I remember when Bob Harper first announced the Black Fire fitness program. I was so excited! Then I found out it would not be offered on DVD. You have to subscribe to Daily Burn and stream it. I was not only very disappointed but I assumed I would never try it unless it was eventually put on … Continue reading Black Fire

Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Of all of Cathe's new workouts in the Strong & Sweaty Series I was most excited about this one (with Total Body Giant Sets a close second). First let me explain what PHA Training is. It stands for Peripheral Heart Action Training. Cathe defines it as: "You'll alternate from lower body to upper body with … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Another bootcamp workout from Cathe. I love bootcamp workouts so I was looking forward to this one. I love her Boot Camp Body Blast and her original Bootcamp workout, as well as her Cathe Live bootcamp workouts. The ICE Boot Camp Circuit workout was a bit of a disappointment for me because it was so easy … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Strong & Sweaty: Cardio Slam
Cardio Slam is a pure cardio workout from Cathe and it is part of the Strong & Sweaty Series. I really enjoyed this workout. It is not a HIIT level workout, but it does have its moments of intensity. In fact, that is what I really like about it. It is a good length for … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Cardio Slam
Strong & Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body
I was very excited about Ramped Up Upper Body (actually, I am excited about all of the Strong & Sweaty workouts for various reasons). When I do splits I prefer full splits--as in upper body and lower body. Cathe rarely does that on DVD. She does lots and lots of lower body workouts, but her … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body
Strong & Sweaty: Total Body Giant Sets
I was pretty excited about Cathe's latest workout releases since she did similar Cathe Live workouts. At least, judging from the titles. And I love those particular Live workouts. On 6/30/16 she did a Live workout titled Total Body Giant Sets. Yep--the exact same title as this DVD. I adore the live Total Body Giant … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Total Body Giant Sets
No More Trouble Zones
I have had this workout a very long time. I have done it before, too, but oddly, I remembered very little about it. It has been that long since I did it. I probably purchased it as soon as it was released in 2009, did it a few times and for some reason moved on. I did … Continue reading No More Trouble Zones
Cathe Live: Hooked on Legs
Hooked on Legs is another intense and effective lower body workout from Cathe. And she has so many of them! It is really hard to choose which one I want to do--especially now that I think I've done nearly every single one of her Live lower body workouts (except the most recent one). In this workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hooked on Legs
Cathe Live: Rock Bottoms & Core
Rock Bottoms & Core is another tough lower body workout from Cathe Live. I have been doing a lot of Live lower body workouts recently, so to be honest, I am not sure if I'm burning out my lower body or if this was just a hard workout but I seemed to be feeling it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Rock Bottoms & Core
Cathe Live: Triset Legs
Wow! This is a tough and effective lower body workout. And super intense! This worked me hard. According to my Fitbit I was in my peak heart rate nearly 1/3 of this strength workout. And it felt like it. I was drenched in sweat by the end. Now, I did lift heavier than Cathe on … Continue reading Cathe Live: Triset Legs
