Blast, Barre & Bands is another unique live workout that you will not find anything quite like it on DVD. I didn't know what to expect when coming to it, but ended up loving it. First, the warm up seemed shorter than most Cathe Live workouts (and it is a bit shorter, but not by … Continue reading Cathe Live: Blast, Barre & Bands

Cathe Live: HIIT Fit Circuit
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
Be Fit in 30 Extreme
***Update--I just posted this review today, but I already received a comment (below) giving me information I did not have before I posted it. Apparently, everything on the YouTube BeFit channel is free! I had no idea. Since this was posted before I had that information, I am not changing the review post, just adding … Continue reading Be Fit in 30 Extreme
Cathe Live: Drill Max
Drill Max Live is based on Cathe's DVD Drill Max which I love but haven't done in years. It is a long workout--77 minutes, so it used to be reserved for my Saturday workout. In fact, for a long time (2012-2013 time frame) Drill Max and Body Max 1 & 2 were my Saturday workouts. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Drill Max
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: Lean & Mean Legs
Another excellent and intense lower body workout from Cathe Live. It is put together very nicely. It starts with cardio, blends into metabolic strength training, then endurance/high rep strength training and ends w/ yoga/bodyweight strength training. Very well done, too. Cathe worked each leg equally throughout the entire workout. As I mentioned in the Cathe … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lean & Mean Legs
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
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
Killer Arms & Back
Killer Arms & Back is the 4rd (and final) workout collection in Jillian Michael's Killer series. The other 3 workout collections in the series are Killer Abs, Killer Buns & Thighs and Killer Body. This DVD contains 3 approximately 30 minute workouts that work the entire upper body--not just the arms and back. And since this … Continue reading Killer Arms & Back
ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE is Cathe's latest fitness program. ICE is an acronym that stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme. Now, Cathe is my #1 favorite trainer and an auto-buy for me but I will not lie, when I first learned that this was intermediate level I was disappointed. I love Cathe's advanced workouts (and the majority of her workouts are … Continue reading ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
