High Reps

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 2010

Categories: Total Body Workouts


I really enjoy this workout, though it is probably overkill in terms of how many reps are done for each exercise, especially upper body. But with a name like High Reps, that should be expected, I guess ;)
The production quality of High Reps is excellent: clear picture, nice colors, set, outfits. The music is not what I would pick to listen to around the house or in my car, but it is great music for a workout and I prefer it to a lot of the music on Cathe's newer workouts. It is peppy and works really well with the exercises. I'm pretty sure the music is covers of popular songs--but with the lyrics changed somewhat. Since I'm not familiar with those popular songs I don't find that annoying, but I'm sure that could be a problem for some...

I've done the upper body workout on its own, the lower body on it's own, the workout as is, and the scrambled premix. The scrambled premix is especially nice, in that the leg work is broken up in a way that doesn't make me want to puke in a bucket after completing it :) If any one section seems too long, it's easy to simply stop when you've had enough. The workout goes pretty quickly. I tend to not do all the tricep or chest work, as I find those particularly high in the rep category.

Instructor Comments:
Cathe seems like her old self in this workout--sort of a return of the Intensity Series Cathe. She seems relaxed, well rested, not over tanned, calm but not boring... She seems like she's having fun, basically, and her instruction is good.
