The bands really are great quality - I use them for a lot of workouts.
I may be in the minority, but I also liked both of the workouts. Are they my favorite Cathe? No. But I enjoy both and have started using premixes from both as "finishers" to other workouts. I also think they make great travel workouts. I purchased the Cathe Live workout that uses the boss bands during the black friday sale (I also see she has made a couple more since then (which I will likely purchase during next year's sale
). This is a good workout that I enjoy as well. The Live workout definitely flows better, probably because they all have to take on/off the bands in real time.
