Boot Camp Body Blast

Boot Camp Body Blast is a new workout by Cathe Friedrich. Unlike her other workouts, it was not produced by her and it is not sold by her. It is sold through IDEA, a health and fitness association. They had a conference this year and Cathe taught a class to other trainers to teach them … Continue reading Boot Camp Body Blast

Bikini Body: Bootylicious

I am now a big fan of Tracey Mallett. After doing the fabulous F.I.T. and The Booty Barre: Total New Body, she is filling up my wishlist. Her workouts are hard, effective and she brings such a warm and personable presence to her workouts. She is encouraging and likable and I just love doing workouts … Continue reading Bikini Body: Bootylicious

Cathe Live: Lovin’ Those Legs

Lovin' those Legs is another excellent lower body workout from Cathe Live. If there is one thing Cathe never neglects, it is the lower body. Between DVDs and Live workouts, she has created a plethora of lower body workouts. And here is yet another one I love. I actually liked it a lot more than … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lovin’ Those Legs

Get Ripped in 6 Minutes

I'm a big fan of Jari Love though I do not do her workouts as frequently as I used to, they are always good and very effective. Her workouts are usually high rep/endurance level circuit workouts that are frequently metabolic and so are giving you cardio with your strength work. The real benefit of some … Continue reading Get Ripped in 6 Minutes

Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast

Smokin' Upper Body Blast was tough! Surprisingly tough! Excellent workout. I love cardio + strength workouts--especially when they isolate the upper body. There aren't a lot of those types of workouts out there (they are usually total body or lower body focused), so when I discover one, I glom it! And this is an especially … Continue reading Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast

Cathe Live: Butts & Guts

It's been a long time since I did the DVD version of this workout but I do remember really liking it and finding it very challenging. So, I did the DVD version on Saturday in preparation for doing this Live today. Although the live version does use some of the same exercises and works your lower … Continue reading Cathe Live: Butts & Guts

Cathe Live: Long and Strong Legs

I will admit that I did this workout more out of curiosity than anything else. Due to technical difficulties there is no class--just Cathe running this workout all by herself. I was intrigued! The forum post about it states one of the cameramen had a medical emergency so that is why this workout was filmed … Continue reading Cathe Live: Long and Strong Legs

Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body

This was an excellent and unique total body cardio + strength workout. Cathe does a lot of cardio + strength workouts that focus on the lower body and they are always high impact, so I was very interested when I saw that the cardio blasts in this workout were low impact. Bonus! You get it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body

Cathe Live: Muscle Max with Step

As I mentioned in my review of Cathe Live Muscle Max (no step), I prepped for these two live workouts by doing the DVD version of Muscle Max first. This workout caught me by surprise--Cathe did this live just last week. But I managed to rearrange my rotation and make it fit! Muscle Max DVD … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max with Step

Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)

Muscle Max Live (no step) is based on the DVD Muscle Max. So in order to prep for this workout I did Muscle Max (DVD) on Saturday. There are a lot of differences between this workout and the DVD version but we will get to those in a minute. When I set up my workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)
