I am an advanced exerciser and a huge fan of Cathe's strength workouts. I wasn't sure if I would like this workout since I rarely do Power Hour. However, I love Muscle Endurance. I can't quite explain it. There is a lot of leg work (each of the three segments of this workout starts with two sets of leg presses), which I generally dislike, but for some reason ME brings out my masochistic side. My favorite move is the glute raise, a one legged squat where your back leg is extended and you put your weight on your front leg, which starts at a 90 degree angle. The static lunge segment is also really tough, but I've seen some improvement in my endurance - I can actually get through this segment now without putting down my barbell! There were also some unique upper body moves, like the bent over row combined with a clean and press (okay, that's a compound move) and the standing rotation press.

The ab/core work at the end is super tough but very creative. I like that Cathe uses Pilates influenced moves but adapts them to her own unique style.

ME manages to be fun while leaving your muscles completely fried. Another great Cathe strength workout!

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is in top form in this series! I like it when she jokes around about how hard the exercise is, but she always keeps going.
