At Cathe dot Com we take pride in being a leader in fitness DVD production and technology. We were one of the first companies to produce a fitness DVD and now have over 40 titles on DVD - more than anyone else!

Yet, it is not the quantity of our DVDs that we take the most pride in, it’s the quality of our product. Our DVDs cost ten times more to create than nearly any other DVDs on the market today. Our DVDs are not cheap, but when you compare all the added features and premixes of our DVDs, we think you will agree that Cathe DVDs are not only the best buy on the market today...but also the best DVDs period!

Our new Body Blast DVDs are by far our most technologically advanced DVDs we have ever produced. Cathe’s 6 new workouts have been put on 3 dual layered Disc. Each DVD contains 2 workouts and over 20 Quick Select Premixes ™ giving you almost unlimited choices. We ‘ve even made a fourth DVD, Called the Timesaver, from many of the Body Blast workouts for days when you want a total body workout, but are running short on time.

The Workout Blender ™ is a brand new feature that we are offering for the fist time and will allow you to select and play different sections of the DVD in any order you like without having to input a chapter or title point.

Also, for the first time we are offering three different ways for you to listen to our new DVDs. You can choose from: #1 Normal mix ( This is the same audio mix you would hear if you had purchased the video), #2 Vocals Only (You will only hear Cathe's voice and very little music), #3 Music Louder (We’ve changed the audio mix of this selection to emphasize music over vocals. You will still hear both vocals and music, but the music will be louder than normal and vocals will be softer than usual.

Supersets is a unique 53 minute full body weight training program that incorporates a series of exercises that are grouped by varying body parts and performed in rounds. While this may not be the traditional association that many are used to with supersetting, superset training is also classified as doing two or more exercises at a given time with little or no rest between exercises (or sets).

Round One, Group A, consists of the following body part and exercise:

Legs...........barbell squats
Legs/Back...barbell deadlifts
Chest..........barbell bench press
Shoulders....dumbbell front/side raise on stability ball
Core............wood chops on the stability ball

Round One, Group B, repeates the body parts but uses different exercises:

Legs...........barbell plie' squats
Back...........dumbbell pullovers on the stability ball
Chest..........dumbbell incline fly on stability ball
Shoulders....dumbbell rotator cuff side raises on stability ball
Core...........roll outs on the stability ball (no weight)

Round Two, Group A, consists of the following body parts and exercises:

Legs..........dumbell one leg squat
Shoulders...dumbbell seated overhead press
Biceps........barbell preacher curls on the stability ball
Triceps.......dumbbell extensions on the stability ball
Core...........bike maneuver

Round Two, Group B, repeats the body parts but uses different exercises:

Legs..........explosive lunges (no equipment)
Shoulders...dumbbell rear and front delt raises prone on stability ball
Biceps........dumbbell concentration curls on the stability ball
Triceps.......seesaw tricep push ups (no weights)
Core...........side oblique crunches on the stability ball
Because the specific exercises themselves only do one set without repeating, you are encouraged to go as heavy as you can with good form. Of course the first few workouts will take some practice since you will not know exactly what weight will bring you to fatigue by the end of the set. Many exercises also contain a non-traditional set (ie: up 4 down 4, low ends, lunge forward lunge back then jump for 4 etc.)

The music is fun and recognizable. Here is a list of the songs:

On and On
Somewhere, Somehow
I'm Glad
Don't you just know
Whats Up
Golden Eye
You are not alone
Unbreak My Heart
This ain't no love song
Eternal Flame

Equipment needed:  a step bench, barbell, various weighted dumbbells, stability ball.

 

Push Pull is a 45 minute total body workout which features many new and refreshing exercises to keep your muscles stimulated in new ways. The focus of this workout is to promote muscle balance as well as strength and endurance gains through exercise variety and balance challenges. We use the stability ball quite a bit in this workout to create this added balance challenge which in turn promotes even greater muscle recruitment. It's important to point out that when using a stability ball you should use a lighter weight than you typically would for a given exercise since the unstable environment makes the muscles work harder to stabilize. As your body gets acclimated this "wobbly" environment you'll find that you are able to gradually increase your weights again.

The soundtrack to this workout is filled with soft rock classics. Here is a list of the songs:

Walking In Memphis
Freedom
Our Friends Are Electric
Breakfast at Tiffany's
In The Living Years
Dreams
Sleeping Sattelite
This ain't a love song
Missing

Keep in mind that for muscle balance we are doing one muscle group then the opposing muscle group. In most cases this is anterior (front) and posterior (back) but when it comes to shoulders we have both anterior (front delt) and posterior (rear delt) as well as superior (mid/top delt) and inferior (lats) which are directly beneath them.

The exercises for Push Pull are as follows:

Barbell Squats (legs with focus on quads)
Deadlifts (legs with focus on glutes/hamstrings)
Static lunge with heel lifted (legs with focus on quads)
Leg Press (legs with focus on glutes/hamstrings)
Bench press on ball (chest)
Deadrows (back)
flys on ball (chest)
Y's on ball (thats the Push Pull picture where we had our arms going back with thumbs up...for upper back)
Inverted shoulder press on high step (top/mid delt)
One arm row (back/lats which are beneath shoulders)
Front raise on ball (front shoulder)
Rear delt raise on ball (back shoulder)
Bicep curls with ball (biceps)
Slow Dips/immediately to kickbacks (tricep)
Outer thigh on ball
Inner thigh with ball
Superman on ball (low back)
Crunches with ball (abdominals)
Calve raises
Tibialis Anterior w/ball (shins)
Full Body Stretch

You may initially find this workout to be easier since you are learning to make adjustments for the new variety, but once you have worked through this, form and concentration is of the utmost importance for optimal muscle recruitment. Feel free to add sets to any of the exercises for an even greater challenge.The DVD version will offer premixes with multiple set options.

Equipment needed: a High Step, barbell, various weighted dumbbells, and a stability ball.
