Pure Strength Vol. 1: Strong Legs and Abs

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 1999

Categories: Lower Body Strength


This is really one of the best lower body and ab videos I have used. I think this is a major concern area for a lot of women and this video does a good job in targeting those problem spots. I find this tape very challenging, and what's more, I feel any level exerciser can benefit from this tape. I say this because all you have to do is adjust your amount of weights and/or the amount of repetitions that Cathe uses ( or suggests using). I bought this video when it first came out and loved it then. I was able to use the same poundage that Cathe used, and as a result, got an excellent, challenging workout. But since that time, I had another baby. I began working out again after about 3 wks. Since the main area I am trying to reshape (or get back into shape!) is my lower body/abs, I've been using this tape a lot. I started with a lot less weight than I was used to doing ( and less repetitions as well), but before long, I started to get back to my old heavier poundage. And I'll tell you, this tape has done wonders for my lower body. I really see a lot of improvement in just 2 months. After having a baby, dieting alone will not reshape your body to help you fit into your old clothes. You definitely need toning exercise to do that. This tape really targets all the major leg groups to the fullest. I would highly recommend this tape to anyone who is trying to reshape their bottom half. I do this tape about 2 -3x a week. I mix it with my FIRM total body, Cathe step, and sometimes (time permitting) will add on Cory Arms or the second half of Body Max arms. This tape is one I will always use to keep my legs toned. I love that it has everything: squats, lunges, leg pull ups, dips, plie squats, and floor toning. The abs are great, too. This is a perfect tape for post pregnancy and getting back into shape. You will see great results!
