Cathe Basic Step + Body Fusion step aerobic Workout DVD
I have been doing keep-fit/aerobics for about 11yrs now at home. I have done various American DVD's,as I prefer these to the one's we have here in Britian. I recently over the last six months or so started doing Cathe's workout's and I find them extremely inspiring,motivating(I have high boredom factor,Cathe is anything but)especially this first of her's that I got.
I was not new to the step,but each instructor has their own way of doing things,even so I find her to be excellent on communication,funny,humourous and easy to explain each routine without any fierce complicated moves.
For anyone new to Cathes DVD's,I would thorougly recommend this one for starting point,I started doing this workout about 3months ago and have now moved onto some others of hers as well as ordering another one(!!), I will altogether have 3 and am already thinking about future ones!!
Excellent!!

Cathe Friedrich's Cardio Fusion DVD workout video exercise dvd
At first, I thought this video had too much of a "mixed tape" feel: a little of this, a little of that....but after a few workouts, I'm finding that this is great for a long cardio day. You keep your heart rate up without getting bored by endless routines. And the drills are intense!
My husband is healthy, fit Marine, and even he was feeling the intensity on the drill section. He said that a lot of her moves are the types of exercises that the Marine Corps is now adopting as part of their physical training program. He is very impressed with the quality of the workout. Frankly, I just find Cathe and the rest of the gang a whole lot of fun to follow along to.

Body Max 2 DVD
This is an unbelievable workout. I am an avanced exerciser/group fitness instructor. Just did the " scrambled eggs" workout...LOL..they should call it "scrambled LEGS"!!!! Video is a great investment, w/all the options of premixes etc..sure is a keeper!

Hardcore Extreme DVD (from the Hardcore series)
These workouts are great, definitely hardcore cardio! Lots of impact so it can be a little tough on any sensitive lower body joints. I feel so accomplished after pushing myself to finish any one of the 70 minute sessions. Great choreography of course keeps you from getting bored and takes your mind off the fact that you are about to keel over!

Cardio Hits DVD
I just got this video and did it for the first time and it was so much fun and I didn't even realize how long I was working out for. It was really fast and not at all boring. The music was great too. I have been doing step for at least 15 years or more. I think this video is one of my favorites.

TPE Non Latex Stretch Bands
Before purchasing Cathe bands, I had used a generic latex stretch band. Cathe's bands are much stronger & therefore give you a better muscle challenge. For example, I had done what I thought were fire-walkers using the generic band. In comparison to Cathe's bands, the fire-walkers with the generic were more like pilot-light walkers! What an amazing difference in the exercise once I started using Cathe bands. I highly recommmend!

Terminator DVD (from the Intensity Series)
This is an excellent workout - even tougher than boot camp which is my other favorite. The only problem with this dvd is that it is truly clips from other original workouts. This makes it a little choppy in some places and she cues that it is the last blast when you're really only half way through the gauntlet which isn't very nice :-)

2 lb. Weighted Gloves
Just so you know, these are 1 lb each. I mistakenly bought these thinking they were 2 lbs each.

Fitness Gloves
I should have read the item description more closely as I thought these were lifting gloves and they are not. There is no padding in them. The packaging says "cardio" gloves.

Cathe Friedrich's Gym Style Legs workout and exercise DVD
I have used this a few times now and absolutely love it! It works my legs from every which way and has them shaking by the end. I am very happy with the purchase. Cathe is really amazing!

Low Impact Circuit DVD
I did this for the first time today and am hooked. I only will have time to do it on the weekends, but the premixes will let me do other variations of it during the weekday. The step routines are effective and basic. Right now I need low impact. The weight circuits are challenging enough and love the band work. This was truly fun to do and I enjoyed the music also. There just is not anyone as great as Cathe to workout with.

10 LB. MaX-Vest
LOVED the concept, HATED the vest. Not stable, shifts around. this vest should have 2 straps, the one it has on top and one to secure it around you on the bottom. Not a fan. STILL LOVE CATHE THOUGH!!!!

Cathe Friedrich's STS - Mesocycle #1 muscle endurance workout video exercise dvds
I just finished Mesocycle 1 and I can't praise it highly enough. I've never been one to follow rotations but I had no trouble sticking with M1 for 8 weeks. I chose to do the 6 month rotation because I'm a bit older and I hadn't worked out consistently in over 5 months, and I felt this would better prepare my tendons and ligaments for the heavier weights in mesocycles 2 and 3. This was clearly the right decision for me and I saw improvements in both my strength and endurance, and it gave me an opportunity to tweak my form. There is so much variety in the workouts that I never got bored. Some footage is repeated on multiple discs but the transitions are so smooth that it's barely noticeable. This is just what you'd expect from Cathe; very well done, very high quality production. And please don't let age deter you from buying this set. I'm 54 and I'm handling it just fine.

Butts & Guts DVD
I have literally been working out since I was 5 when my mom brought home the Jane Fonda workout tape. I'm a workoutaholic and think of myself as being able to push myself beyond beyond the breaking point.
Cathe's butt and guts pushes me wayyyyy beyond my breaking point. It took me several tries before I could finish the video. I still need more breaks than are allotted.
Cathe is hardcore!!!!

Full 90 day strength trainingExercise Program: Full Body Exercise Routine & Total Body Workouts with STS and Cathe
I'm a runner who has been doing Cathe's workouts for about 7 years now. I purchased the STS series with the hope of gaining more strength and increasing endurance to assist with my running training. The STS series is just like having a personal trainer in your own home. I couldn't do 2 pull ups in a row when I started but was able to do 2 sets of 12 and 1 set of 8 by the end of mesocycle 2. I was so excited. To the nonexerciser, this doesn't sound like much, but to me was a HUGE accomplishment. Love it love it!!! If you want to see results and have the discipline to work out TOUGH in your own home...this is for you! Thanks Cathe...you rock!

Cathe Friedrich's Stretch Max workout DVD
This is a very thorough stretch series that limbers up the upper body as well as the lower body. It's a slow pace that allows you to get a deep stretch without being strenuous like some yoga stretches are or going to quickly like many stretches that are tagged on at the end of a DVD. Any of the 3 programs are fabulous finishers to Cathe's Gym Style workouts; the very key to maintaining flexibility during strength training. Relaxing and refreshing!

Cathe Friedrich's STS - Mesocycle #1 muscle endurance workout video exercise dvds
I liked this set of DVDs. It provides enough variety and steps it up a notch. Pros: The workouts are challenging (you can always increase weight). All exercises have been labeled and are easy to follow the reps and timing.
Cons: I think the reps are a bit short, 16 at the most. I think for endurance you could go to 24. What I really didn't like about it was that it seemed like they are the same 3 DVDs(#1 Chest, Shoulders and Biceps #2 Back and Triceps #3 Legs ), just repeated 4 time in 4 sets with minor variations. Ex: all the 4 Leg workout DVDs are almost the same(except for the 10 minute bonus), the only thing that's different is your %RM. She could have just told you to increase the weight by 5% every week but instead, she reproduced almost the same DVD just asking you to increase your weights. I think that is a marketing scheme which I really didn't care for. It's too expensive if you are really getting 3-4 hours of really new material but paying for 12hrs.

I was very sceptical about purchasing/commiting to STS, but once I made the decision to commit, there have been no regrets...only results. Great routine, give it a try...you won't regret it.
