Low Impact Series: Afterburn

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 2011

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights) , Gliding Disks


I found Afterburn incredibly challenging and I was dripping with sweat. This is my first experience of a workout that uses weights and discs to raise the heart rate without the focus being on strength building. (I consider myself to be an advanced exerciser and run, teach spinning and do Cathe workouts pretty much exclusively).

I enjoyed the mixture of exercises and the use of the discs. The workout also flew by. I woke up super tired this morning and was able to jump (non impact of course) right in without previewing and I picked up the choreography easily.

I rate this workout a 9/10. I deduct 1/2 point for the cardio being under an hour and 1/2 point for no vocals in the music. I actually felt the music was quite well suited to the choreography, however I would have prefered some of the tracks to have vocals.

Instructor Comments:
To me Cathe excels at this style of "Athletic drills" workout and she was nicely perky during the workout.
