Low Impact Circuit is a low impact cardio + strength workout and it was just what I needed this morning after brutalizing myself with Maximum Intensity Cardio yesterday. I really, really liked this workout a lot. First, I have to say that it is not as hard as most Cathe workouts that I own, but … Continue reading Cathe’s Low Impact Circuit

Cathe’s Muscle Endurance
Just like Bootcamp, I am updating and rewriting the Muscle Endurance review. It was the second review I wrote for this blog (posted 4/20/12) and like I mentioned in the new Bootcamp review, I knew what I wanted, but I clearly hadn’t achieved it in those two reviews. However, I am leaving them up--so if … Continue reading Cathe’s Muscle Endurance
Cathe’s Body Max 2
Holy cow! What a workout! Body Max 2 is 97 minutes of EVERYTHING. This workout is no joke! Cardio, HIITs, total body strength work and intense abdominal work. Cathe has created a monster cardio + strength workout. I am in awe. Obviously, at 97 minutes, I will not be able to do the full workout … Continue reading Cathe’s Body Max 2
Cathe’s Cross Train Express
Cross Train Express is another of Cathe’s “systems.” She has a few. Specifically 4 Day Split and STS, though any of her series can be used as a system. However, Cross Train Express (CTX) is sold only as a system—which is also how 4 Day Split and STS are sold, meaning you cannot purchase the … Continue reading Cathe’s Cross Train Express
Cathe’s Pyramid Upper and Lower Body
Just when I think Cathe has done it all, I try another new-to-me Cathe workout and am again surprised and impressed. Cathe’s strength workouts generally focus on building muscle strength or building muscle endurance; the pyramid technique focuses on both strength and endurance in a single workout. It is also a workout that you need … Continue reading Cathe’s Pyramid Upper and Lower Body
Gym Style Chest and Triceps
Gym Style Chest and Triceps is a strength workout from Cathe’s Hardcore series. There are 3 Gym Style workouts (Gym Style Chest & Triceps, Gym Style Legs, and Gym Style Back, Shoulders & Biceps) and together they are a split series. The difference between this split series and Cathe’s other split series, is that they … Continue reading Gym Style Chest and Triceps
Cathe’s Push Pull
Push Pull is the second half of a Cathe multi-workout DVD. The other workout on this DVD is Supersets which has already been reviewed on this blog. It is interesting because Push Pull is actually a superset workout, too—opposing muscle group supersets, so it’s nice that they were combined on the same DVD. I really, … Continue reading Cathe’s Push Pull
Cathe’s Slow and Heavy
Slow and Heavy is another of Cathe’s amazing multi-workout DVDs. I’m going to review some of her multi-workout DVDs differently now that I’m doing her split workouts. If it is a DVD that contains split workouts, I’ll review all of the splits in one post since they are designed to be used in conjunction with … Continue reading Cathe’s Slow and Heavy
P90X Plus
P90X Plus is an add on program for P90X. P90X Plus comes with 4 DVDs that have 5 workouts on them and a fitness guide. A big difference between P90X+ and P90X is the length of the workouts. P90X workouts were all (except abs) approx. an hour long (Yoga X is 90 minutes!). P90X+ workouts all … Continue reading P90X Plus
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. I was already pretty sore from Cathe’s Maximum Intensity Strength, so not sure if that had anything to do with how challenging I found High … Continue reading Cathe’s High Reps
