#197 Cardio Kickboxing & Cardio Barre is an intense cardio workout. Though "barre" is in the title, you are not doing any real barre work. The barre (or chair back) is more of a balance assist for the last 8:30 minutes of the workout--which is just more intense cardio. The warm up is all low … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Kickboxing & Cardio Barre
#238 PHA Plus Cardio Blasts is another workout in Cathe's growing collection of PHA workouts. This workout is different from her other PHA workouts. It is more like a bootcamp workout but it still uses the PHA principle. PHA stands for Peripheral Heart Action. What this means in training terms is you alternate between upper and … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA Plus Cardio Blasts
#232 Kick, Box & Bags is another fun cardio kickboxing class from Cathe Live. It is made up of punching and kicking drills alternated with cardio bursts. There are also a few easy to follow combos. This is also one of Cathe's lower impact kickboxing workouts though near the end she adds some higher impact … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kick, Box & Bags
#243 In the Ring is another fun cardio kickboxing class from Cathe Live. I always enjoy Cathe's cardio kickboxing workouts and this one is no exception. It is shorter than most (only 41 minutes) but it is intense. It is a high impact workout and no modifications are shown--not by Cathe and I did not … Continue reading Cathe Live: In the Ring
#255 Kickboxing Plus Core is another excellent live cardio kickboxing workout from Cathe. Cathe did a great job in this workout of giving you cardio and conditioning. The punch drills at the heavy bags were pretty intense and really fatigued my arms and shoulders. And I don't own a heavy bag! I was just wearing … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickboxing Plus Core
#160 Fit Tower Live is apparently a road trip workout and it is a full house--there are tons of exercisers! I think Cathe said 106 people. This is a Live version of her Fit Tower Bootcamp DVD, which I like much better than this. In fact, I didn't like this workout at all--it was too busy … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Live
#272 Love Me Some Cardio Kickboxing is a fun live cardio kickboxing workout. I really enjoyed it. Not sure if I am going to buy the download but I might. In this workout we get some eye candy! Cathe even introduces him. His name is Nate and he is in the back of the class … Continue reading Cathe Live: Love Me Some Cardio Kickboxing
Step Sync is a cardio step workout from Cathe's Step Boss Series. The other two DVDs in this series are PHA 3 and Imax 4. Cathe also created a Quick Start Users Guide to accompany this series. My husband pre-ordered the entire series for me as a gift--I mention this in case readers are wondering … Continue reading Step Boss: Step Sync
IMAX 4 is part of Cathe's new Step Boss series. The other two DVDs in this series are Step Sync and PHA 3. Cathe also created a Quick Start Users Guide to accompany this series. This DVD contains the main workout plus an Ab Bonus and an Extended Chair Stretch. These bonuses are included in the … Continue reading Step Boss: IMAX 4
Focus: Weightless is a bodyweight strength and cardio workout from Tracie Long. That must be what the title represents (but I don't know this for sure)--strength work without weights. No equipment is needed for this workout except an exercise mat and Tracie claims you will work every muscle in your body in the course of … Continue reading Focus: Weightless (Volume 6)
