I just got the book and am going to try Freestyle with my Cathe workouts. Does anyone else follow this and what dvds are you using. I have almost all of her dvds, except butts and gutts and gym style legs. Now I'm thinking I might need to purchase them. Plus I have all 4 Jari Love DVDS. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

I've done this in the past. The best ones to use for freestyling are Gym Style and Slow & Heavy series.

Here is a freestyle rotation with Cathe workouts that I have followed. You could use any of Cathe's leg workouts as long as you decrease the weight to about 70% of what you normally did. As freestyle is about low weights and high reps. In this rotaion I also did my upper body more than freestyle suggests for upper so you can take those exerises out if you are just focusing on legs. ..HTH...

Running is my main cardio, but you can sub any cardio for the running. With freestyle I think you only need to do 5 days with a 30 min cardio workout.
My freestyle exercises include, calfs, rear lunges, front lunges on a step, squats, plies squats and walking lunges. I normally do 4x20 reps.
Since freestyle focuses so much on lunges whenever I do a Cathe workout with leg presses, I sub rear lunges for the leg presses. You can sub any weight workouts for the ones I do. I work my upper body different than freestyle suggests for upper. Most of the time I go heavy on upper and try for shoulders, bi's & tri's 3 times a week and chest & back 2 times with the exception of the circuit workout I don't go heavy in those. I try for abs 5 times a week and calfs 4 time a week.
