Hardcore: High Step Challenge

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 2005

Categories: Total Body Workouts


This workout really went by fast. Cathe describes it as a stamina building workout, and I would have to agree. The circuits move very quickly, so it is a good idea to have all your equipment handy when you start to avoid have to pause the workout before each new exercise. I really enjoyed the cardio bursts, as well as the way the exercises were split up. Doing multiple exercises for the same body part over different circuits worked well for me, as it gave me a chance to rest a particular muscle before using it again. The workout really did just fly by, and did not feel as though it was actually 68 minutes. I would almost say I was having fun if I hadn't been working so hard. By the time I finished, I was drenched with sweat, but I had a big smile on my face. I would give this video an A, and have to say I enjoyed it as much as Bootcamp (another favorite of mine!).

Instructor Comments:
Cathe always has superb form with weights, and provides plenty of form pointers. I also appreciate her motivating chatter (even a little whooping now and then) here and there, although I know that this can and does annoy some vfers.
