5.0 out of 5 stars Red Hot & Hardcore!, November 25, 2005

This review is from: Cathe Friedrich's Hardcore Series: Hardcore Extreme DVD (Misc.)

I hesitated to pay $50 for my first Cathe workout DVD - Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance - but it was so worth the money that I bought another one.

This DVD is a definate cardio challenge - it should seriously push any experienced persons limits. I was surprised how sore my legs were - especially my calves - without using heavy weights.

I would definately recommend having a cushioned surface to work-out on because there are a variety of jumping sets on this DVD. I found the cushioning really saves my knees and lower back and that I could jump higher. (I bought a 4x6 mat that breaks down into 2x2 squares and that has worked great.)

These $50 Cathe compilations give you so many exercise routine options that they are a super deal. Keep in mind that this is a solid cardio DVD - aerobics, step and cardio kick boxing - if you don't enjoy an hour of challenging cardio this would not be the Cathe DVD for you.

Although there is no price difference between Amazon and Cathe's website, when ordering through Amazon, the Cathe DVDs/Videos are shipped Priority Mail. On Cathe's website USPS is not an option so they won't ship to a PO Box. If you live outside the continental US their only shipping options are 1 or 2 day air so Amazon is a significant savings on the shipping if you live in Hawaii.

5.0 out of 5 stars My body is whopped., July 15, 2005

Cathe does not take the interpretation of "hardcore extreme" lightly. This DVD is hardcore in the most extreme form. It is for any fitness diva, or even dude, who is in dire need of a good, hard, effective workout. It's definetly not for the begginer.
I've noticed some serious results from this dvd combined with her Coremax dvd. I can't wait to get the others. I never get bored, and I am always sore and pumped up!

This review is from: Cathe Friedrich's Hardcore Series: Hardcore Extreme DVD (Misc.)

As I've said about Cathe in my other reviews, she's tough and always uses a no-nonsense approach. She is one of the best instructors there is and she's very motivating.
This workout is broken into three workouts from the most challenging segments from some of her other dvds. So therefore you may have seen some of these before, but it's going to be more challenging to your body because you are still 'shocking' the muscles when you do it in this new order. The first workout is aerobics/toning intervals, then a very high energy cardio, and then the last is tough step aerobics and kickboxing standing on the floor and off the step.
This will make you sweat. It's not for the unfit, and it's intense enough to do twice a week in conjunction with lighter cardio workouts. This is a great routine to do before a big event where you want to put your metabolism into high gear. I love it and do it (honestly enough) twice a month.
