Cathe Friedrich's Timesaver workout DVD
I have probably 100 workout dvds, however, I constantly reach for this workout. The only problem I have with it is which one should I do. My time in the morning is limited, so I usually have time to do 2 of them. They are all great. I don't have a barbell, so just substitute dumbells which works fine.

Gym Style Chest & Triceps DVD (from the Hardcore series)
I decided to complete 4 weeks of this video prior to rating it. I wanted to see if I would notice a change in my definition and strength...I am noticing major changes. It was very difficult to get started, especially using the weights Cathe used, but I am now happy I stuck with it...and will continue to commit to this video at least twice weekly...GREAT Results!!!!

Cross Train Xpress DVD
This is a great series and each workout can be done individually too. I use various workouts from this DVD a lot and it's well worth the price. The workouts are tough, the music is great, and the fun factor is really high. Even the ab/core workouts are great. Love it, love it, love it.

Imax 3 DVD (from the Hardcore series)
Wow! I just did this DVD for the first time and just did one of the timesavers....it was great! Super intense interval training is right up my alley. I don't love long bouts of cardio, and have always responded best to interval or sprint training.

Particularly given the option of doing a shorter 35-37 minute workout, this will definitely be part of my regular rotation. The more Cathe DVDs I do, the more impressed I am!

Cathe Body Blast Series: Supersets + Push Pull Workout DVD
I just did Push Pull for the first time and I loved it. It is efficient and thorough. I can see why intensity junkies might find it less challenging, but I just upped my weights and had a great workout, all in 45 minutes! This is great for those days when you don't want to focus on cardio, but may not necessarily have the time to do MuscleMax, for example. I love that since the time and reps are relatively short, I'll be able to really push up my poundage in this one.

Cathe Friedrich's Timesaver workout DVD
I'm fairly new to Cathe's workouts, and have been doing some of the HardCore series over the past couple of weeks. This week I'm very busy, and this timesaver DVD has been perfect! I get in some cardio, some weights, and all in under 45 minutes. Lot of the DVDs have premixes, but this DVD in particular is exactly what I needed for this hectic time.

Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max Workout and Exercise DVD
This was the first Cathe DVD I did, and I just did a shorter premix, but had a great time - it took me back to my Taekwondo days! I'm really excited to do the whole workout, and the only reason I gave this 4/5 stars was I didn't love the leg conditioning drills...don't get me wrong - they were effective! I just prefer the actually kickboxing style part of the workout :)

Low Max DVD (from the Hardcore series)
Just tried LowMax for the first time yesterday - did the premix with just the combos, as I was still recovering from MuscleMax the day before!

I had a great time with this DVD - I haven't done step for a few years now, and was a bit worried about getting back into it, but I really enjoyed the workout. Cathe's cueing is great, and by the end I was really in the groove. I love that I can do a hard cardio workout without putting any strain on my joints/feet.

My husband poked his head in during one combo and commented on how complicated it looked, but that's just one of the reasons I like step- the patterns keep you thinking and take you through great ranges of motion for your whole body. Can't wait to do it again with the blasts!

Muscle Max DVD (from the Hardcore series)
I just received my set of all 10 HardCore DVDs in the mail this week. I did MuscleMax for the first time yesterday, and it was great! Since I didn't know the DVD very well, and only had an hour I did the 56 minute time saver pre-mix, and was a bit conservative on the weights I used (all while being extremely impressed at the weight Cathe used!). I'm strong, but my goodness! I can't wait to be as strong as her!

It was great to have do a real weight lifting tape - one that encourages you to lift heavy, and explore your limits. Great classic excercises, and superb instruction. I can't wait to do all the other DVDs!!! I bought the set of 10 based on video clips on the website, and all the great reviews. I love that I finally have the option of working out by lifting heavy at home!

No to finally finish my basement so I can develop my home gym even more! Squat rack here I come!

Slanted Risers (pair) Includes Instructional video
I have gotten a lot of use out of these since I got them. Anytime a weight video has something like an incline chest press or incline flyes, I get these set up and they make a big difference. They are stable, which is much better than trying to stack up regular risers at a slant; the regular risers tend to move around. The stability of these makes it possible to focus on the exercise and work harder.

Low Impact Circuit DVD
Cathe is THE BEST workout instructor ever!!! I am so glad I found her for body building, step & cardio!! (I also do power, vinyasa yoga and wanted to add some cross training cardio and weights to it) Her DVD's are superior and like mining gold! This is my first step dvd I've ever done and my gosh is it fun and challenging! The music is amazing and motivating (this is one of many of her trademarks with her dvd's), the choreography for this dvd is simple enough so as not to be confusing to a new stepper but very creative and challenging so it is incredibly fun and sweat producing for a beginner and intermediate. This is one amazing workout and I can't get enough of her!! She is now my go to instructor for my cardio and weights!! AWESOME!!!

4 Day Split DVD Series
My daughter & I have most of Cathe's videos. She gave me this one for my 60th birthday. I love the challenge of the choreography (though I do low-impact it). I don't know whether it is the music, moves or combination, but I am walking taller & feeling happier & more self-confident. Thanks Cathe!!!

Imax 3 DVD (from the Hardcore series)
I LOVE this workout. I am a beginner to step but have a background in dance, so I figured that I would try it. It has taken me a while to be able to do most of the workout. I just modify (use just step, no risers; or longer marching times) and do as much as I can. Some nights my energy level is just not there, so I do just the intervals and don't use the step, I just do the program on the floor. I am extremely happy with this video and am currently looking in to getting a few more Cathe videos. I am a fan for life!!!

Body Max 2 DVD
I borrowed this from a Friend and loved it so much I didn't really want to give it back...so I bought my own before giving it back...

The step segments are really easy to learn and modify if you don't want to do all the impact.

I love the music too!

Cathe Friedrich's Shoulders and Biceps Workout and Exercise DVD
After having a second child, getting into the gym was exponentially more difficult; I decided to give the gym style series a try. WOW - what a plateau buster! All three really broke me out of the rut and helped me drop the baby weight. I love the upper body focus in the series, Cathe really shows how to build muscle, not just tone. It's a fast enough pace to stay challenged, but not so fast that you can't exercise with good form. If you're looking to get stronger, Cathe can get you on target.

Slanted Risers (pair) Includes Instructional video
The Slant Risers are a great addition to the step. 6 inches high and 2 inches on the low end .
I did the cardio the day I recived them, excellent cueing from the tranners, I sure could feel it in the back of
my thighs and glutes.
I hope you make more work outs for cardio it's a nice change.
Today I did the strength traning on the DVD excellent cueing.
Over all : I highly recommend The Slant Risers

I love the heavy weights section and also the use of bands. I also like the short cardio incase you don't have a full hour to do 1 full section. The premixes are awsome. You will never get bored. Cathe is great!!!
