The name "vertical loading" is from an article in Cathe's blog that came out the same week as this workout aired live. This is a circuit workout made up of exercises that start from the top of your body and work down in a vertical fashion. You start with shoulder exercises and end with lower body … Continue reading Cathe Live: Vertical Loading

Cathe Live: Cardio Circuit Mash Up
Cardio Circuit Mash Up is a metabolic cardio workout. It was a pretty intense little workout and I really enjoyed it. It appears that the structure of this workout was supposed to be cardio exercises alternated with strength exercises but as the workout progresses Cathe forgets to do some of the strength exercises so it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Circuit Mash Up
Cathe Live: Ramped Up Cardio & Weights
It's been a while since I've done a new Cathe Live. I am still doing Cathe Live workouts, but they are ones I've already done and I know in advance what weights to use. However, I do love Cathe's cardio + strength workouts. I've done all of her Cathe Live ones that are total body workouts … Continue reading Cathe Live: Ramped Up Cardio & Weights
Boot Camp Body Blast
Boot Camp Body Blast is a new workout by Cathe Friedrich. Unlike her other workouts, it was not produced by her and it is not sold by her. It is sold through IDEA, a health and fitness association. They had a conference this year and Cathe taught a class to other trainers to teach them … Continue reading Boot Camp Body Blast
Get Ripped in 6 Minutes
I'm a big fan of Jari Love though I do not do her workouts as frequently as I used to, they are always good and very effective. Her workouts are usually high rep/endurance level circuit workouts that are frequently metabolic and so are giving you cardio with your strength work. The real benefit of some … Continue reading Get Ripped in 6 Minutes
Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast
Smokin' Upper Body Blast was tough! Surprisingly tough! Excellent workout. I love cardio + strength workouts--especially when they isolate the upper body. There aren't a lot of those types of workouts out there (they are usually total body or lower body focused), so when I discover one, I glom it! And this is an especially … Continue reading Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast
Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)
Muscle Max Live (no step) is based on the DVD Muscle Max. So in order to prep for this workout I did Muscle Max (DVD) on Saturday. There are a lot of differences between this workout and the DVD version but we will get to those in a minute. When I set up my workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)
Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
This was a surprisingly intense little metabolic workout from Popsugar and Anna Renderer! And only 20 minutes long. I was very impressed. It has another title (it flashes across the screen at the very beginning) of Cardio Strength Metabolic Mash Up, which is also appropriate. I used it this morning as a "warm up" before … Continue reading Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
The Firm: Get Chisel’d
I have an entire box filled with old Firm workouts I used to love and do faithfully. Lately I have been getting nostalgic and I am trying to revisit some of my old favorite Firms. Get Chisel'd was one of my very favorite Firms near the end of my (long) Firm period. I remember I … Continue reading The Firm: Get Chisel’d
Cathe Live: Total Body Giant Sets
I was very excited about this workout when Cathe announced it. And even more so after I watched the clip. I could not wait to do this workout! But I was in the middle of my Cathe Live rotation, so I had to wait. I finally got to do it this morning and boy--did this workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Giant Sets
