Metabolic Total Body is an excellent metabolic strength training workout. It is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like Low Impact Sweat, I didn't find this workout as easy as I expected. The "intermediate" is deceiving. However, I did automatically lift heavier than Cathe on every single exercise. That is one of the aspects … Continue reading ICE: Metabolic Total Body

ICE: Low Impact Sweat
Low Impact Sweat is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). It is the first workout I have done from this series and my first impression is--intermediate? Really? This was very challenging! I got an excellent workout! Here is what I can guess is intermediate about this workout--when she used dumbbells to increase … Continue reading ICE: Low Impact Sweat
Cathe Live: Total Body Tone Up
Another excellent total body workout from Cathe Live. I thought it was a great workout and really enjoyed it; however, oddly, the back really seemed short-changed in this workout. She covered every other muscle group very well but the back got nothing but pullovers. Personally, I would have preferred she shortchanged the chest this morning. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Tone Up
Cathe Live: Compound Giant Sets
I chose to do this workout mostly out of curiosity from the title. I am so glad I did. This is an awesome metabolic/endurance workout. It wasn't quite what I expected by the title. A giant set is circuit training with very little rest between sets; however I always associate giant sets with focusing on … Continue reading Cathe Live: Compound Giant Sets
Cathe Live: Metabolic Conditioning
Metabolic Conditioning was my Christmas workout. I was up late last night (and ate and drank too much!), we had stockings & gifts this morning, then dinner at noon and another dinner with the in-laws this evening. Not much time to workout! Metabolic Conditioning sounded short, intense and sweet at only 42 minutes. And it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Metabolic Conditioning
Cathe Live: Mish Mosh Legs
Another great Live workout from Cathe. This one is just what it says--50 minutes of lower body work. Cathe works primarily the glutes, hamstrings and quads, and she tries to work them in a variety of angles w/ dumbbells and firewalkers. I really enjoyed the diversity of this workout. Lots of fun and worked my … Continue reading Cathe Live: Mish Mosh Legs
Cathe Live: Strong Upper Body w/ Core
Strong Upper Body w/ Core is an amazing upper body workout! My new favorite. I will definitely be utilizing this workout a lot. This is also one of the many, many things I love about Cathe Live--the muscle split workouts. Cathe has always created amazing muscle split workouts on DVD, but I personally would prefer … Continue reading Cathe Live: Strong Upper Body w/ Core
Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights
Yet another awesome cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. Cathe's live workouts are a treasure trove of these types of workouts--and btw, cardio + strength is my absolute favorite type of workout, and Cathe consistently does it better than anyone else out there. Not necessarily metabolic strength, tho I do love that, too, but circuit … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights
Cathe Live: High Intensity Aerobic Weight Training w/ Step
I love this workout! What an awesome workout! A total body cardio + strength workout. Cathe set it up in 7 rounds. Each rounds starts with a cardio move on a 10 inch step then moves into strength work--some of it upper body, some of it lower body, some of it combines upper and lower … Continue reading Cathe Live: High Intensity Aerobic Weight Training w/ Step
Cathe Live: Strong Total Body
Strong Total Body is an awesome total body strength workout. It is fairly fast paced and you can go moderate to heavy on most exercises. I got an excellent workout in only 47 minutes! I loved it! Also, Cathe was very even and consistent in this workout. Both sides of the body are worked equally … Continue reading Cathe Live: Strong Total Body
