Cathe’s Athletic Training

Athletic Training is a very eclectic cardio + strength workout and though I loved it, I can how see it will not appeal to everyone.

I make substitutions where I have to, but I also … Continue reading Cathe’s Athletic Training

Cathe Friedrich’s Cardio Supersets

Edited 8/18/12 Cardio Supersets is part of Cathe’s Low Impact Series. I have had a lot of interest in Cathe’s Low Impact Series for a while, but have held off on purchasing any workouts in that series because a part of me thinks “low impact” equals low intensity.
