I am reviewing this workout after doing it for the first time without pre-viewing.

I won't break it down because other reviewers have already done a great job at that.

I am an intermediate/low advanced exerciser. I love intensity but can't do a lot of jumping and plyos.

I enjoyed this workout. It reminded me a bit of the Bootcamp workout from Cathe's Intensity Series.

It is high intensity without the high impact. However, there are lots of squats and lunges. If someone has problems with these moves or iffy knees, they would be best to modify and not bend as deep.

The discs are used for jumping jacks and burpees and pushup variations. I found the discs did not work too well on the carpet so I just subbed in a lower impact jack.

Also, if someone doesn't want to use the discs for the spider pushups and mountain climbers, there would be no loss of intensity to do the moves without the discs.

I found this workout kept my heart rate up the entire time and I felt completely worked out after.

The time flew by. The music isn't as good as in previous series but it goes well with the workout and after awhile, I didn't even hear it.

I would rate this a solid 8 out of 10. I only take a couple of points off because I felt the music could have been better and I wish she would have added in a couple of different moves instead of just different lunge variations.

Over all, if you are a Cathe fan already, you will love it. If this is your first introduction to Cathe, I would suggest pre-viewing the workout once so you can determine if there are any exercises you may have to modify.

Instructor Comments:
Cathe was upbeat and fun. I liked the fact that she seemed winded in the same parts of the workout I was.
