a lot more equipment. I’m okay with that. I make substitutions where I have to, but I also … Continue reading Cathe’s Athletic Training

Cathe’s To the Max

Cathe’s newest To the Max is another super intense workout. Her other new one is Crossfire, which I’ve already reviewed (and is my current favorite cardio workout). To the Max doesn’t displace Crossfire as my favorite, but I do love it. I’m not entirely sure whether it is supposed to be a cardio workout that … Continue reading Cathe’s To the Max

Cathe’s Muscle Max

Muscle Max is a 68 minute strength workout by Cathe Friedrich. 4 minute warm up, 59 minute training time and 5 minute stretch. 10 minutes of the training time is abdominal work. Although the initial workouts that got me hooked on Cathe were strength workouts, due to the fact I did 90 days of Body … Continue reading Cathe’s Muscle Max

Cathe’s Cardio Core Circuit

Cardio Core Circuit is a 51 minute cardio workout; 5 minute warm up, 39 minute training time and 7 minute cool down. Another amazing, intense cardio workout that I am in love with! Has it displaced Crossfire as my favorite? Not quite—but close! The last 3 Cathe cardio workouts I’ve done: Crossfire, Cardio Supersets and … Continue reading Cathe’s Cardio Core Circuit

TurboFire Greatest HIITs

Greatest HIITs is a short high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. It is part of the TurboFire workout program created and led by Chalene Johnson and sold by Beachbody. Unlike Insanity’s Fast and Furious 20 minute bonus workout, Greatest HIITs is not a good example of what to expect with the TurboFire program. Yes, TurboFire … Continue reading TurboFire Greatest HIITs
