…so I do it at home
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
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
**Note--this review was written in stages--so it is created and formatted a little differently than previous reviews due to things I've learned along the way.Circuit Blast is a rather unusual workout by Cathe. Initially, I was unsure how to categorize it; cardio or cardio + strength? It was created as part of the Shock Cardio … Continue reading Cathe’s Circuit Blast
Drill Max is incredible! I almost didn’t buy this workout (amazing, I know, because when it comes to Cathe, I haven’t been very discriminating--if she creates it, I will buy it). However, I do avoid the majority of her step-cardio workouts because the choreography in those is very complex. I knew there was step involved … Continue reading Cathe’s Drill Max

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 workouts were all (except abs) approx. an hour long (Yoga X is 90 minutes!). P90X+ workouts all … Continue reading P90X Plus
Legs & Glutes is an incredible lower body strength workout by Cathe. So good, in fact, that I fear I will not be able to walk tomorrow. It is one of those special gifts Cathe gives you—two full workouts on one DVD. The other workout on this DVD is Kick, Punch & Crunch, which has … Continue reading Cathe’s Legs & Glutes
Circuit Max is another effective and fast paced cardio + strength workout. It is part of one of Cathe’s wonderful multi-workout DVDs. The other full workout on this DVD is Cardio Kicks which has already been reviewed on this blog. Circuit Max is 65 minutes long; 10 minute warm up, 50 minute training period and … Continue reading Cathe’s Circuit Max
Yay! Another Cathe winner! After BodyMax I was afraid my streak of discovering amazing Cathe workouts that I adore was at an end. Enter Cathe's HIIT workouts. HIIT is an acronym for High Intensity Interval Training, one of the very best ways to burn fat and create an afterburn affect--all in less time than regular cardio. … Continue reading Cathe’s HIIT workouts
