See How Easy XTrain Fits Your Busy Schedule

XTrain has been uniquely designed to fit almost anyone's hectic schedule and there are hundreds of ways the XTrain program can be done. This way you're not limited to just the regular 90 Day program. For example; just like we did in Cross Train Express, each of the XTrain cardio workouts comes with several options to do a short (approx 15 min) single muscle group strength training workout at the end of your cardio workout.


We've even added optional 100 rep challenges to every cardio workout as another strength training option. And of course XTrain also offers multiple body part workouts just like we did in the original STS program, but this time we have reduced the time of the workouts and the equipment needed. So what do you get when you combine kickbutt cardio workouts with effective undulating weight workouts, great music, tons of premixes, detailed chapter menus, and beautiful filming? A system that stands in a league of its own: the XTrain Series!

    XTrain Tabatacise Workout DVD (Tabata high intensity interval training)


    What if I told you that you could get into fantastic cardio shape by doing as little as four minutes of exercise? Sound too good to be true? Not when it comes to Tabata training. Tabata training has been around for a very long time but has recently been gaining more and more popularity in the fitness industry. Tabata training is a short but very intense type of training workout that improves your aerobic capacity as well as your ability to burn fat long after you have finished your workout. It generally consists of eight high-intensity 20-second intervals, each followed by a 10-second recovery. This may sound easy on paper, but trust me, it is not!


    I have created Tabatacise to reflect this type of Tabata training. The workout consists of five different four-minute Tabata workouts. Each of the five Tabata workouts is followed by a step recovery blast. Since your maximum heart rate will often exceed 90%, I have included these recovery blasts to help bring your heart rate down in a more controlled manner. But beware, there is just a teeny, tiny blast hidden in those recovery periods. Because Tabatacise is so tough, I suggest you gradually work up to doing it in stages or levels. With each new level you attempt, you'll add one new additional Tabata to your routine working up to a total of five Tabatas. By the way, you may choose to never do Tabatacise in its entirety which is totally fine, too. Another bonus is that it can be used as an add-on to any of your other workouts when you're looking for a quick, intense bonus challenge to take a workout to a new height.

    Image of DVD cover for Cathe's XTrain All Out Low Impact HiiT workout DVD

    XTrain All Out Low Impact HiiT Workout DVD


    All Out Low Impact HiiT utilizes one of the best cardio training methods for fat loss and muscle retention called HiiT. The HiiT method stands for High Intensity Interval Training and it's known to be one of the best ways to burn fat and lose weight because it increases your body's metabolism long after your exercise session has ended, not just during it.

    In All Out Low Impact HiiT, I will be challenging you with a workout featuring two short, but super intense, low impact segments. This makes it very versatile because you can do both workouts back-to-back or choose to do just one or the other on days that you are really short on time. The first low impact HiiT high intensity segment uses no equipment other than a set of light hand weights. The second high intensity segment uses a step and gliding discs along with the set of light hand weights. Both workouts feature a high fun factor along with the perfect amount of intensity.

    I'll tell you right now, you'll find yourself reaching for this low impact video time and time again!

    Image of DVD cover for XTrain Super Cuts workout DVD

    XTrain Super Cuts Workout DVD (Metabolic Circuit Workout)


    With the growing popularity of metabolic workouts, I've designed Super Cuts to provide you with a unique low impact metabolic circuit workout that mixes functional training with compound exercises, dynamic movement, variation of exercise sequences, angles, movement patterns, rep speeds and equipment use. You'll keep moving from exercise to exercise in a unique undulating approach with very few breaks in between. The sequencing keeps the heart rate fired up while shedding body fat and shaping muscles. A light and moderate set of hand-weights, resistance tubing, a firewalker loop and discs will get you super cut in no time.

    Image of Cathe's XTrain Legs lower body workout DVD

    XTrain Legs Workout DVD 


    Legs includes new and traditional exercises scrambled in ways that will surely leave your lower body worked. This program has a great mix of standing leg work, stability ball work, barre and floorwork exercises, effectively sequenced to keep the fat burning and muscles responding. Your glutes and thighs will definitely be feeling this today and probably still talking to you tomorrow! Enjoy the workout in its entirety, or if you are short on time, select one of our shorter premixes to get the job done.

    This workout also includes an optional Bonus Rear Delts workout so that you can put a little additional focus on your rear delts with a few different exercises. I've included this option because studies have shown that your posterior delt is usually the weakest of your delt muscles and this causes shoulder imbalance problems as well as joint and posture issues.

    Special Feature

    A 100 Rep Challenge is included on this video featuring the glute hip thruster. Believe it or not, research has shown the hip thruster to be one of the most effective glute exercises you can do, yet most people have never seen or done it. So get ready to experience the benefits of this exercise by paying close attention to my form pointers as I talk you through it.

    image of Cathe's XTrain Hard strikes kickboxing workout DVD

    XTrain Hard Strikes Workout DVD


    Hard Strikes is an outrageous boxing-infused cardio workout that mixes basic boxing combos with intense cardio work. The punching combos are fun and easy to learn, but by no means easy to do. Some kickboxing is included in this section but the primary focus is on boxing. Once the cardio segment is complete, you'll continue with boxing specific conditioning drills that will make you look and feel like a champ. A bonus heavy bag section is included with the premixes for this workout to enhance your boxing experience as well as give you the means to strike even harder and more effectively.


    You'll see us wearing 12 ounce boxing gloves during the entire cardio boxing segment (in addition to the Bonus Heavy Bag section). While it is perfectly fine to do the cardio boxing segment without gloves, I strongly encourage you to wear them. You'll be amazed at how this ramps up your boxing efficiency and overall workout intensity. As with any workout, you get out of it what you put into it so follow our lead and strike hard!

    image of DVD cover for Cathe's XTrain Cardio Leg Blast workout DVD

    XTrain Cardio Leg Blast Workout DVD


    Cardio Leg Blast is super charged with both cardio and strength exercises that build lean muscle mass and burn body fat like an incinerator. It consists of traditional weighted exercises followed by plyometric exercises to develop power and explosive strength as well as tight and toned legs. The key to this workout is finding a moderately challenging weight for each of the strength exercises (versus a super heavy weight) so that your legs have the proper recovery time and ability to jump right into the next plyometric drill that follows it. The beauty of this powerful workout is that it revs up your metabolism for hours long after you've finished your workout. You'll develop superior overall stamina in addition to lean muscle and shapely legs.

    image of Cathe's XTrain Burn Sets workout DVD

    XTrain Burn Sets Workout DVD (strength training and toning)


    This XTrain workout consists of two traditional upper body, heavy weight workouts: Chest, Back & Shoulders and Bi's & Tri's. This workout also contains options for working individual muscle groups for those of you that want and need a shorter workout. In Burn Sets you'll work each muscle group in its entirety before moving on to the next. You'll usually do three sets for each exercise with a goal of around 10 reps for your first and second sets. On your third set you'll always lift to failure. After your third set you'll do a Burn Set Finisher to really feel the muscles heat up. 

    You'll need to use heavy weights in this XTrain workout and I suggest trying a weight that is about 75 to 80% of your one rep max. If your selected weight is too heavy or too light during your first or second set simply grab a more appropriate weight for any remaining sets, making sure that you lift to failure on your third set. Lifting to failure is perhaps the most important requirement for developing strong and toned muscles.

    image of Cathe's XTrain chest,Back, and shoulders strength training DVD

    XTrain Chest Back and Shoulders Workout DVD (strength training and toning)


    I've designed this intense upper body strength workout to focus on exhausting your chest, back and shoulder muscle groups with very little rest between exercises. In order to effectively reduce the rest needed between exercises, we will be working in eight rounds. Each round consists of one set for chest, followed by one set for back, and finishes up with one set for shoulders. You will continue to repeat this sequence throughout your workout but use a different exercise each time you hit your chest, back and shoulders. By not repeating any exercise throughout the program, you eliminate boredom and increase mental awareness.

    You'll also see us taking notes to record our selected weight(s) throughout the workout and I encourage you to do the same. This way, the next time you do the workout you can make it even more effective!


    Here is how the program works: You'll need to use heavy weight(s) in this XTrain workout and do between 10 and 16 reps for each exercise. I suggest first trying a weight that is about 70% of your one rep max and make adjustments as needed. Keep in mind if you can easily do 16 reps for any exercise you should select a higher weight the next time you do this workout. Likewise, if you can't do at least eight reps you should consider lowering your weight.

    Finally, and I cant stress this enough, in order for this workout to be effective, you need to select a weight and resistance tube that challenges you for each and every exercise while still maintaining good form.

    Image of Cathe's XTrain Bi's and Tri's strength training and toning DVD

    XTrain BI's and Tri's Workout DVD (strength training and toning)


    Bi's & Tri's is an intense upper body strength workout that focuses on exhausting your biceps and triceps muscle groups with very little rest between exercises. In order to effectively reduce the rest needed between exercises you'll be working nine rounds. Each round consists of one set for biceps followed by one set for triceps, and you'll continue to repeat this sequence throughout your workout using a different exercise for every round. By not repeating any exercise throughout the program we eliminate boredom, increase mental awareness and stimulate muscle fiber recruitment from a surplus of angles.

    To get maximum benefits from this XTrain arm program you'll need to use heavy weights and do between 10 and 16 reps for each exercise. I suggest first trying a weight that is about 70% of your one rep max, and make adjustments as needed. If you can easily do 16 reps for any exercise you should select a higher weight the next time you do this workout. Likewise, if you can't do at least eight reps you should consider lowering your weight. Remember, in order for this workout to be fully effective, you need to select a weight and resistance tube that challenges you for every exercise while still maintaining good form. You'll see us taking notes to record our weights and I encourage you to do the same. This way, the next time you do the workout you can make it even more effective!

    image of Cathe's XTrain Ride indoor cycling DVD

    XTrain Ride Workout DVD (indoor cycling)


    Ride is the ultimate zero-impact, fat-burning indoor cycle workout. It consists of eleven motivating songs that each take you through a specific riding profile. You'll start with a warm up, and then depending on the song, you'll stand, sit and hover your way through various hills, flats, jumps and sprints. You'll conclude the workout with a relaxing recovery ride before you begin your stretch. Ride burns an unbelievable amount of calories while additionally conditioning your core and lower body. Be sure to have water and a towel handy for this workout. You will need it!

    I'll of course be giving form pointers along the way, but it's still important that you understand the basic safety rules for your specific bike before attempting this workout. I want to remind you to review your bike's owner's manual to make sure you know how to adjust your bike so that your ride is more comfortable.

    Julie McKinney from Danville, CA United States 
    I recently completed the 90 day undulating rotation and not only do I feel like I'm in the best shape I've probably ever been in in my life, but I feel like I learned a ton in regards to form.  
    I saw strength gains in every aspect, can now do some push-ups on my toes, increased my lifting weight in all areas. And have much more endurance in cardio.  I was never bored repeating any of the workouts because of the way she changes them up.  I enjoyed knowing what was coming the next day, and how long the workout would be.  That way I could psyche myself up for it and be prepared to go at it. The best part, about two months into the program, my husband actually commented that my "behind" looked a lot tighter and toned.  I think that says it all!

    This is a fantastic bundle that leaves no body part untouched. Nothing is repeated so every workout is different and time flies by. I'm in week 7 of the 90 day Undulating Program, and my endurance and strength gains have increased two fold.
    Shorter Length, Very IntenseMay 5, 2017
    Reviewer: Christie Batten from Fairfax Station, VA United States 
    I love that this is [Xtrain All Out Low Impact HiiT] right at the 40 minute mark for the primary workout program. The 3 segments are fantastic. The first one is super intense, really has me huffing and puffing. My personal favorite is the second one as it incorporates weights and the step. High energy but fun and easy to follow.  I also like the short disc routine too! Ok, I love it all. I feel the burn in the legs mostly for the main workout. What really takes this up to the next level for me is all the bonus material focusing on the upper body and the core. I almost always do a premix that tacts one or more of those on. These features turns this workout into a near-full body activity right at an hour in length. And the 100 rep challenge was exactly that!! Thanks so much Cathe and Cr

    I agree fully with several other reviewers (So Sore, Nichole)that this is a super fun, no dread workout where the time flies by. My favorite music of all my Cathe dvds. I love the idea from the reviewer who does the heavy bag moves with just weighted gloves and no bag. Very effective!
