PHA Training DVD (from the Strong and Sweaty series)
I liked this workout, but I found not working with the beat of the music annoying. I had to keep looking at my tv screen to keep with the pace of Cathe. It took away from me concentrating on the move. If she wasn't going to use the music, why have it at all? Or, why not change the music to fit her pace for the particular exercise? I think next time I do this one, I will turn OFF the music. Cathe, in the future, please keep the music relevant to your workouts. Thanks.

Fit Split Series - 4 DVD Series
I hate to say this but I don't love this series. I love the concept. It's very much like the 4 day split but the music was so not motivating and the moves very similar to old workouts. I had to turn off the work out half way and yes, I tried 3 of the 4 new workouts all with the same result. I also REALLY miss Amanda. I'm all for new stuff but I prefer the tried and true HIIT series, Xtrain, and 4 Day Split, Gym Style Series, Shock Cardio Series, ICE, and Strong and Sweaty. I have been working out with Cathe since 2000. I honestly would highly recommend her monthly service for $19.99 where you can have access to all her workouts and even work out with her at her gym. Best $20 I've spent in my life. This gives me the chance to sample all the new workouts before I want to purchase on DVD. I actually enjoy the Cathe Live workouts better than this series and the music isn't that great on those workouts either. Mostly because she does new moves and different types of workouts.

Fit Split Series - 4 DVD Series
I have done Cathe videos since around 1994. This series is like the original Crosstrain Express on Steroids. It is a little more intense than ICE but it is very doable by high intermediate/advanced levels There is not one workout in t his series that I dislike. I love them all. This series has brought back the fun and enthusiasm for exercise I needed! I was becoming bored until this series came out. Great music and lots of intense fun! The cardio is perfect because it does not leave me spent. I have the energy for the very intense weight workout that follows! Thanks Cathe! This is one A++++ series!

Cathe Friedrich's ICE Intermediate workout and exercise DVDs Discount Bundle
This is my all time favorite Cathe series. It is both intermediate but also advanced. Don't let the word intermediate fool you! This series is for advanced exercisers too! If you are an advanced level there is plenty of ways and extras to keep you interested and challenged. I have done almost every workout Cathe has done (even back to her original Step n' Motion) and this series is my favorite of any!
I am so ready for another Low Impact/Ice series! I hope Cathe considers a follow up series to ICE again!

Party Rockin' Step Workout #1 DVD
Awesome step routine. If you just want to do a step routine with no push ups and no jumping jacks this one is for you. It took me five times to figure this routine out. I am a slow learner. Once you do it is so fun. Cathe is Wonder Woman!!! I don't know where she gets her ideas, but she is totally awesome!!l Cathe will always be the gold standard. If you love the Step, you will love this one like me!!

Low Max DVD (from the Hardcore series)
Highly recommended if you don't want to do fancy step moves. This DVD will get you really sweaty! I have done it on one risers instead of the recommended two risers and I still get sweaty! Thus DVD have low impact moves, but the step blasts are hard, but you can do it! Cathe is an awesome instructor on this DVD and does all the moves with you!

Cathe Friedrich Great Glutes Lower Body Leg and Glutes Workout DVD For Women
I love Cathe and own over 30 of here DVDs, but I was really disappointed with the DVD. The majority of the workout was doing a variety of squads and lunges instead of doing mostly exercises that isolate and work the gluts. While squads and lunges do work your gluts, they actually work your thighs more. After doing the whole workout I was very disappointed because I felt my thighs got more work than my gluts. So the workout title and description is very misleading.

XTrain All Out Low Impact HiiT DVD
I cannot believe I have not written a review yet! I love all the X-Train workouts and been doing them since they came out, but this is one of my favorites. It is great for everyone of every level -- you can do less if a beginner or increase intensity if advanced. I also love how it is broken up into three separate workouts. Great for days when you are busy. This is probably in my Top 10 all time Cathe favorites.

Cathe's Workout Classics Volume 1 Step Aerobic Workout DVDs
I love that Cathe calls this classic. The g-string bodysuits kind of give this away. It is old. I think the Step Jam came out in 1996! However, this will give beginners a place to start. For those nostalgic for the simple 90's workouts and for those just getting back in shape , Step Jam and the others will get you to a place where you will be fit enough and coordinate enough to try her more current and more difficult workouts.

Cathe Total Body Giant Sets Workout DVD
This is an AWESOME, total body workout. You are alternating leg workouts withing the upper body workouts, which keeps your heart rate up, giving you a complete total body workout. The exercises are both old and new, but the sequencing is different. I love the added burn on the end of the workouts using the resistance band, Cathe never disappoints. I'm so happy I ordered the Strong and Sweaty series. I hesitated since I have STS, but her approach on this series is VERY different, so you get a new variety of strength training. This keeps me from getting bored.

Cathe ICE To The Mat Legs & Glutes Lower Body Workout and Exercise DVD
This is a great workout! I love working legs, but having arthritis in my knees, sometimes I would like to work my legs without the stress and impact on my knees that cardio and standing leg workouts bring. I grab this workout when my knees hurt and it's time for legs, or when I want a more concentrated leg workout. Even though it's a floor workout, it is still Cathe strong and challenging. That's what I love about Cathe, she doesn't make anything that is not a challenge. This workout works all of your leg muscles and you'll get a good burn, perfect routine for toning and strengthening.

Lift It Hit It Back, Biceps & Shoulders DVD (from the Ripped with HiiT Series)
Along with the XTrain workouts, this is one of Cathe's finest, in my opinion. I just did this workout for the first time, and the finishers make it incredibly thorough, while keeping the workout under an hour. The biceps sections is AWESOME, and the look Cathe makes at the camera after the first set of concentration curls as she shakes her arm out tells it all! My arms have NEVER felt this loaded after a biceps workout- I will be reaching for this one often and am excited to see where it will take me! Highly recommended!

XTrain All Out Low Impact HiiT DVD
I love that this is right at the 40 minute mark for the primary workout program. The 3 segments are fantastic. The first one is super intense, really has me huffing and puffing. My personal favorite is the second one as it incorporates weights and the step. High energy but fun and easy to follow. I also like the short disc routine too! Ok, I love it all. I feel the burn in the legs mostly for the main workout. What really takes this up to the next level for me is all the bonus material focusing on the upper body and the core. I almost always do a premix that tacts one or more of those on. These features turns this workout into a near-full body activity right at an hour in length. And the 100 rep challenge was exactly that!! Thanks so much Cathe and Crew!!

XTrain Burn Sets DVD
This is, IMHO, one of Cathe's BEST weight workouts- getting two for the price of one makes this an incredible value. The only downside is that the workouts took me a bit of experimentation to find the exact weights to bring me to failure, but once I did, I have found this to be one of the most effective and FUN workouts I've ever done with Cathe and crew. Great music, sequencing, and both under an hour- you can't go wrong with this one! The regular XTrain upper body workouts are great too, but these take it to the next level.

Boot Camp DVD (from the Strong and Sweaty series)
What the first reviewer wrote is true. That said, it's easy to pause the video and add in the cardio (it's very straightforward). Not ideal, but not a big deal. Aside from the defect, this workout is awesome! It quickly became one of my favorites, having a place in my rotations every week. For some reason, the workout goes by super quick, but it's a great workout all around. There's no repetition, easy to follow and challenging but doable.

Cathe's High Step Circuit workout and exercise DVD
I love this one! Cathe is well known for creating super challenging advance style workouts. It's nice to know what she considers 'beginner/intermediate' to better calibrate those advanced workouts. This is a great gateway 'drug' workout into Cathe. (Plus, between us advanced exercisers, its nice to occasionally feel ahead of the class in a Cathe workout ;) ) If you are a seasoned warrior, just keep the step height to the top. I think they have it at 12 but mine goes to 14. Keeping it there really cooks me. Also, carry more weight than what she's doing. (Again, it feels nice to be a head of the class). Even with doing all that, it was hard to get the ab targeting exercises up to an advanced level. Just something to keep in mind if you are thinking you can amp this one up. Either way, this is a great workout for beginners to advanced (if you make it so). Thanks Cathe and Crew!!!

Boot Camp Circuit DVD (from the ICE Series)
What a great workout! Creative, flows well, cues on point, and I love the explanation on which weights are being used and the instruction on form. I can't tell if this one is my favorite in the series or not, I love them all! Nice work Cathe and Crew!

Cathe ICE To The Mat Legs & Glutes Lower Body Workout and Exercise DVD
I really appreciate that this isn't a cardio style workout, which is fantastic when you are not in the mood to get the heart racing for 40+ mins. That said, I absolutely still break a sweat with this one. I love the standing and floor work combos that use tools like a balance ball and bands, they keep things interesting and focused. These moves burn too!! A couple of them I have to work up to the # of reps she does. I'm soooo close! Thanks Cathe and Crew!!
