Cathe’s Interval Max

Interval Max is the first in Cathe’s Imax series. There are two more after this one—Imax 2 and Imax 3. These are tough workouts. They are all basically very long HIIT workouts. I really, really like this workout. It was tough and exhausting and rather impressive, considering Interval Max came out in 1999. Before I … Continue reading Cathe’s Interval Max

Cathe’s Body Max 2

Holy cow! What a workout! Body Max 2 is 97 minutes of EVERYTHING. This workout is no joke! Cardio, HIITs, total body strength work and intense abdominal work.

Cathe’s Cross Train Express

Cross Train Express is another of Cathe’s “systems.” She has a few. Specifically 4 Day Split and STS, though any of her series can be used as a system. However, Cross Train Express (CTX) is sold only as a system—which is also how 4 Day Split and STS are sold, meaning you cannot purchase the … Continue reading Cathe’s Cross Train Express

Cathe’s Intensity

Intensity--just as the title indicates--is an intense cardio workout and I adore it! I really don’t know why I am ever on the fence about purchasing a Cathe workout. This was another one I went back and forth on and finally just did it. Let me give some background on this workout. It is described as … Continue reading Cathe’s Intensity

Cathe’s High Step Training

High Step Training is another amazing cardio + strength workout from Cathe. It is 60 minute advanced full body workout; 5 minute warm up, 50 minute training period and 5 minute stretch. The first thing that needs to be said is that High Step Training is not to be confused with High Step Challenge, which … Continue reading Cathe’s High Step Training

P90X Plus

P90X Plus is an add on program for P90X. P90X Plus comes with 4 DVDs that have 5 workouts on them and a fitness guide. A big difference between P90X+ and P90X is the length of the workouts. P90X workouts were all (except abs) approx. an hour long (Yoga X is 90 minutes!). P90X+ workouts all … Continue reading P90X Plus

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
