High Step Training DVD
I love Cathe's workouts and own about 20 of them. This one, though, is just not one I like. Too many leg presses. That gets dull after the 3rd set and worse, if you have knee issues like I do, it is just too much. If you have knee problems, I would not recommend this one.

Body Max 2 DVD
I loved this workout! The leg work after the blasts was tough, and I loved that the upper arm segment was mostly done using the balance ball (it felt like I could relax a bit without needing to balance on shaky legs and could concentrate on my arms). The step choreography was fun and easy to pick up, yet still challenging with some moves I hadn't seen before. I enjoyed the music, too, especially a new version of Jesse's Girl. Don't forget the premixes, which make the workout seem brand new every time. The boot camp premix, which alternates between cardio blasts, heavy weights and legs, upper arms, and abs, makes you feel that you are doing a whole body workout every time. I can't wait to try the other premixes. What a wonderful way to start the day! Thank you, Cathe! I can't believe that I'm enjoying exercise so much. :-)

Drill Max DVD
I just got this and the other two (low impact circuit and body max2). I did Drill Max today and wow, what a workout! These are my first cardio dvd's from Cathe. I normally do her lifting ones. I am a college runner and this workout made me work (I also did Butts and Guts yesterday and i am still sore from that). This video definately deserves all 5 stars from me!
You do need a lot of space if you are going to put a lot of effort into your workout when you do the jumps and bounds, but it's so worth it! :) The push ups on the stability ball are very hard and I couldn't stay on the ball from all the sweat making me slip off it.
I was looking for something to tax me completely. I did The Firm workouts years ago and now they seem way too light for me. This workout was just what I was needing. So if you need something new to kick your butt, this will do it!

WOW - both Imax 2 + C&W are such great workouts! You'll work your butt off, and have a great time too. This is definitely a good buy - you won't be disappointed.

Cathe Friedrich's Cardio Fusion DVD workout video exercise dvd
What a tough workout! Up until I bought Cardio Fusion in June I thought IMAX 2 was the most challenging step DVD from Cathe that I could handle. After I mastered IMAX 2 I figured I was 'up for the challenge' boy was I in for a rude awakening! Cardio Fusion is a tough workout but it moves along so quickly you don't realise how long you have been working out until after you are finished. I love the feeling of total accomplishment afterwards. You are so focused during the different segments, sweating like crazy, burning calories and having such fun that it is worth the feeling that your thighs and/or lungs are going to explode! The day I master this DVD is a long time coming but I will be having fun trying to get there! My 2 daughters now encourage me while I am working out, before they'd be yelling 'lift those feet you can't get a piece of paper under them' until I made them each try to do a segment and they found they couldn't, so this 41 year old feels really good about that!

Cathe Friedrich's Kick Max Workout and Exercise DVD
I gave this video four stars only because I love Kick, Punch and Crunch so much and would give that dvd 20 stars if I could. This routine however is every bit as good. Cathe has some great punching/kicking combinations that get you pumped and into a good sweat. The blast are just right as she mixes higher and lower impact into the sequence ( you can make them all low if you like with modifications). I love the leg sculpting segment. It was like being in my childhood ballet classes . My legs burned in a good way and my tush is becoming more lifted. I also feel it in my core, back and arms when I'm done . Cathe's kickboxing technique has come a long way since Cardio Kicks and I am very grateful.

Low Max DVD (from the Hardcore series)
This is a very tough workout!! Do not think for a moment that because this is low impact it is easy. After all, we are still dealing with a drill sargent named Cathe ;). I thought this would be an "easier" workout to add to my daily cardio routines...how absolutely mistaken I was. Along with great cardio, this workout is a great endurance workout for the legs. Love it and can't wait for Low Max 2 (hint hint).

Pure Strength Series DVD
Excellent tape. Cathe encourages to set your own weight. Most exercises 2/3 sets of 10 set at a steady pace with plenty of recovery time. Nothing fancy but it has allowed to go heavier gradually.

High Step Training DVD
What a gem this workout is. I forgot how awesome it is. It works you out real good, the cardio parts get your heart rate up there but you don't feel completely wiped out at the end, you are done in 60 minutes and will be a sweaty mess and feel great. Also, if you love tall box climbs, you will get PLENTY!!

Body Max 2 DVD
This is truly an amazing workout, intense and fun, Cathe does a great job (as usual) keeping one motivated and the premixes are so convenient, I'm so glad I purchased this DVD...just love it!

Butts & Guts DVD
I was afraid to get this video but my behind and abs were only getting worse so I bit the bullet and purchased this video. I am glad I did. I plan to do this video every Sat. morning before 30 min. on the treadmill. Cathe targets the abs and glutes like never before. It's very challenging but doable (stability ball ab exercises can be a bit tricky though but I'm learning to modify). Also, there are some really great premixes that you can use to build upon until you can do the full workout ( or if you're short on time). I purchased my 1st Cathe video 12 years ago and I am amazed how she continues to improve with each new series. God Bless

Boot Camp + Muscle Endurance DVD (from the Intensity Series)
I love boot camp. It incinerates calories. If you like a challenging, fast-paced, don't know if you can finish it type workout, this is awesome.

Cathe Power Hour + Maximum Intensity Strength + Body Max Workout DVD
I've been doing Bodymax on and off for years and I still find it to be one of the most fun, invogorating and challenging step classes around - probably because the tempo on the step portion is quite speedy. The workout in its entirety is intense and LONG. I love to break it up and create my own custom sessions using either the step and/or circuit part.
But one of my all-time favorites is MIS (Maximum Intensity Strength). It's a perfect way to lay a foundation of overall strength and it, too, can be easily broken into sections. Right now, I'm doing a 6 day a week rotation and I use the MIS legs as part of one day.
Power Hour is tough but it also cruises by fast because it continuously moves and it's choreographed to great music. By the time you realize just how cooked you are, it's over! But you will definitely feel it in all the right places later. ;)

Cathe Rhythmic Step + Interval Max +Maximum Intensity Workout DVD
Interval Max is one of my favorite cardio/step workouts because I love to train using sprints/intervals like this. It's incredibly challenging and I doubt if many, if any, people could do it all the way through the 1st time. Or even the 2nd! But it's one to grow with and the moves are simple so you can focus on the work.
MIC is incredible and can easily be split into two separate sessions. I LOVE the step portion so I often pair that with something else (weights or another warm up). This hi-lo is great, just not usually my favorite activity.
But for amazing results and a lot of fun, Interval Max is a sure thing!

Imax 2 + Cardio & Weights DVD (from the Intensity Series)
Step and Weights is the PERFECT home version of a really intense, fun step and sculpt class...tougher than most gyms will ever offer, but always fun. The alternating sections of step and free weights for upper body give you a great balance of aerobic/anaerobic work and the core/abs section at the end is beyond the usual crunches. Innovative and fabulous!

Cathe Basic Step + Body Fusion step aerobic Workout DVD
This was my introduction to Cathe AND step. I bought an set that included this DVD and the small step at a department store on a whim. I am so glad that I did! It's so much fun!!! I have never exercised and gotten an occasional smile on my face during! Cathe has the perfect personality and couldn't cue any better. If you've been wanting to try step or get an introduction to Cathe, buy this. The choreography is easy enough to catch on quickly but doesn't get boring. YOU WILL SWEAT so make sure you have a towel and a bottle of water handy! I now own a small library of Cathe workouts! I don't think that she can be topped.

Cathe Body Blast Series: Supersets + Push Pull Workout DVD
I have now done this workout 3 times and have already felt improvement in certain muscles. The push/pull method is effective and is a timesaver. As far as Cathe's weight workouts go this is on the less intense side and fits in when you want something shorter yet still complete. Hits all the major muscles even some I'd never worked out before - the front of the calves! The premixes are great if you want to increase the intensity by doing more sets. Definitely recommend.
