Is it just me......

I feel like cathe's last 2 series (Low Impact Series & X-train) are her best workouts EVER!!!!
and really work the legs??????? even the cardio's seem to be leg based. I love it!

Happy Friday everyone Have a great weekend

Not just you!

I couldn't agree more, especially about the leg part. I love doing these workouts and how they seem to slim out my legs. They have a fun factor to them, making them funtastic programs !

Have a great day!

I totally agree about the legs! I feel like her low impact workouts really force you to work the muscles in a way that high impact doesn't and I love it! I will often do one leg workout and one of her low impact workouts in a given week, with both giving me lower body DOMS!

I agree. I just discovered Cathe in April but most of my favorites are the newer ones. Love the Low Impact Series and, after Xtrain (which is my all time favorite), I adore CF and TTM.

I totally agree about the legs. I have to be careful in my rotations to make sure I don't burn my legs out The split body UB workout really help break things up for me.

I completely agree with you!!!

I didn't get the chance to do Low Impact Series when it was first released per Dr's orders so I am now just getting into the workouts. I actually made the STUPID choice of selling my preorder set because I wasn't sure I'd have the ability to use them; thinking my FMS would be too sensitive for quite awhile post-pregnancy. Now that I am recollecting them, I am absolutely in love! I have to say that even the STS TB Series (the 4 workouts- do they have a nickname other than the Devil Series... which I hate that term) was amazing! These low impact workouts have amazing premixes and my gosh the leg work in all of the cardio is doing wonders for regaining my strength without inflamming my arthritis. I remember reading elsewhere that a lot of people were disappointed when LIS was released; I stopped reading and searching for reviews this summer so I don't know the general feeling of XTrain. Now that I am using the workouts, I don't know how anyone can be dissapointed with Cathe's work with these! Even those that love the longer workouts get bonus tracks they can add on to increase the time to well over 60 minutes. Those that need 20-30 minute options have then and with XTrain- it goes down to 13 minutes!!!

I will say that I used to dread Cathe's leg work. Gym styles was always my favorite weight lifting series, but I never did the legs and opted for step work instead. Since starting LIS and soon XTrain, I ADORE her lower body work! Cathe, keep these great workouts coming. I am no where near advanced in my fitness levels anymore, but even I am able to make these series fit my needs and am seeing huge improvements in just 2 weeks with 2 LIS workouts per week.

The production quality on these new/newer series are outstanding!

Somehow I keep on reaching for CF and TTM for both full workout and mostly premixes.
Most of recent cathe's workout whip the legs really good.

Other series are also effective HARDCORE, intensity etc...
IMHO cathe has incorporated barre workout recently not just because of the trend. Functional legs workout are also important.Combining both barres, pure weight lift (deadlift, lunges and squat), and plyo legs ( which are my sweet tooth ) is the key to gaining results.

The key is to make changes in rotations/routines regardless of the fact it's cathe's rotation or our own.

I agree. I have to say the lower body work is much more balanced and well rounded. You get both explosive and endurance training in the same workout which helps vastly in all areas of life. I think it will help me to improve my 5k time without additional training methods and additional practice. I'm looking forward to what my times are in April, June, and November just doing Cathe's workouts. It's an experiment of sorts.
