Bootcamp Blast Off is a fun total body cardio + strength workout. It is set up in 7 rounds; each round consists of cardio, compound/metabolic strength, lower body strength and upper body strength. Though Cathe does point out a few times that you are hitting every muscle in the body--that's not really true. The back … Continue reading Cathe Live: Bootcamp Blast Off

Cathe Live: Lift it Hiit It Legs
This workout has been on my "To Do" list since I signed up for Cathe Live, but I decided this was the perfect time to do it. I am the middle of a Ripped w/ HIIT & Gym Styles rotation, and I am doing the DVD version of this workout every other week. So it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lift it Hiit It Legs
Cathe Live: You Can Do Anything for a Minute
You Can Do Anything for a Minute is one of Cathe's newer live workouts. I was intrigued by the video clip so I shifted things around in my rotation to fit it in. And I am glad I did! It is a great cardio + strength total body workout. I got an excellent workout. But … Continue reading Cathe Live: You Can Do Anything for a Minute
Cathe Live: Fit ‘N’ Firm
Fit 'N' Firm is a total body metabolic strength workout. It is a very good workout but for some reason I didn't love it as much as I love most of Cathe's other Cathe Live workouts. However, I did feel thoroughly worked out. Though it is total body, I feel it hits the upper body much harder … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit ‘N’ Firm
Cathe Live: Blast, Barre & Bands
Blast, Barre & Bands is another unique live workout that you will not find anything quite like it on DVD. I didn't know what to expect when coming to it, but ended up loving it. First, the warm up seemed shorter than most Cathe Live workouts (and it is a bit shorter, but not by … Continue reading Cathe Live: Blast, Barre & Bands
Cathe Live: Step HIIT + Upper Body Weights
Step HIIT + Upper Body Weights is the second Cathe Live that Cathe created and this one was done much better than Kickbox Bootcamp (the first Cathe Live Cathe created)--which is a great workout but full of problems, IMHO. On the Cathe Live site this is just listed as Step HIIT; however, on her forum she … Continue reading Cathe Live: Step HIIT + Upper Body Weights
Cathe Live: Lower Body Burn
Lower Body Burn is an intense lower body workout that fried my lower body. Excellent and fast paced workout. There is some cardio, lots of metabolic work so you are burning calories along with frying your lower body muscles. It starts with a long warm up, moves into cardio, then weighted strength training that is … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lower Body Burn
Cathe Live: Stability Ball Total Body Weights
Stability Ball Total Body Weights was an excellent live workout--much better than I expected. I like stability ball work, but I am wary when it is used in every single exercise in an entire workout--especially when lower body is involved. It is great and very functional for lots of exercises, but not every exercise. But … Continue reading Cathe Live: Stability Ball Total Body Weights
Cathe Live: Cardio Circuit Challenge Express
Cardio Circuit Challenge Express is a short but sweet little metabolic weight training workout. It alternates between strength work and cardio, but overall is very cardio heavy. Use heavy enough weights and you might feel you got a decent total body workout, too. I came at this workout as a cardio workout so I used the same weights … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Circuit Challenge Express
Cathe Live: Total Body Weights
Whew! That was a very tough workout! Excellent total body high rep strength workout. Cathe burned out every muscle group before moving on to fry the next. I overshot it on weights a few times and had to take my own personal breaks before I could carry on; and on biceps, I had to hit … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Weights
