    Imax 4

    for the longest time IMAX 3 was one of my favorite Cathe workouts, but as I get older IMAX 3 gets so much harder to do. I think the next time I do it, I may have to remove the risers. I did IMAX 4 on an 8 inch step and surprised myself. Granted I had to slow down the video several times to catch...

    Step Boss Plank Stacking

    I agree with aqua girl, planks are hard. For me, some are doable and others are impossible. Time will tell which category these planks will fall into.

    Step Boss crew members?

    I enjoy all of Cathe's cast, past and present, but Cedi sure rocked at step.

    *Stacked Upper Body* A+++

    Second time doing this one. I added the pyramid lower and abs. What a workout. For me, this was just a hard as some of Cathe's advanced workouts. I was sweating, breathing heavy, and gritting my teeth. Yes the weights may be lighter, but the pace is quick and the exercises super effective. Loved...

    Cardio party

    Just did cardio party for the second time. It was easy for me but good for those days when I can't do a tough workout. I love the calorie crush, though it will take me a couple more times through to get down the foot work. The abs are tough and no nonsense. And the extended stretch is so perfect.

    Low Impact Series

    Afterburn is part of the LIS and I find AB to be one her hardest workouts. I think the series is definitely advanced. Cathe uses the disks a lot and I find them very challenging, sometimes impossible, i.e. burpees into push ups, traveling planks into push ups. Yikes!

    LITE for advanced users?

    I love LITE and while they are supposed to be intermediate, I still feel very worked out by them. Not everyday do I feel like doing Afterburn (though I will today) or X77. I think LITE is effective, fun, and motivational. The only one I found too easy for me was cardio party, but it was still...

    Bodyweight & Bands

    This is the second time I did Body Weights and Bands. The first time I was sore the next day. I suspect I will be again. This time I added the pyramid triceps and CC and extended stretch. All the moves are tough and effective. The workout moves quickly. It is the first time I did the extended...

    Cathe Friedrich's LITE PHA 2 Workout

    Fast paced, got my heart rate up, sweating throughout. I liked that this workout was short and to the point. Good moves. I was a little sore the next day. I never lift heavier that Cathe, but I did match her weights in this one. I did cheat and do all the push-ups on my knees. I can't do...

    LITE series another winner

    I used to only like high impact workouts, too, but at 54 my back and knees aren't cooperating. LITE is fantastic. I'm sore everyday. I don't know if LITE is my favorite series, but they're workouts I'll reach for often because of the no dread factor, and they are fun, hard and effective. Having...

    Metabolic Blast+6 Pack Abs 2+Extended Stretch

    I did MB this morning and right from the warm-up I was sweating. All the compound moves got my heart rate up. The workout just moved along quickly and the moves were new and effective. I stayed with Cathe's weights. I have never lifted heavier than Cathe. My arms are talking to me, especially my...

    Rev'd Up Rumble

    I did this today and loved it. Right from the warm up and on I was sweating. Fun combos and great music. I wore weighted gloves. I added the calorie crush which was hard but doable.

    Stacked lower Body

    Did this yesterday with the pyramid pump shoulder and abs premix and I'm sore all over today. I worked up a sweat, too. Workout moved very quickly. So far I'm loving this series.

    Ploy HIIT One

    I tried the one armed burpees once and my form was so bad, so I stick to two arms, and I'm still breathing super hard. I realize that I will never be able to do all of Cathe's moves like she does and I'm okay with that. I too think Plyo Hit 1 is her hardest video time-wise. I did x77 last WE...

    Mixed Impact Cardio+Pull Day

    did this one yesterday. I was glad the cardio wasn't too hard because the weight work in these workouts is tough, and I don't usually lift as heavy as Cathe. I don't find these workouts "intermediate" though, as some other super rugged Cathletes do, and I can do all of Cathe's super hard cardio...

    Fit Split Shred Cardio / Push Day

    Did shred cardio today and loved it. But I love everything Cathe does. I agree nothing compares to plyo hit 1 for intensity in such a short amount of time. But it has such a high dread factor for me that I come up with excuses not to do it. And unlike plyo hit 2, I feel the exercises in Shred...

    Boxing Bootcamp+Legs&Glutes+bonus Abs

    Did this today. I was gritting my teeth through the legs portion. Short segment but jammed packed and super tough. I like the fact that I was breathing as heavily as I was during the kickbox routine. I was unable to complete the abs section because the covers on my CATHE disks kept coming off...

    Low Impact Cardio & Metabolic Conditioning Review / Thoughts

    I just finished low impact, metabolic conditioning. I chose this workout because Cherrypie thought it was easy and I'm tired today. It certainly wasn't easy for me! In fact, I couldn't finish the walking planks with knee ins. Gliding disks, pushups and planks do me in. I definitely have room to...
