My Intro to Xtrain
Xtrain is a workout series from Cathe Friedrich. I have been anxiously awaiting this program for months. I pre-ordered it the day it appeared on Cathe’s website many months ago and every time she posted an update on the production progress of this series/program, my anticipation grew. Anyone who follows this blog knows in 2012 … Continue reading My Intro to Xtrain
Cathe’s Hardcore Extreme
Hardcore Extreme is another compilation DVD from Cathe. Her compilation collections are basically DVDs that contain premixes--but they are premixes created from multiple existing workouts. And two of them in particular: Terminator and Hardcore Extreme, contain long and brutal “premixes.” Hardcore Extreme is created from 4 workouts in the Hardcore Series: Imax 3, Low Max, … Continue reading Cathe’s Hardcore Extreme
Cathe’s Terminator
The Terminator DVD is another of Cathe’s compilation DVDs. It contains 3 long workouts that are created by combining segments from 4 existing workouts from her Intensity Series: Imax 2, Cardio & Weights, Muscle Endurance and Bootcamp. So they are all basically long premixes--and they are tough. Premixes on crack. I’ll give a brief summary … Continue reading Cathe’s Terminator
Cathe’s Imax 3
Imax 3 is the third workout in Cathe’s Imax series. It is 59 minutes; 9 minute warm up, 41 minute step/HIIT/cardio, 9 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe and crew used a 6 inch step. I love the other two Imax workouts, so I was looking forward to Imax 3. I did my research and I knew that … Continue reading Cathe’s Imax 3
Cathe’s Imax 2
Imax 2 is a cardio step/HIIT workout from Cathe. Imax stands for Interval Max and this is the second Imax workout Cathe created (there are 3 in all). Imax 2 is 54 minutes; 7 minute warm up, 41 minute training time and 6 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe uses a 6 inch step. Imax 2 is also … Continue reading Cathe’s Imax 2
Cathe’s Low Max
Low Max is a 69 minute “low impact” cardio step workout from Cathe; 8 minute warm up, 53 minute cardio step work and 8 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe uses an 8 inch step in this workout and I think that height is necessary to get a good workout. The idea behind this workout is a … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Max
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 has created a monster cardio + strength workout. I am in awe. Obviously, at 97 minutes, I will not be able to do the full workout … Continue reading Cathe’s Body Max 2
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
