Just because of this thread, I have been checking out clips of HC. It looked so much like what I do with Bob Harper's workouts, that I had to know.... so I ordered Volume 1 the other day.
I just finished it. It's tough, but not over the top. I think Vol 1 must be the easiest of the group, is that right? I can't tell from the clips.
Those of you who like these types of workouts would really like Bob Harper's workouts. Many of the moves are the same. I've been doing his workouts for a while now, so I figure that's why I'm able to do HC Vol 1 fairly easily. In particular, his "Totally Ripped Core" and "Total Body Transformation" are excellent and the most similar to HC.
Now I am thinking I might need the other HC workouts!

JeanneMarie, where did you see these clips? I looked on her website and all I saw was the generic video. But I really need to see how the dvd's are before I invest money.
Thank you!!!

FYI - I just went and checked and the 25% off still worked...I have been reading and rereading all of the posts on this thread, going to the video clips, watching and re-watching them, and hemming and hawing about if I should get them. And if I do get them, which bundle to get....and then I saw that the discount expired yesterday and I was so bummed! Which made me think, I need to just go ahead and order them already! Though, like the rest of you I already have so many dvds (almost all Cathe) and just need more time to do them all (like doing 2-3 a day!).
My abs are not my strongest muscle group, and I am always working on getting better at my push-ups, but I have to admit after reading everyone's posts I am a bit worried about these workouts. I do a HIIT class 3x a week so that has also really cut into my dvd workout time....
Alright, my question is, do I get the 5 dvd bundle with the getting started, and vol 1-4 or do I go ahead and get the 6 dvd bundle that also has the bootcamp workout? Since Colleen says she still has to pause this one (bootcamp dvd), I wonder if I will end up doing this much...there might be too much of a dread factor.

thanks for your opinions on this,

My dvds arrived last night! Not bad, I ordered them Sunday and got them Wed and I live in Hawaii.
This morning I did vol. 2 - I decided not to do vol. 1 because I don't have the weighted bar. Anyone out there who has done vol 1 and doesn't have the bar? What do you do instead? How heavy is the weighted bar? My barbell bar is 14 lbs.
Okay - so what I felt most after this workout (I only finished it ~ 4 hours ago) are my shoulders - though tomorrow that probably will have changed. I can see how there is a lot of room to grow with these workouts - I got through this one without too many modifications - I'll tell you what I thought was really hard was that move where you have your hands/elbows on the step, one foot behind you and the other out to the side (and later bent and raised off the ground! Yowie!) and using a db. This one is one for me to work on!
She is one fit/strong woman. You are right, she doesn't have the polish of Cathe, (her cueing and counting aren't nearly as good) but I am not going to let that get to me. Her workouts are really going to help me meet some of my goals so thank-you for this thread!!!

macbeanur- before I got my body bar I used my barbell bar which weighs about 11 lbs. The biggest difficulty I had with that was the thing was sooo dang long it was really awkward doing some of the exercises! I switched between using the bar for some of the moves (where it was fine to use) and then would use dumbells for other moves. I finally caved and just got a body bar on WalMart.com, but honestly if it's the only workout you ever own that uses a body bar you'll be fine modifying.
I wound up getting all the HC's so I can make more use of my body bar. It's also an excuse to get the year 2 workouts because she uses it again in a few of those workouts, too. I am the queen of rationalizing my fitness purchases! LOL

I just tried this at her website and it did not recognize the code.
