HIIT Fit Circuit is an excellent metabolic strength + HIIT workout. I really enjoyed it. However, from the way Cathe described it at the beginning of the workout, I was expecting there to be more of a strength focus but the strength work is primarily metabolic--using dumbbells to keep the heart rate elevated. Which is … Continue reading Cathe Live: HIIT Fit Circuit

Cathe Live: Cardio Band Blast with Weights
Cardio Band Blast w/ Weights is another great cardio workout from Cathe Live. It is intense, varied and uses lots of props. It is a lot of fun, too. You get a very long warm up, then you go into each segment based on the prop you use and that is how I will break … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Band Blast with Weights
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: 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
Cathe Live: Crossfire Express
Crossfire Express is a short but intense workout based on one of Cathe's DVD workouts Crossfire. And Crossfire is one of my all time favorite HIIT/metabolic strength training workouts. So I was both excited and apprehensive to try this one. Excited for obvious reasons, but apprehensive because I love the DVD version of Supercuts but … Continue reading Cathe Live: Crossfire Express
Meta Shred 21
Never has marketing sold me on a program as strongly as it has Meta Shred. I am familiar w/ BJ Gaddour from 10 Minute Torchers and though I liked him and his workouts, his name is not what sold me. I follow Men's Health on Facebook and the ad for Meta Shred kept popping up. I … Continue reading Meta Shred 21
Cathe Live: Kickbox Bootcamp
This was a very interesting workout. A few things to note upfront. This is the very first Cathe Live--and you can tell. This workout has issues. Second, on the Cathe Live page it is listed as "Bootcamp"; however, it is kickboxing bootcamp, so that is what I am calling it. I actually really liked this workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickbox Bootcamp
