Cathe’s Athletic Step

Atheltic Step is a cardio workout that is part of Cathe’s Shock Cardio series. These workouts were created to compliment STS, which is her 3 month intense weight training program. I find this series a little odd. I found the section on Cathe’s website where she initially introduced this series. It explained that the idea … Continue reading Cathe’s Athletic Step

Cathe’s Interval Max

Interval Max is the first in Cathe’s Imax series. There are two more after this one—Imax 2 and Imax 3. These are tough workouts. They are all basically very long HIIT workouts. I really, really like this workout. It was tough and exhausting and rather impressive, considering Interval Max came out in 1999. Before I … Continue reading Cathe’s Interval Max

Cathe’s Body Max 2

Holy cow! What a workout! Body Max 2 is 97 minutes of EVERYTHING. This workout is no joke! Cardio, HIITs, total body strength work and intense abdominal work. Cathe has created a monster cardio + strength workout. I am in awe. Obviously, at 97 minutes, I will not be able to do the full workout … Continue reading Cathe’s Body Max 2

Cathe’s Cross Train Express

Cross Train Express is another of Cathe’s “systems.” She has a few. Specifically 4 Day Split and STS, though any of her series can be used as a system. However, Cross Train Express (CTX) is sold only as a system—which is also how 4 Day Split and STS are sold, meaning you cannot purchase the … Continue reading Cathe’s Cross Train Express

Cathe’s Intensity

Intensity--just as the title indicates--is an intense cardio workout and I adore it! I really don’t know why I am ever on the fence about purchasing a Cathe workout. This was another one I went back and forth on and finally just did it. Let me give some background on this workout. It is described as … Continue reading Cathe’s Intensity

Cathe’s Circuit Blast

**Note--this review was written in stages--so it is created and formatted a little differently than previous reviews due to things I've learned along the way.Circuit Blast is a rather unusual workout by Cathe. Initially, I was unsure how to categorize it; cardio or cardio + strength? It was created as part of the Shock Cardio … Continue reading Cathe’s Circuit Blast

Cathe’s Lower Body Blast

Lower Body Blast is an amazing lower body strength workout by Cathe. Not sure exactly how to classify it. Obviously strength, but maybe strength + cardio? The warm up is actually a cardio step routine and then throughout the floor work (which makes up the majority of the workout) there are “blasts”--plyometric cardio drills. In … Continue reading Cathe’s Lower Body Blast

Cathe’s 4 Day Split

Cathe's 4 Day Split is an amazing split series cardio + strength workout collection. It contains 4 full cardio + strength workouts: Higher Intensity Step with Chest and Back, Lower Intensity Step with Shoulders and Core, Bootcamp with Biceps and Triceps, and Kickbox with Legs and Core. These 4 workouts are created to make the best … Continue reading Cathe’s 4 Day Split

Cathe’s Drill Max

Drill Max is incredible! I almost didn’t buy this workout (amazing, I know, because when it comes to Cathe, I haven’t been very discriminating--if she creates it, I will buy it). However, I do avoid the majority of her step-cardio workouts because the choreography in those is very complex. I knew there was step involved … Continue reading Cathe’s Drill Max

Cathe’s High Step Training

High Step Training is another amazing cardio + strength workout from Cathe. It is 60 minute advanced full body workout; 5 minute warm up, 50 minute training period and 5 minute stretch. The first thing that needs to be said is that High Step Training is not to be confused with High Step Challenge, which … Continue reading Cathe’s High Step Training
