5.0 out of 5 stars Tough and effective :-(), August 18, 2006

This review is from: Cathe Friedrich's Core Max DVD (DVD)

This is about my 7th workout of Cathes and it's great. It's tough but it's going to give you amazing results if you do it consistantly. On the DVD there are three different types of workouts. There is classic floor work, abdominal workout using a stability ball and also a workout with a stability ball and medicine ball. It's fun and gets easier over time.
All of these ab workouts are going to tone you up and flatten you out (if you do a lot of cardio too). She is a great instructor and she cues well so you know what's coming up next. If you want a toned tummy, you need to eat right, do cardio and use this DVD for a fantastic ab workout that you will feel. It's great.

I watched CATHE doing her routine on TV and thought it'd be nice not to have to deal with commercials. I really like her workouts and this CD series is set up nicely in three separate segments....on mat only, with stability ball & with stability ball and a medicine ball. All three segments provide a serious core challenge. The CD provides an intro so that you know what each segment will be like. You can then chose the type of workout you want. All definitely provide a serious core workout! I thought the workout on the mat was going to be the easiest... wrong! She makes you use those core muscles to their optimum. I personally like using the stability ball with the medicine ball segment on the days I do my weight workout...gives me a sense of doing a well rounded routine. It's tough, but well worth the effort.

This review is from: Cathe Friedrich's Core Max DVD (DVD)

I caught Cathy Friedman on FitTV one day and then I recorded the show the next time it was on. I finally got sick of fast forwarding through the commercials and bought the Core Max DVD's and the Ab Circuits DVD. They are both incredible. The workout is so intense that I cannot get my very athletic husband or his brother to try it. When I started I could not make it through every exercise, but with practice and doing it 3 times a week for the last 10 weeks, I have lost 2 inches in my waistline and have no sign of the "meno-pot" I was starting to get. I have several herniated discs throughout my entire spine and these workouts have actually strengthened the muscles around my spine and I have much less pain. I have a note on my FB page that her DVD is the best ab routine I have ever done. I was in the Navy for 24 years and did 2 tours with the Marine Corps, I worked out all the time and this is still, by far the most effective ab routine I have ever done. You will not regret this workout, just stick with it and you will not believe how hard your abs will get!
