Travel Fit DVD
Although, it's not one of Cathe's toughest workouts, it is a nice change of pace. In order to benefit, I suggest buying Cathe's bands and using the most difficult band and challenge yourself. As Cathe says,"you get out what you put into it," this workout is one of those.

Intensity DVD
I was so excited to get new Cathe cardio and Intensity does not dissapoint!
I've done Intensity in its entirety twice and both times the time just flies by. Usually exercise time is the slowest time known to man - but I could't believe each time I had worked out for an entire hour. Not because it wasn't challenging, but because it was diverse and fun. I encourage everyone to buy Intensity!

High Reps DVD
I received this workout in the mail a day ago. It is my favorite strength training video now. It is very well sequenced. Cathe gives you time to get the equipment. My muscles were thoroughly worked to fatigue. The back segment is amazing. I loved doing the one arm rows with the band and weight-it got deep into my back muscles. I also really loved the sliding lunges!! They are a killer! Even without the weights they will work your legs. I could not even do all the reps and a paper plate works great. Cathe just keeps on getting better even though all her workouts are wonderful!!!

Fitness Gloves
Not sure what's up with the bad reviews? I've been using a pair of these gloves for weight lifting for the last couple years. I love them! I usually take a size medium in gloves, and medium in these gloves fit my hand fine. These gloves are perfect for workouts such as Cathe's "Bootcamp" and "Circuit Blast". They work great for workouts with a strong cardio aspect, as they are light and let the hands breath, but still offer a good amount of protection. I love them so much that I plan to order a second pair.

Intensity DVD
I love this dvd. It's a great cardio, but not a tradional Cathe cardio dvd. I love all the premix options and this workout will keep your heartrate up. I esp. love the step portion because just when you think your going to get a break, she keeps going. Then Cathe lets you know after 20 mins. that it's going to get harder!!!! WOW!!!!

STS Total Body DVD
Holy cow! This is a great workout. It definitely replaces Muscle Max as my new favorite total body strength workout. I usually can do Muscle Max with some pretty heavy weight, and I'm not usually sore the next day. I know that means I needed to switch things up and this video surely did it for me. I was sore for two days straight after this one! Just awesome! Even my hubby likes this one. I don't have a sliding disk, so instead of using a paper plate, I decided to just do one-legged squats for that section. No biggie. Also, I don't have the turbo tower, but found that it was not necessary (nor is a pull-up bar necessary). One little complaint: there is not much of an abs section, so make sure you really focus and hit it hard, because it is short. You may want to add Core Max or some other favorite ab workout on the end. But that is only a minor flaw, the rest of this rocks!!

Intensity DVD
Love, love, love this new dvd! It offers quite a variety in each of the segments not to mention a really good selection of premixes. Intense is the perfect word to describe it as it had my heart rate up the whole time. I would highly recommend this dvd....I actually think it may be my favorite cathe dvd!

Lower Body Blast DVD
This workout had me feeling it where I wanted to. It also is a pretty fast moving workout. You go from one exercise to another without a lot of time between. You don't do 3 sets of an exercise with a 30 second rest between sets. The only time you do multiple sets is where you switch legs. There are also some cardio blasts in it. As result, my heart rate, while not cardio high of course, was a little higher than some other weight workouts-it was perfect. The sliding disc exercises are great. This is a very challenging workout. You will feel the sting. The pace of this workout, the sliding exercises, and other things make this workout different than Cathe's other lower body workouts. It is a wonderful addition to Cathe's library. It is one of my favorite weight workouts already.

STS Push Pull Tower
This is such a cool piece of equipment and worth the price; great idea, and it is perfect for a home gym. The poster that comes with it shows some nice exercises and stretches; it will totally help me reach my fitness goals - well, that and Cathe! Thanks, Cathe!

10 LB. MaX-Vest
My husband got this for me. I had a Walkvest before and it really disappointed me. It didn't fit well and it slipped all the time, not to mention you have to order extra weights. This vest has it all!!! Great fit and a full 10 lbs of weights. I love it and use it every single day.

MMA Fusion DVD
I probably would have given this 3.5 stars, but there wasn't the option. I think it's a good solid workout. I think the new moves are what makes it more on the advanced side, not the cardio. It also has a bit of a bootcamp style feel.
I normally like to split my cardio and strength training into different days, however, a new schedule doesn't permit that. So, I've been mixing up my workouts a bit and this one has been a great addition.
Granted, the pure cardio moves alone aren't going to get your heart rate up the way KPC does. But, the add-on moves, like adding a side jump pushup are what get my heart rate up. I love it when you can get in strength moves without equipment.
I don't have great hip flexibility and bad knees, so there are several moves I have to modify. Even with modifications, I feel like I get soemthing out of it. I do hope that as I do the workout more, my flexibility will improve.

MMA Fusion DVD
I love kickboxing workouts and am a HUGE fan of Cathe's Kick, Punch Crunch. So when she came out with her MMA series, I was very psyched. However, I just don't think the MMA workouts (Kickboxing, Fusion and Boxing) deliver on the cardio. In my opinion, the punch/kick combos are too tame.
I also think that the conditioning drills at the end are just not challenging. For example, the Superman punch is about as difficult as standing on one foot.
This feels like a beginner workout to me. I ended up giving this DVD to a friend of mine, who's an avid Cathe fan and works out a lot. She really likes this video and finds it challenging. So maybe it's just not for everyone.

Athletic Step DVD
This is a good workout. Very fun to do. It gets your heart rate up there. On a scale of 1-10 I'd say mine was about 6. There isn't a lot of repitition and the choreography is fun and challenging but very learnable. The only complaint I'd have is that it is too short. It is only 39 minutes from the warm up through the brief cool down, but not including the stretch. I really enjoy this workout!

Athletic Step DVD
I'm reading the reviews and its mixed but I'm still getting this. There are workouts Cathe has that's stated as hard that I find easy and easy ones I find hard- all depending on my mood, fitness level, and the number of risers I use that day. Even a Cathe easy DVD is WAY better than some of the stuff out there and I am very grateful for a Cathe easy some days.

Step Moves DVD
This is a fun workout because the choreography is fun. The steps are challenging to learn, but learnable. However, it doesn't get my heart rate up to even moderate. It is also a very short workout-including the warm up, it is only 39 minutes of cardio. I was very disspointed in this workout. So, choreography wise this dvd is fun, but for a good workout where you burn lots of calories, get your heart rate up, and pant, this dvd isn't good. I like good fun choreography, but would rather have my heart pounding. Wish there were some blasts in it between the step combo's. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give the choreography a 7 and the heart pounding factor a 4.

Low Max DVD (from the Hardcore series)
The choreography may seem complicated at first but once you've mastered the workout is very fun and challenging. I suggest the user go through the entire workout as many times as necessary just to get a feel for the choreography. practice and determination is all it takes and you will reward yourself for completing the workout without scratching your head.

Step Moves DVD
I ordered the entire series of shock cardio dvds and was very excited to try it. This dvd does not make the cut. I would return it if I could. It lacks Cathe's usual energy and innovation. The music is not motivating and the moves are lackluster.

MMA Kickbox DVD
I have never felt kickbox was Cathe's high point. Kick Punch & Crunch is an awesome workout, but they went downhill from there in both intensity and creativity. I have to use weighted gloves with them to get any cardio going. On this one I am mostly bothered by the title. My husband has been kickboxing for 12+ years. We enjoy UFC, MMA, etc. This workout does not resemble MMA (mixed martial arts) at all.

Cathe Friedrich's Circuit Blast workout video exercise dvd
This dvd incorporates Cathes usual moves in a good way. I like the length of the workout but wish she would do less "jumping" excercises, try some new cardio moves and incorporate more weights. I really enjoy her older boot camp + muscle endurance workout and prefer to do half of it (about 30 minutes) because I think it is a better workout with more variety.

STS Push Pull Tower
Yeah, I know I'm a few years late to this party, but my sister finally talked me into getting the Push Pull tower. I'm doing an STS rotation starting in a couple of weeks and really felt that I needed some sort of bench solution, and thought this looked like the most convenient and inexpensive option.
WOW! I'm nearly speechless I'm so impressed. This thing is just so incredibly well thought out and built. It's VERY sturdy, but at the same time, trivial to break down and store away. The use with the step as the bench is just spot on for the home exerciser (my DH was very impressed with the entire idea and end design). Using it for pull-ups when you don't have another convenient option is also just awesome. And at $129? Or less when she's offering a sale? It's a steal.
It took me about 15 minutes (tops) to assemble it, all by myself, and the simple tools needed for the 4 screws are provided, which was a very nice touch.
Wow. Really, just wow.
