Cathe is the absolute best at advanced weight workouts. This DVD guarentees to tighten and tone legs & glutes.
Great Leg Workout from Cathe 2008-02-25
This is a great DVD for legs. I have only used the Pre-Mixes so far and can't imagine the pain I'll be in when I finally do the full routine. This is a good change from my standard lower body routine. If you're in a total time-crunch, the 33 min. Pre-Mix is perfect. The 49 min. Pre-Mix does not include Calf-specific exercises. I recommend this video to anyone who wants to do it on a regular basis or as a change from their standard routine. Your thighs will be quivering.
Can hardly walk 2008-02-09
I have a love/hate relationship with this workout. I love it because I know it is working and I can barely walk for two days after but I dread doing it when leg day rolls around because it is long and challenging. I still have yet to finish all of the calf raises, there are so many!
5+++++ Stars workout 2007-08-26
I came across Cathe one morning on FIT TV. I've been addicted to her ever since. I usually workout with one specific person, but I needed variety. I LOVE Cathe's workouts. They are hard but great workouts!!! I would definately add her to your workout collection.
Very tough and thorough lower body workout....

Cathe Friedrich has come up with quite a leg workout here, approximately 67 minutes long, she will fry your lower half with standing and floorwork exercises. A barbell, assorted dumbells, step or stool, a resistance band and a stability ball are the equipment used in this workout.
You start with a well needed warmup, then proceed into the standing portion of the workout. You will start with barbell squats, 3 sets with the third set adding bonus reps. Next you will go into a series of forward and reverse lunges, Cathe goes pretty light on the weights compared to other workouts I have seen of hers, but there are plenty of pulsing reps which will really fry your legs. Following this are plie squats, again using fairly light weights but more pulsing reps which will fry even more. Then you will see a leg press using a resistance band rather than dumbells, which is a nice variation but will get your legs good. Finishing out the set are deadlifts, including an advanced but optional variation using a step for the second set, and a killer set of slow motion lunges. Cathe only uses 5 pound weights but they are slow and torturous, I am lucky if I can complete the set without stopping. Finally you will complete the standing segment with some tough calf work.
The floorwork segment is even harder, if that's possible. She will toast your legs even more with a variety of floorwork exercises using a stability ball and resistance band. She hits it all, inner and outer thighs, hamstrings and glutes. I have only done the floorwork segment once on it's own as I am usually too spent after the standing section to go on, but it's certainly killer in it's own right, very tough.
Overall a fantastic lower body workout that will work your legs to the max. Anyone looking for a lower body challenge will find it here, if not in the standing work, the floorwork for sure. There are also premixes with shorter options if one chooses. 4 and a half stars for this one.
O.M.G !!! ;-) 2006-11-05
Do not think that this workout is going to be easy on you. It's amazing and tough and it will kill. You may not have use of your legs for quite a few days later. It is excellent, but be warned - it's tough.
Cathe is one of the better instructors out there. I've loved so many of her other workouts and this also is good. There are two sections - one is standing toning and the other is floor toning. You will practically work every single muscle you have in your legs and butt. She always cues well so you know what to do next. The part I like the best is the fact that you can play shorter "timesaver" versions of the whole entire workout by using a feature that's on the dvd called a Premix. That way, you don't really have a good excuse for not doing at least 10 minutes or so of some good.
If you are wanting tight and toned legs, this is the workout for you. If you do it with cardio, you'll have amazing legs and you'll soon see a lot of definition in them. That's part of my motivating factor to sweat it out with this great dvd.
