Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio

Leg (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio was an incredible workout. I loved it! This is the second workout I've done by Yvette Bachman and it feels like I am rediscovering Cathe (and Cathe Live) for the first time. I am not implying that she creates Cathe-like workouts. Yvette's workouts are her own creation … Continue reading Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio

JessicaSmithTV: Step & Strength Circuit

Step & Strength Circuit is an awesome metabolic strength workout. It is a cardio + strength workout but I found the strength work more cardiovascularly intense than the step cardio! Jessica even commented that she was breathing harder during the strength work than during the step cardio. I was, too! The strength work is very … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Step & Strength Circuit

Awesome Intervals

Awesome Intervals is another workout DVD that I got at Mindy Mylrea's $3.99 sale and it was another disappointment. During the warm up I nearly turned the thing off and stuck in Cathe's Cross Fire (always my go-to workout if another workout doesn't work out for me). The step choreography for the warm up was immediately … Continue reading Awesome Intervals

Cathe Workout Blender

This review is a little different from many of my other reviews. First let me explain what Workout Blender is, for people who don't know. For $19.97 a month you can join Cathe's On Demand streaming service. What this entails is access to every single Cathe workout that is available on DVD--all ready to stream … Continue reading Cathe Workout Blender

Cathe Live: Body Blast Boot Camp

Body Blast Boot Camp appears to be based on the Strong & Sweaty series Boot Camp workout. That is an excellent bootcamp workout and so is this one. It is intense and fun. I like to use these bootcamp workouts more as metabolic cardio workouts rather than strength training, so I used the same weight … Continue reading Cathe Live: Body Blast Boot Camp

Simply Circuit

Simply Circuit is a cardio + strength workout, and the strength work is all upper body focused. Those types of workouts are hard to come by so as soon as I read that this was upper body focused, I bought it! I got this workout on sale on Gin Miller's website a while ago--and it … Continue reading Simply Circuit

Hard Work Conditioning 24/7

Hard Work Conditioning 24/7 is the 3rd Hard Work Conditioning workout by Patrick Goudeau. Patrick is the master of metabolic strength training and this is another excellent addition to his collection. It is called 24/7 because he has it set up so you can use this workout every day in different ways. In fact, the … Continue reading Hard Work Conditioning 24/7

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

Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T

Circuit S-W-E-A-T is a great little bootcamp workout. It is not Cathe's most advanced Live workout but it is still a great workout. I really enjoyed it. It is made up of 6 circuits. Each circuit starts with a cardio blast on the step. It is followed by a lower body strength exercise, then an upper body strength … Continue reading Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T

Cathe Live: Scrambled Cardio & Weights

Scrambled Cardio & Weights is another excellent cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. And this time she does an excellent job of actually working total body. In fact, I thought she had once again skipped the back, but it was the very last exercise you do before the stretch. So yay! A true total … Continue reading Cathe Live: Scrambled Cardio & Weights
