Well, what can I say, Cathe has done it again. She has created a new, unique and challenging workout that is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I remember when Cathe was looking for suggestions on her website before creating the new videos as to what her audience would want the most and I gave my vote for a circuit video with 3 different forms of cardio!!! It is almost like she created a custom made video for me. It is exactly what I wanted.

The warm up is about 8 minutes and includes some light stretching. Than for the next 45 minutes Cathe performs her 6 cardio circuits. The cardio parts are about 5 minutes a piece and she moves into 2 minutes of strength work for each cardio section. She keeps the weight on the lighter side so you can do more reps and keep the heart rate up but still build muscular endurance. The first and second circuits start with hi-lo, the third and fourth circuits are kickboxing (one off the step, one on), the last two circuits are high intensity step.v The hi-lo consists of a lot of jumping. Moves include pendulums, ponies, jumping jacks and power jumps. These get my heart rate up quite nicely. The kickbox sections include jabs, speed bags and kicks. The step sections are classic cathe. Power 7's, different variations on a V step and really fun plunge lunges. Also, mostly high intensity.

For the strength parts of the circuit, Cathe does double duty moves. For example squats with shoulder presses, static lunges with tricep french presses, lunges with side lateral and front raises, etc. For upper body she provides 2 exercises each for shoulders, biceps and triceps.

After the last circuit she adds on few extra minutes of strength work for back (one arm rows), chest (push ups) and abs (plank moves) to give a more complete workout. This also serves as a sort of cool down. She moves right into a really relaxing and much needed stretch session.

I highly recommend this workout to an advanced exerciser. It is tough but, not so killer where you dread doing it. It is also great for a time restricted schedule. In exactly 1 hour, you can get strength, cardio and stretching done without feeling as though you skimped on any of them. I wish there were more videos out there like this one. I would definately love to see Cathe give us a few more circuits like this one. I LOVE IT.

Cathe is great. She looks great and I can always rely on her to give me a great workout. As soon as she comes out with a new group of videos, I am already waiting for the next ones. She is creative, intelligent and very professional.
