A Joint Friendlier Way to Work Out!

Until now you have always had to choose between High Intensity Cardio and Low Impact Exercise workouts, but now you can get the benefits of both in the same workouts with Cathe’s revolutionary new Low Impact Series featuring Joint Friendly Premixes . No longer will joint pain stop you from enjoying the high intensity workouts you love. You can Pre – Order Cathe’s new workouts starting May 1st as  either a Limited Edition DVD set (one DVD case will hold all of the DVDs in the set) o r as digital downloads.  You can also order the standard Low Impact set which does not include Cycle Max or order the Deluxe set which does.

It’s Time to Put Some “Fun” Back Into Your Workouts With 10 New Cathe Videos!

AfterBurn: Based on the principle of HIIT training, AfterBurn is an all out high intensity low impact HiiT workout that so many of you have been looking for. The main advantage of HiiT workouts is the increase in the body’s metabolism from this type of training continues on long after the exercise session has finished, not just during it. This effect is known as the after burn and hence the name for this fat blasting workout. Are You Ready?

Cardio Super Sets: A high intensity low impact workout comprised of unique cardio supersets. Just as you do super sets with weight training, Cardio Supersets follows the same plateau-busting concept. But now instead of weights, its 100% pure low impact cardio!!!! Get ready to blast off fat with this super charged calorie crushing workout.

Athletic Training: This total body low impact circuit takes fitness circuits to a whole new dimension. Be prepared for nonstop action using the original health club step (have extra risers on the side), a set of light and heavy dumbbells, a firewalker band and a pair of Slide and Glide discs. Depending on the exercise you’ll vary your step height anywhere from 4 to 12 inches in height while you challenge your body both on and off the step in a variety of challenging ways. You’ll do compound exercises along with isolation exercises, work the upper and lower body simultaneously and separately, do low impact cardio with and without discs and bands, and even throw a superset in here and there for complete exhaustion! You will think very differently about low impact when this workout is through with you!

SLIDE AND GLIDE: Hold on to your hats because we are going to Slide and Glide into action.full speed, low impact, high intensity action, that is! Yes, indeed, this 60 minute workout simply never slows down. Each time you complete one of the workouts segments, the next segment picks up with yet another invigorating challenge. After a solid 20 minute super intense, low impact, cardio slide and glide segment, you’ll do sculpting leg work that not only burns the legs but keeps the heart rate pumping too. You’ll finish off with a Slide and Glide upper body and core strength challenge. And guess what? You’ll do all of this with nothing but your Slide and Glide discs and a mat. Think its impossible for it to hurt so good? I invite you to join us and see for yourself!

Low Impact Challenge: This highly contagious ALL STEP workout will have you tapping your toes from the warm up straight through to the cool down. It features a high energy rocking soundtrack along with super fun choreography that keeps the impact low, but the fun factor and intensity WAY high!! Oh and did I forget to mention that this joint friendly workout burns major calories and body fat too? What more could you ask for?

Turbo Barre: If you don’t already own my Turbo Tower, feel free to use a chair to participate in my invigorating Turbo Barre workout. This results oriented low impact workout focuses on strength, flexibility, and high energy fun. Expect to combine elements of pilates, yoga, ballet, drizzled with some light cardio work for the ultimate lean and long total body strengthening workout. Light hand weights, a Turbo Barre (or chair), a Firewalker Band, Slide and Glide discs and a 6 foot long resistance band are used to help you burn fat, calories and lose inches.

Total Body Trisets:This total body strength workout will focus on exhausting all the major muscle groups through the use of weighted trisets. A mixture of compound and isolation exercises will be uniquely grouped to set your muscles on fire. Expect to work at 60 to 80 percent of your one rep max range which will definitely inspire a cardiovascular bonus. In other words you will huff and puff while you shave your body fat down! Deal? I thought so!

Yoga Max/Yoga Relax: Whether you like your Yoga workouts intense, relaxing or both ways, this DVD lets you have it your way . As you might have guessed from the titles, Yoga Max provides a more invigorating workout that will take you deeper into stretching postures as well as strength poses that seamlessly flow from one move to the next creating a graceful cardio strength challenge. Yoga Relax, on the other hand is for the yoga lover who seeks a soothing workout which focuses on gaining flexibility, refreshing the body, and calming the mind. The relaxing music will help melt away stress and relieve the tightness in the hamstrings, hips, shoulders, and more. So grab your mat and get Max’d or get Relaxed!

CYCLE MAX: Are you ready for the ride of your life? Well let me take you there with a rocking soundtrack and a calorie blasting indoor cycle workout.. Consider yourself the rock star of your living room as you burn countless calories, shape and define your legs and glutes and become one sweaty mess. This is the ultimate Zero impact fat burning indoor cycle workout and once completed, you’ll wring out your shirt to prove it!

  • Boy, if you could just feel my heart beating with excitement and such great expectations!!! THANK YOU Cathe!!! There is something for all fitness levels and you always know just what to bring and at the right moment. Cathe you are a pioneer in the fitness industry!! It’s an honour to work out with the best!!!

  • I can’t wait! This morning before checking your site, I sent a text to my friend saying that I hope you include a yoga workout in the Low Impact Series. I was so excited to see that there are 2 yoga workouts in the series. I am so looking forward to doing these workouts.

  • These workouts sound fantastic, the variety and the use of the Turbo Barre is so exciting! I’m preordering all for sure!

  • Yoga! I just fell in love with power yoga a few months ago, and now i try to do it once a week. Can’t wait to do yoga with you, because of course you’re my fave!!!!!!!!

  • I’m with everyone that wants to do yoga with cathe. I am so addicted to your workouts and was going to have to buy a yoga dvd that wasn’t you because you didn’t have anything and then i got online and found that you are bringing out not 1 but 2 yoga dvd’s. Yah for cathe.

  • I’ve been waiting for a joint friendly series from Cathe for a long time! These sound great particularly the Yoga and Turbo Barre!

    Thank you Cathe! You truly are the best!

  • Thank you for your sincere words!!! I’m so happy to hear your excitement and enthusiasm. This series will not disappoint!!!! Get ready to get fit and sweaty!!!

  • I am a huge fan of Cathe’s and can’t wait to preorder. One question I have is if you will be issuing any of these workouts separately at any point. I am eager to spread the activity around to my friends!

  • Boy, that plus the free slide and glide discs plus the 15 off coupon and free shipping off $100 order make this pre-order fabulous!

    After the pre-sale the 9 DVD set will be $202 plus $20 for the discs!

    To anybody who has never done a pre-order, do not hesitate!

    Cathe keeps us updated during the entire filming and production process — right up until time the DVDs come out for delivery!

    I have done every pre-sale Cathe has ever had and I’ve never been sorry I did so!

    p.s. No, I don’t work for cathe.com 😀

  • When will we be able to see the previews? I would prefer to view them before pre-ordering. Thanks!

  • I am a Catheoholic…love everything she does…An inspiring teacher motivator- made me love fitness…..really happy on this new venture…when can we see film clips?

  • I cant wait! Yea, this time I’ll pre-order because I always make the mistake of waiting.

    Anyway, I hope Cathe comes out with more videos with guys in them. Not only because they’re pleasing to the eye 😉 but because it is actually very motivating to exercise to workouts that are even challenging for guys. Plus, it would motivate more guys to workout to Cathe’s dvds as well. Just a thought.

  • I’m so excited, I can hardly wait. I have always ordered pre-sale, and I, too, have never been sorry. I just hate the wait!!!! When is the presale over?? Also, I am very excited about the Barre workout. I was just going to order another DVD for ballet for proper posture and form, and low and behold, Cathe has one!!!! How cool is that??? She must be a mind-reader!!!

  • I am very interested in the high intensity low impact option. A few questions before I leap in:

    Gear:
    I’ve just got rid of a skips-worth of junk and so am a bit wary of filling my house up again.

    Please clarify the gear needed that is needed for this package. starting with:

    weighted trisets workout: what do I need: or is this just a term to describe a series of three different exercise sets (using dumbells or not?)

    slide ande glide: the mat described at the end of the blurb: what does the mat look like? is it like those used in those slide rebok classes that used to be held about a decade ago? or is it just a yoga mat?

    cycle: will any staionary bike work? or a real bike using an ipod and a country road, or is a real spin bike needed.

    the chair as barre-substitute is welcome!

    lastly, are you able yo provide indicative times for each of the DVDs in the package (this has been done for only a few)

    ditto post earlier including one of two guys in the vids- helps me pursuade my kids (boys) to join in . but please make sure they are regular guys not too beefcakey. I also like to see the inclusion of all body shapes in your dvds too,

    many thanks – your responses to these questions above would be very much appreciated.

  • Can’t wait to receive these new DVDs! I always buy the presale and. as others have posted, have never been disappointed. I’ve been working out with Cathe for 21 years and look forward to many more!

  • HI i love working ourt with Cathe, I have a question.
    i am interested in purchasing the new low impact set, i am looking to see how many minutes each dvd is. could you let me know. thanks anne

  • What a great deal for all these workouts! Thanks so much Cathe for adding a Cycle workout too! Wheeee! Every workouts sounds amazing. I can’t wait!!!!

  • Have already pre-ordered these and can hardly wait until they arrive. Am seriously looking forward to AfterBurn!! Thanks Cathe for always keeping it fresh!!

  • This is EXACTLY what I need Cathe!!! I have bursitis in my hip which makes it impossible for me to do high impact without pain – so thank you, thank you. This gives me hope for staying in shape – I have felt at times like giving up but not anymore!! By the way I was introduced to your workouts on FitTV years ago and have loved them ever since!

  • These videos sound great! Are there clips of the videos that can be previewed before purchase?

  • The pre-sale is only for the complete set which is being sold as a limited edition box set at over 50% 0ff and includes a Free set of Discs. The box set will no longer be sold after the pre-sale, but you will be able to buy the DVDs separately for $22.97 each.

  • Cathe…..I’ve been doing your workouts for 15 years now. I have always loved the high impact, but now that I’m getting older, my body is not liking this. Just before you made the announcement of these video’s I was wishing for a lower impact series & now my wish has come true. I’m so excited about this series. Thank you & please keep on inventing newer ways of working out which you are so great at doing!!!!

  • Love the descriptions and variety! Will you have video previews soon? I would love to preview these before purchasing.

  • Cathe….I have now been working out with you at the comfort of my flat for five years now. I am excited for this low impact/joint friendly serie coming. i have not got any joint problem so far but i am looking forward to swapping for low impact twice per week. I would like to suggest a mix/match or premixes on each muscle group Back, shoulders,Biceps, Triceps, legs….Some of us, including me, have to work certain stubborn muscle group harder. It would be easier to pick straight instead of forward through an upper body premix. It would be great to have it for The triset DVD coming…Thanks you again for changing my life, keep up the hard work!!!

  • How about a combo selection for people that don’t want to or CAN’t do it all? I have back issues and don’t do yoga, bike – I have 3 or 4 I would love to have as a combo, but don’t want to buy all individually.

  • You will be able to buy the individual DVDs for $22.97 each once the Low Impact Series is released. With any 10 pack there will always be some videos that you love and use often and others that you hardly or never use. Our Pre-Sale offers a savings of well over 50% plus you get Free SNG discs, so it may be worth your while to take advantage of the Pre-Sale. But if your still on the fence it’s best to just wait until the new DVDs are released.

  • I have been working out for 25 years now. I turn 50 this year and I have been looking for more joint friendly workouts but, with intensity. I was in a bad motorcycle accident in 2009 I injured both of my feet and now have arthritis but, it has not stopped me from working out I just modify the exercises. Your new workout series is just what I have been looking for. I am looking forward to working out with you every morning.

  • Teresa:

    If you look at the S&G Discs you will see that there is a black covering on them. That will protect your floors while giving you that “slide factor”. For people like me that will do the workouts on carpeted floors, take the black thingy off and we’ll get the “slide factor” as well.

    Fitness Friend,

    Teals

  • Just from the previews, I can see that Cathe really out did herself on this one. Doing a burpe-esque type move with the S&G Discs, is genius. I never even considered that.

    The moves in the preview clearly indicate that Cathe put a great deal of thought and planning into these workouts to make them high intensity but low impact, yet fun. I have Low Impact Step but I don’t do it very often. It’s effective, especially the blasts, but I get pre-workout dread and then the boredom factor kicks in during the workout.

    The description of the new workouts and the video teaser make me confident that I can give my knees a break and still get the fun, butt kicking sweat fest that Cathe is known for. She’s always ahead of the pack when it comes to her workouts. That’s what’s kept me buying and doing her workouts consistently over the past 15+ years.

    These new workouts, while joint friendly, seem to be sequenced and choreographed in a manner that is going to take me to a new level of “sore” (or soreness for you grammarians out there). I’m looking forward to it.

    Fitness Friend,

    Teals

  • I preordered the DVD set, but I would like to upgrade to the DVD and download combo.does anyone know if it’s possible to make this change and how to do it?
    Thanks!

  • Sue, I upgraded my order to include the downloads. Contact customer service and Nancy can help you. I was only charged the price difference so I didn’t have to place a whole new order.

  • Cycle Max Question for Cathe – I’m new to cycling and am wondering what kinds of features are necessary for a good spin bike? For example, I’m looking into the Proform Tour De France (for my husband) or the Proform Upright Spin bike. Any guidence would be much appreciated!

  • Will all the dvd’s have pre-mixes? I really love the pre-mixes so I can use various workout times depending on how much time I have from day to day.
