Cathe’s Turbo Barre
What a deceptively painful workout. I am nearing the end of my new-to-me Cathe workouts (not a problem because Cathe’s Xtrain should be released in a few weeks--more new Cathe workouts!) and Turbo Barre is one that I put off purchasing, then once I purchased it, I put off doing it for a long time. … Continue reading Cathe’s Turbo Barre

Bootcamp was the first workout I reviewed when I created this blog. I knew what I wanted this blog to contain, but until 4/17/12 I had done everything on paper. So it took some practice before the reviews look the way they do now. So I decided that Bootcamp and Muscle Endurance deserve to be … Continue reading Cathe’s Bootcamp
Cathe’s Pyramid Upper and Lower Body
Just when I think Cathe has done it all, I try another new-to-me Cathe workout and am again surprised and impressed. Cathe’s strength workouts generally focus on building muscle strength or building muscle endurance; the pyramid technique focuses on both strength and endurance in a single workout. It is also a workout that you need … Continue reading Cathe’s Pyramid Upper and Lower Body
