Terminator?

I love this DVD. I have the entire Intensity Series and didn't pre-order and ended up paying full price for this DVD and have no regrets.
I consider myself a high intermediate/low advanced exerciser. I can get through most of Cathe's advanced cardio, with modifications.
This is an amazing DVD. It is a combo of all the intensity series except the Pyramids.
I love them because there are days when I want to use the Intensity series for cardio and weights but I can't decided which one I want to do. If I put in a terminator workout, I can use three of the Intensity workouts at the same time.
They don't have any ab work and they are long so they are best saved for days when you have lots of time and energy.
IMHO the workouts are advanced but a high intermediate could defintely do them. Also, if you have any of the intensity series workouts, you are already familar with the choreography and strength segments, so it's not that hard to "jump" right in. You can also skip around and make the workouts shorter if you want.
It's definately a good investment if you are a Cathe fan.

I just did The Gauntlet from the DVD yesterday. I love all three workouts on it! They flow really well, and you have plenty of time to change weights and such. They are longer and intense, but definately doable. This is one DVD that I am glad I bought, even though it is a compilation from other DVDs I have, because of how the workouts are combined and how well thought out and balanced they are.

DVD chaptering - Cathe Friedrich: The Terminator
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This DVD contains three “parts” workouts compiled from IMAX2, Cardio & Weights, Boot Camp, and Muscle Endurance. There are no ab/core work segments on this DVD. Each segment has a chapter number, so you could use this DVD to program your own circuit workouts. There are no additional premixed combos on this DVD. The footage on this DVD includes:
* all of IMAX2
* most of Cardio & Weights (all but the heavy upper body work and abs)
* about half of Boot Camp
* about half of Muscle Endurance
Cathe uses dumbbells for all of the CW compound exercises. For BC or ME exercises that can be done with either a barbell (bb) or dumbbells (db), I’ve indicated whether Cathe uses a barbell or dumbbells for that segment.
The Gauntlet
This workout contains six cycles of: one IMAX2 interval, one BC lower body exercise, one CW compound exercise, one BC upper body exercise, and one BC cardio segment. The intervals from IMAX2 include the step, interval, and recovery segments (sometimes the recovery is cut short!).

* The recovery time for interval 4 is only 15 seconds. For some reason, it was cut short! The recovery time for interval 10 is only 10 seconds.

Note: for the BC segments, you’ll only be doing the exercise itself for about 60 seconds.

Thank you all so much for your responses!! It was such a great help!
I am a big Cathe fan...so I can't wait to get it!
I play alot of competitive soccer, and the cathe videos really give me such a great workout and keeps me strong and my cardio strong too!
I've been doing the Cathe videos for about 1 year now, and my strength on the soccer field and overall fitness level has improved! Gotta thank Cathe for the wonderful workouts!
Thanks again for all your help! I'm definately getting the Terminator! Sounds perfect for days that I want alittle variety and get the strength training and cardio still needed.
