Cathe's workouts are very challenging. What I do if I haven't been working out at her level for a while, is work my way up to them with beginner/intermediate workouts from other DVDs I have. If you have just plunged into her workouts and are doing nothing else, I am not surprised that it is...

There was a thread recently that asked this very question. Here: https://cathe.com/forum/threads/workouts-while-traveling.309757/

I get all of these comments, but I feel like that if Cathe goes at a certain pace, it is the "ideal" pace for that particular exercise and something to aspire to. If I can't keep up, I just work at my own pace with the particular weight I am at and ignore the pace of the DVD until I can work at...

Based on this article from Cathe https://cathe.com/what-exactly-is-a-metabolic-workout/, I think these DVDs also qualify as metabolic: 1. X10 2. XTrain Tabatacise 3. All of her Hiit DVDs (Hiit, Hiit Circuit Lower Body, XTrain All Out Low Impact Hiit, Plyo Hiit, Hiit Circuit Upper Body) 4...

ckabonick - What seems to really tighten up the midsection for me are circuit workouts with an emphasis on the whole core, which unfortunately means tons of plank work and pushups. Cathe's workouts that feature gliding disk plank-based exercises in particular have really helped me firm up my...

But if such a DVD is part of a full program (like RWH, XTrain, Strong and Sweaty, etc.) please make it optional (like Ride) or provide a suggested alternative to it in the main program rotation. Some of us that have two left feet simply cannot do complicated step routines.

Heh. I think I have been too busy gasping for air during these to even notice the music! ;-) I agree, though. Great workouts that will no doubt improve your running. There is just something about what she says and how she says it that is incredibly encouraging and motivating. "Treadmill...

I'd love to see the answer to this question too :-) I'm going to guess that the answer isn't any single workout, but a rotation combining heavy weights and metabolic workouts like the one from Jan 2014.

The tracks on the Treadmill Coach "albums" are meant to be played in order as a playlist for a complete workout. They are numbered and also shown as "stages". I don't know why she has a warmup A and B, but a complete warmup would be both tracks - A - which is easy and no incline. Then you...

Diane Sue - I had the original Firm workouts when they came out VHS, and they are so funny to watch now. I had the ones with Susan Harris, Janet Jones Gretzky and Sandahl Bergman. And I had one of those original wooden high"Box" steps. (The original high step challenge!) Sadly, an old...

Thanks ladies! I have been talked out of getting FlexTrain. I do also have Afterburn, and it occurred to me that I could probably sub in some of my Firm DVDs too. Those ladies from South Carolina were doing metabolic before it was a thing after all. And how can I resist when they promise...

So I started a full round of XTrain. Today is Day 4: Bi's and Tri's. Will probably make some substitutions in the go of this rotation every now and then so I'm not repeating the same 9 workouts for 90 days! Wondering if I should pick up Flex Train as a sub for Supercuts? I already have LIS...

You're welcome! Enjoy the workouts!

You can download the Strong and Sweaty user guide here: https://cathe.com/sands It includes 4 different rotations.

Diane Sue-Thanks! I am really liking Paul Katami kettlebell videos. Very methodical, clear instruction, which is exactly what I like about Cathe workouts!

IMO, don't worry about what Cathe does. Her standard is and what should be something to aspire to, or even exceed. Poundage used in any exercise is something totally personal. If a weight is too light, you will know it. If a weight is too heavy, you will know it. Adjust accordingly so that you...

Busy day yesterday, but I was able to devote an hour to Crossfire + ab bonus. Today I did the other Paul Katami kettlebell DVD I got on sale. Having some friends over for grilling and pooltime today.

I don't have Amy Ross, but it's on my list! I do like the two Paul Katami intermediate/advanced DVDs I just got. I did the easier one and previewed the other. Great, careful instruction throughout, and he is friendly and encouraging. He has "Kettlebell Clinics" on each of his DVDs, which is...

Thanks Doreen and Diane Sue! Peak Fit definitely does what it says it does - it gets you Peak Fit! That said, I do prefer Cathe's weight work over Michelle's. Cathe is much more deliberate and instructional. And relentless high impact metabolic workouts day after day for 8 weeks is just too...

Late to the party, but I so need to get disciplined with purchases that I don't use. Yesterday I was looking at the Supreme 90 Day series I bought a long time ago that I never used. Just finished up 8 weeks of Michelle Dozois' Peak Fit Challenge (now called Peak 10 Fit Body Challenge) that I...
