Cathe’s Low Impact Challenge

Low Impact Challenge is a step-cardio workout from Cathe’s Low Impact series. I’ll admit, I was disappointed in this workout. It was not what I had hoped for. It is true that the few workouts of Cathe’s that I don't care for are step workouts, so it’s not a huge surprise, but these days I do … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Impact Challenge

Cathe’s Terminator

The Terminator DVD is another of Cathe’s compilation DVDs. It contains 3 long workouts that are created by combining segments from 4 existing workouts from her Intensity Series: Imax 2, Cardio & Weights, Muscle Endurance and Bootcamp. So they are all basically long premixes--and they are tough. Premixes on crack. I’ll give a brief summary … Continue reading Cathe’s Terminator

Cathe’s Imax 3

Imax 3 is the third workout in Cathe’s Imax series. It is 59 minutes; 9 minute warm up, 41 minute step/HIIT/cardio, 9 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe and crew used a 6 inch step. I love the other two Imax workouts, so I was looking forward to Imax 3. I did my research and I knew that … Continue reading Cathe’s Imax 3

Cathe’s Imax 2

Imax 2 is a cardio step/HIIT workout from Cathe. Imax stands for Interval Max and this is the second Imax workout Cathe created (there are 3 in all). Imax 2 is 54 minutes; 7 minute warm up, 41 minute training time and 6 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe uses a 6 inch step. Imax 2 is also … Continue reading Cathe’s Imax 2

Cathe’s Low Max

Low Max is a 69 minute “low impact” cardio step workout from Cathe; 8 minute warm up, 53 minute cardio step work and 8 minute cool down/stretch. Cathe uses an 8 inch step in this workout and I think that height is necessary to get a good workout. The idea behind this workout is a … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Max

Cathe’s Step Blast

Step Blast is a 55 minute cardio step workout; 6 minute warm up, 45 minute cardio step and 4 minute stretch. You need an 6 inch step for this workout. Step Blast is part of a multi-workout DVD. The other workout on this DVD is Step, Pump & Jump which will be reviewed separately. I wanted … Continue reading Cathe’s Step Blast

Cathe’s Cardio Fusion

Cardio Fusion is another one of Cathe’s compilation workouts. She has four of these compilations and what they really are is premixes of 3 or more workouts. Her other compilation collections include: Terminator, Hardcore Extreme and Timesaver from the Body Blast series. Since I adore Cathe’s premixes, I love her compilation DVDs. It’s very cool, … Continue reading Cathe’s Cardio Fusion

Cathe’s Cardio & Weights

Cardio & Weights is another intermediate level cardio + strength workout from Cathe. It works well as a recovery workout. It’s not intense, but neither is it easy. It is a solid workout and it is a lot of fun. It also has a challenging abdominal section. This workout, in fact, seems rather reminiscent of The … Continue reading Cathe’s Cardio & Weights

Cathe’s Low Impact Circuit

Low Impact Circuit is a low impact cardio + strength workout and it was just what I needed this morning after brutalizing myself with Maximum Intensity Cardio yesterday. I really, really liked this workout a lot. First, I have to say that it is not as hard as most Cathe workouts that I own, but … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Impact Circuit

Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Cardio

What can I say except WOW. I am stunned by this workout. It was originally released on VHS in 1998. I didn’t know they had workouts like this back in 1998. Heck, I was doing Buns of Steel and riding a stationary bike for exercise. This workout is HARD. Much harder than I expected. Maximum … Continue reading Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Cardio
