Cathe Friedrich Forums

I've avoided buying any of Cathe's compilation DVDs b/c I have all of the individual workouts she uses in the compilation DVDs. But now I'm pre-ordering the new workouts and I want to bump my order over $99 so I don't have to pay for shipping (I'd rather pay $30+ for a DVD than $12 for shipping by itself!).

So 2 questions for you all:

1) Which compilation DVD is your favorite?
2) How often do you incorporate it into your routine (is it worth it)?

TIA everyone!

I love the Terminator DVD- all 3 workouts are fabulous. Also, Body Max 2 has lots of good comp options.

I have Hardcore Extreme - I hardly use it as is - except for the high/low intervals. I wish I had the Terminator DVD it looks fun and like tough workouts. I have also read that Cardio Fusion is killer - but I don't think there is any weight work in it. Good Luck!

I think the Terminator is the best one. It is 3 compilation circuits. If you like circuits, you will be in heaven. Timesaver isn't very good. Hardcore extreme is too hard. I have just ordered cardio fusion simply because I love the 3 DVDs its made from and want to mix it up some more. It has some shorter premixes on it. Hardcore extreme is just too long and hard.

I like the Terminator the best.

Cardio Fusion is great, but there is no weight work in it.

I like Timesaver and use it quite often.

I do not like Hardcore Extreme. The editing seems choppy and while I love the Hardcore series, this one never grew on me. I ended up selling this DVD and I almost NEVER sell any Cathe DVD.

I seldom use them though.

And I don't care for Hardcore Extreme at all.

The Terminator is fantastic if you like the use of weights and cardio. IMAX Extreme is really tough and you get weight work with the Gauntler and Viper.

It is a very good compilation video set -- and a great value since you get 3 workouts on one DVD.

The Terminator is my favorite compilation DVD

Another vote for the Terminator. All 3 workouts are long and tough. I think IMAX Extreme is my fave of the 3. I waffled on buying this one for a long, long time, and am glad I did. I don't use it a lot, but it's got a lot of bang for the buck. Love it!!
