Cathe Friedrich''s High Step Training DVD

Beginners do not try this at home. This workout is vintage Cathe: Heart-stopping cardio, and tough weight work, topped by Cathe''s friendly demeanor and excellent cuing. This dvd utilizes the High Step, so this workout is perfect for exercisers that lack a lot of space. You will need a loaded barbell, and a medium/heavy and light set of dumbbells (Cathe uses 5 and 10 lbs).

The workout is an hour long, but you will be so busy, time will fly by. There are five cycles, each containing cardio and weights.

Cycle one:

Cardio followed by Legs and Triceps

Cycle two:

Cardio followed by Legs and Shoulders

Cycle three:

Cardio followed by Legs and Biceps

Cycle four:

Cardio followed by Legs and Back

Cycle five:

Cardio followed by Legs and Chest

Finally, you enjoy a well-deserved stretch.

The legwork consists mostly of Leg Presses (followers of the Firm workouts will be familiar with these) mixed in with another leg exercise. For example, in cycle one, leg presses are followed by barbell squats; in cycle two leg presses are followed by plie squats.

Modifications are shown for some exercises, and you can always adjust your step height and/or weights.

This dvd contains premixes (cardio only, strength only, cardio and upper body, cardio and lower body, etc.) for those who are short on time or want to focus on a particular body part.

I recommend this dvd for someone who is familiar with weight training, and with Cathe''s cardio workouts.

I have been working out 5 days a week (about an hour) for 4 years now. I''ve done the "Crunch", "kathy Smith" and "buns of steel" various workout tapes. They''re not a challenge for me anymore. So I took the plunge and bought this video.

Cathe is an incredible trainer. This is a perfect full body workout. It was super easy to follow and the moves are challenging but easy to do. You''re sure to sweat during this workout.

This workout is perfect for those that have mastered "crunch", Kathy Smith" or anything similar. TRUST ME! If you need a challenge, this is it.

I''ve worked out with Cathe for about 6 months now, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite workouts. It combines cardio with upper and lower body in a 60 minute circuit workout.

The cardio bursts are short but intenseexpect to jump, do Power 15''s, fast feet shuffles, spike lunges, etc. Lower body work well, let''s just say, I hope you like to do leg presssince you''ll be doing it A LOT. There are a total of 6 sets of leg press on each leg. Also, Cathe inserts some static lunges and squats, among other moves. She does hover squats with pulses of 16 over the high stepyour quads will be feeling the burn, there! Arm work includes typical weighted and non-weight work, such as tricep dips off the high step, push ups, bicep curls, overhead extension, etc.

Overall, if you''re looking for a challenge and a new circuit workout to shock your muscles, this is the workout for you. Beginners, bewareyou can modify certain exercises (I use dumbbells instead of a barbell) but this is more for the intermediate or advanced exerciser.

Read Best Reviews of Cathe Friedrich''s High Step Training DVD Here

I used to be an avid "Firm" exerciser. nothing could beat those videos...until I met Cathe!! She is unbeleivable! I am not into step aerobics. I just can''t do all that fancy footwork. I love all of Cathe''s dvd''s that emphasize muscle conditioning. This workout rocks! I don''t have her high step, I use the fanny lifter from the firm. This dvd gets your heart rate soaring! I mainly use the premix section on my leg day. I prefer to do upper body on the days that I go for a run. This dvd I use on leg days and it combines lower body muscle building with cardio. I can hardly catch my breath! Worth every penny! If you don''t have a barbell you can just use dumbells.

What can I say about Cathe''s DVD? Except it is a wonderful workout like all the others! She really gives you a great workout for the money! This one has Cardio and strength mixed in. The Cardio portion will get your heart rate up and the moves aren''t too fancy. She does work your legs ALOT in this one! I was expecting to be sore this morning..but I did some nice yoga afterward... my biceps are sore though! I would strongly recomend this DVD. If you are a beginner do use lighter weights though! Like all the others I really enjoy her DVDs!
