#238 PHA Plus Cardio Blasts is another workout in Cathe's growing collection of PHA workouts. This workout is different from her other PHA workouts. It is more like a bootcamp workout but it still uses the PHA principle. PHA stands for Peripheral Heart Action. What this means in training terms is you alternate between upper and … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA Plus Cardio Blasts
#171 Fit Tower Total Body with Weights is yet another excellent total body strength workout from Cathe Live using her Fit Tower. I love how that tower works my back! This is another workout that you can only substitute a chair for some of the moves. In order to get the full value of the … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Total Body with Weights
#224 Fit Tower Inferno is another excellent and intense total body strength workout using the Fit Tower. These workouts specifically (the Live Fit Tower workouts) are why I resubscribed to Cathe Live for a few months--to try them out and see if I wanted to purchase the downloads. Well, this one is gong to the … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Inferno
#214 Total Body Giant Sets 2 is an incredibly intense, total body metabolic strength workout. Another Cathe Live winner! I was working very hard. I burned more calories doing this workout than I burned I doing In the Ring yesterday! (According to my FitBit.) Plus, I was in my peak heart rate a few times … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Giant Sets 2
#278 PHA 2020 is awesome!!!! I love Cathe's PHA workouts and this one is another winner. I am definitely buying this one. This workout is based on her Step Boss: PHA 3 workout but I like this one tons better. Not just because it is easier (it is) but I feel like it does a … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA 2020
#160 Fit Tower Live is apparently a road trip workout and it is a full house--there are tons of exercisers! I think Cathe said 106 people. This is a Live version of her Fit Tower Bootcamp DVD, which I like much better than this. In fact, I didn't like this workout at all--it was too busy … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Live
Just like Volume 1 & 2 in Tracie Long's Core Movements series, Volumes 3 & 4 are functional strength, mobility and core work along with deep and intense stretching. I really love this series and never expected to! Just like in Volume 1 & 2, the first workout on the DVD, Volume 3: Bottom Line, … Continue reading Core Movements: Volume 3 & 4
I have been away from Cathe Live for a long time. I did plan to return sooner than this but life got in the way. But then Cathe started selling downloads of her live workouts. I bought my absolute favorites and also did some perusing of the 100+ she has created since I was last … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Tone & Tighten
PHA 3 is part of Cathe's new workout series Step Boss. The other two DVDs in this series are Step Sync and Imax 4. Cathe also created a Quick Start Users Guide to accompany this series. I really wasn't sure how this workout fit into the "Step Boss" idea. I mean, there is no cardio … Continue reading Step Boss: PHA 3
Focus: Weightless is a bodyweight strength and cardio workout from Tracie Long. That must be what the title represents (but I don't know this for sure)--strength work without weights. No equipment is needed for this workout except an exercise mat and Tracie claims you will work every muscle in your body in the course of … Continue reading Focus: Weightless (Volume 6)
