Lean Legs & Abs DVD
The warmup was good & went fast. Then into compound work w/ 8lb dbs. Moved pretty quickly, good variety, i.e., squat presses, lunges, jumping sumos etc. I think the chair/firewalker band section was next. I loved the quad work w/the chair & the weights, really burns. Then a speedskater firewalker segment. Floor/mat work was next, consisting of side/quad leg lifts w/the band. I did the barre bonus PM & give Cathe an A+++. I LOVED it. Works your quads beautifully, plus your calves. Lots of high & tights but w/variations. Core was great w/lots of variety.

Rockout Knockout DVD
I didn't think Cathe could surpass Hardstikes or K,P,&J, but this one is magnificent. It takes the best elements of all her MMA-type workouts and melds them into a fun, challenging, fast-moving workout. It's not a rehash, there are a lot of new, creative moves. Good warm up that gets your arms/shoulders/legs/core ready---loved that Cathe added high punches First segment is kickboxing---punching & kicking. I wore 1lb gloves and my HR was really high. Second segment, put on your gloves. Dare I say it, but I think I enjoyed this almost more than HardStrikes. It didn't last long enough for me, though. Last segment, 4 combos and all moved at a reasonable, but HR-increasing pace if you put your body into it. I really enjoyed these combos, new combos of punch/kicks & all low impact. I especially loved the last one because it was all punching, no kicks. Cathe showed a new (for me) way of doing hooks, so you have two options

FlexTrain DVD
FT is not easy, so be prepared. All the segments (except for the chest which is drop set pushups on the mat & burpee/pushups w/disks) are tough. I especially felt the shoulder segment, non-stop, I surrender type of burn. Don't be fooled & go heavy because I used 8s like Cathe & was dreading it. The back segment, particularly the part where you use the band, is great. Rows & band Ts. The tricep segment was my least favorite, mostly because I don't like the kickbacks in a plank position (I have to modify to table top). The core segment is great. Enjoyed the variety here--you'll feel it. Nothing special about the stretch, but it's pretty comprehensive. Music was fun and happy.

Greatest Hits Volume 1 Step DVD
Be prepared, this one has a lot of interval segments & power moves. Starts out w/the warm up & cardio section from S,J, & P. It transitions nicely into the 2nd combo (I think) from BM2. I've haven't done BM2 yet, altho I have the DVD, but I had no problem getting the choreography. After that segment, it picks up & doesn't let up. You move into one of the step/drill segments from Drill Max ( fast feet shuffle). I've done DM only once & had no problem w/the choreography in the step portion. Then, you go into the last 5 step/intervals from IM2. Yes, the dreaded interval #9. You end w/the finished combos from Athletic Step plus its short cardio blast. Stretch is from BM2. It was over an hour, & I was drenched, breathless. Transitions were seamless, which had to be a challenge for whomever put together this one. Didn't feel choppy at all. I didn't do the PMs, but the circuit workout sounds like it's going to be a winner, as I love C&W.

Rockout Knockout DVD
This is a great mix of KPC, Hard Strikes and MMA Heavy Bag. I love the variety-kickbox and boxing mixed in with some fun cardio. The music is especially fun in the glove section.

Cathe Friedrich Pedal Power Indoor Cycling Workout and Exercise DVD
This is my favorite of Cathe's 3 cycle workouts. Lots of fast paces in this one. Your quads will be talking for sure. Very challenging with super motivating music.

This is an extremely challenging workout! If you like Crossfire and Tabatacise you will love this one too. My new challenge will be to get through this one all the way through. Thanks Cathe for another super challenging cardio workout!

AfterBurn DVD (from the Low Impact Series)
I am a devoted Cathlete and have dozens and dozens of her DVDs but this is my absolute favourite, #1 DVD. It is PERFECT. It is tough, fun, perfecty paced, has great music, is the perfect length, and is choreographed exceptionally well. I feel totally worked out by the end and have that 100% satisfied post-workout feel when I am done.

Cathe low impact Total Body Training Tri-Sets workout DVD
I adore the Low Impact Series but I finally gave up on this one. It is great and all but the rhythm really bothered me. It kind of lags and I think for me the biggest problem was that you don't workout to the music beat most of the time so I felt kind of detached from the energy of the music/workout. The content of the workout is great and if you don't think you'd have a psychological connection to the music, go nuts! But I just found myself feeling detached and unmotivated. Since I have almost all of Cathe's other strengthening DVDs, I stopped using this one.

Cathe Low Impact Yoga Max exercise DVD
I do yoga at least once a week to get supple and stretch out all the hard work I put my body through doing Cathe the rest of the week. But this DVD isn't it, I'm afraid. I found that it simply didn't include enough variety and so I didn't feel like I got a full-body stretch. All of the moves felt like they were on the same 'plane' if that makes sense--my body wanted to move in more directions and work out more muscles and joints than were in this DVD.

Cathe Friedrich Great Glutes Lower Body Leg and Glutes Workout DVD For Women
Absolutely LOVED this workout! The structure of the different sections: compound work, sliding discs, chair, stability ball, & floorwork really work those hamstrings, glutes, calves, & inner thighs, but the time flies so fast! Magnificent mix of old favorites & new twists for high fun factor, and targeting each muscle to the Max! Still feeling it 3 days later!

I have done this a few times already and love it! I am sweating when done and I like the pre-mixes. Great job Cathe. I'm 50 and in better shape than my 20's.

Lean Legs & Abs DVD
I loved this workout! I was glad there was some new and challenging moves without lots of repetition. Loved that the focus was thighs instead of glutes and if this isn't hard enough you can go do some of the great glutes dvd to get a complete lower body workout. The ab workout at the end was fantastic also.

CrossFire DVD
I do Crossfire's "Extreme" premix on days when I feel like I want a really tough cardio workout. It kills me . . . in a good way. Somehow Cathe catches you before you're ready to give up and lets you catch your breath and keeps you motivated. It's great value--lots of workout, lots of options, lots of sweat! I don't think this can be topped as a straight cardio, non-step workout. Seriously.

FlexTrain DVD
I feel like this is too easy.but it was one of the better ones of the series.Im a die hard CATHE fan but the last few series are too easy..Lots of rest and not burning the muscles like her old stuff.The classic stuff is the best with lots of cardio mixed in.Cathe looked leaner in the dvds only a few years ago..It kind of went downhill after STS series..please get back to the old stuff

Party Rockin' Step Workout #2 DVD
This is by far my favorite step workout. I had a blast the whole time. It was only at the end of the workout that I realized I was thoroughly out of breath and drenched in sweat. This has a "classic Cathe" feel to it (think Step Blast, Imax2, etc).
