…so I do it at home
#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. I love bootcamp workouts but my biggest complaint is that they always seem to neglect certain muscle groups or hit … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Bootcamp
#167 Fit Tower Cardio Legs is another excellent Fit Tower workout. I wasn't feeling 100% when I came to this workout this morning (its been a rough weekend) but I still gave it 100% and got an excellent workout that really wore me out and worked my lower body hard. I had some serious muscle … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Cardio Legs
#267 Metabolic Madness should be called Metabolic Shoulder Madness--because man does it hit your shoulders hard. I loved it btw. In order to cram as many Cathe Live workouts as I can into a 2 month period, I am now doing them on Sundays, too. For my Sunday workouts, I chose shorter workouts titled metabolic, … Continue reading Cathe Live: Metabolic Madness
#251 Total Body Giant Sets 3 is another excellent Live total body strength workout. I love Cathe's giant set workouts! With that said, this is not my favorite of her 3 Live Giant Sets workouts. And since my current plan is to subscribe to Cathe Live for 2 months, do as many of the new-to-me … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Giant Sets 3
#238 PHA Plus Cardio Blasts is another workout in Cathe's growing collection of PHA workouts. This workout is different from her other PHA workouts. It is more like a bootcamp workout but it still uses the PHA principle. PHA stands for Peripheral Heart Action. What this means in training terms is you alternate between upper and … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA Plus Cardio Blasts
#214 Total Body Giant Sets 2 is an incredibly intense, total body metabolic strength workout. Another Cathe Live winner! I was working very hard. I burned more calories doing this workout than I burned I doing In the Ring yesterday! (According to my FitBit.) Plus, I was in my peak heart rate a few times … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Giant Sets 2
#278 PHA 2020 is awesome!!!! I love Cathe's PHA workouts and this one is another winner. I am definitely buying this one. This workout is based on her Step Boss: PHA 3 workout but I like this one tons better. Not just because it is easier (it is) but I feel like it does a … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA 2020
#160 Fit Tower Live is apparently a road trip workout and it is a full house--there are tons of exercisers! I think Cathe said 106 people. This is a Live version of her Fit Tower Bootcamp DVD, which I like much better than this. In fact, I didn't like this workout at all--it was too busy … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Live
PHA 3 is part of Cathe's new workout series Step Boss. The other two DVDs in this series are Step Sync and Imax 4. Cathe also created a Quick Start Users Guide to accompany this series. I really wasn't sure how this workout fit into the "Step Boss" idea. I mean, there is no cardio … Continue reading Step Boss: PHA 3
Focus: Weightless is a bodyweight strength and cardio workout from Tracie Long. That must be what the title represents (but I don't know this for sure)--strength work without weights. No equipment is needed for this workout except an exercise mat and Tracie claims you will work every muscle in your body in the course of … Continue reading Focus: Weightless (Volume 6)
