Question Which Cathe workouts push you over your comfort zone?

So far in my Cathe collection, the workouts that pretty much have me begging for mercy are Hiit 40/20 and CCC. They really test my cardiovascular endurance like no other. Turbo Barre is also a real toughie for me, hands down. My legs just tremble and burn and I'm left in complete awe of how challenging simple leg lifts can be. All of Cathe's workouts challenge me in different ways, but those 3 really push me over my comfort zone.

i concur with those choices, but for me i would say also double wave pyramid, and maximum intensity cardio (an oldie but goodie)....that one gets me everytime.....and to a lesser extent than these named, but still gives me such a good butt kicking would be imax 3 and intensity.....i have all of her workouts and there are still a few of the oldies that i have not done, and the newer ones that i have not yet done so this is all for now....i may have more to add once i've done the ones i have not done yet....lol

I definitely agree with CCC - for some reason this one always gets me, no matter how much HIIT training I've done or IMAXes.

My list: IMAX3, Hardcore Extreme. Never tried 40/20 HiIT but that can be added to my list.
Turbo Barre is not bad for me.
Great question.

For me it's Butts and Guts. I do that workout often (work it in once or twice a week for a month, take a break for 4-8 weeks and do it again). The one legged squats kill me but actually more in my hip flexers and those donkey kicks are tough. But that workout is awesome. I just came off one of my rotations with it and went into Afterburn and no DOMS ... unbelievable. Now if only my bottom looked good enough to be worthy of such a performance :-)

IMAX's

HIIT (especially 40/20 on the jump forward, side turn and tuck, back to back)

Cardio Core circuit (the premix with no core)

Afterburn

The first 25 minutes of Athletic Training...especiallly from the hand pumps w/ knee repeaters and on

Leaner Legs

Legs and Glutes...when I get those weights up there

Intensity

All the PLYO LEGS in STS

Maximum Intensity Cardio (an oldie)

Cycle Max

Afterburn and 4DS Boot camp for over all, and Butts & Guts for lower body. EVERY time I do B&G I have DOMS in my glutes! EVERY. TIME.

And ohhhhhhh yes, I LOVE it. LOL

Two oldies come immediately to mind...

Maximum Intensity Cardio

Circuit Max (this was my "puke in a bucket workout" as I also felt nauseated b/c it kicked my butt so much!!)

Thanks Cathe for playing along! It was SO nice to hear your response!

I have never tried B&G. It looks like I should, considering it seems to be the favorite amongst Cathe fans. My next purchase...
