#276 All In Upper Body is another excellent and intense strength workout. The key phrase for this workout is "partial reps." Cathe adds partial reps to many of the exercises to completely burn out whatever muscle group she is working. I also love how this is all upper body--nothing else. I don't have a problem with … Continue reading Cathe Live: All In Upper Body

Cathe Live: Lower Body Barre and Weights
#239 Lower Body Barre and Weights is an incredibly intense, incredibly thorough and incredibly comprehensive lower body workout. It was also brutal. My legs were very fatigued well before the workout was over and right now, an hour later (when I first record my thoughts) they feel weak and are still humming. And currently, when … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lower Body Barre and Weights
Cathe Live: PHA 3
#184 PHA 3 yet another amazing PHA workout from Cathe! They are all so good! I thought her PHA 2020 was the best but I hadn't done this one yet! Now I am not sure which is better. What sets this one a notch above the others is that you get 3 circuits--not just 2 … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA 3

Cathe Live: Fit Tower Bootcamp
#268 Fit Tower Bootcamp is awesome! I LOVE this workout! It has everything. It is a total body cardio + strength workout and Cathe manages to work every single muscle in your body through compound moves.

Cathe Live: Jabs & Abs
#166 Jabs & Abs is an intense cardio boxing workout. There are no kicks in this workout but lots of punches, punch drills, punch combos and cardio bursts. I was working hard!

Jabs & … Continue reading Cathe Live: Jabs & Kicks
Cathe Live: Buff Upper Body
#163 Buff Upper Body is an excellent and intense upper body strength and core workout. I was working hard during this workout. You don't get much rest between exercises but Cathe does superset some of the exercises so one muscle group gets some recovery while the other is working, but sometimes it still didn't seem … Continue reading Cathe Live: Buff Upper Body
