Cathe’s High Reps
High Reps is another strength workout by Cathe. The focus of this one is muscle endurance. I really enjoyed this workout and found it surprisingly tough--tougher than I expected, actually.

It is … Continue reading Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Strength

Cathe’s Body Max
Edited 12/28/12 (scroll to the end for edit) BodyMax is a 91 minute cardio + strength workout by Cathe. It’s an oldy, too--2001, and apparently it was originally released on VHS.
