I love to exercise to FitTv Cathe Friedrich!! She is awesome. We have Direct TV, its on channel 261. Just to name a few, her segments are under CardioBlast , Core Max, or Stretch Max. I have been working out with her now for a couple of weeks. Every time...and I mean every time I do one of her workouts I am in pain (good pain) the next morning if not before the end of the night. She pushes you to the max. I did her Kick, Punch, Crunch cardio workout and thought I was going to vomit when I was done.
I am more into weightlifting so I tend to do those the most. Each segment is broken down into sections of the body (i.e. biceps & triceps , legs & glutes, Upper Body Pyramid, Lower Body Pyramid etc...) or all over Muscle Endurance. Her cardio ones are Step Blast step aerobics or kickboxing. Love them!!!
Since it is on TV you do have commercials, but since I have DVR, I am able to fast forward and get a continuous 50min workout. Her Core Max segments are 30 min. They are different stomach and core muscle exercises using the balls. I will do one hour of her weightlifting and mix it in with a core segment or a cardio segment. I try to do about 1 1/2 hours a day. I am so obsessed with it I will get up at 5:30am (which I hate) & do one in the morning and one at night sometimes. My front living room has turned into a weightlifting/step aerobics room.
To do her routines you will need a stability ball, 8lb exercise ball, 3lb-25lb dumbbells, barbells to put on 10lb-40lbs, a step, & stretch bands. You can actually go to her website and get her videos. Since I get it for free with my satellite, I will stick with that for now. However, if you do not get FitTv and want to get into a great workout routine, you should definitely check out her website! http://cathe.com/ or check out her blog in "my links to check out" section.
If your thinking about joining the gym, don't waste your money!! Get on FitTv...she will kick your butt!!! Its like I have my own personal trainer at home. I talk about it all the time and can't get enough of it. She is an inspiration! And has inspired me to work even harder. I am getting up at 5:30am everyday for crying out loud!
Other workouts on FitTv I like are All Star Workouts Yoga Zen with Sara Ivanhoe, any of Gilad's Bodies in Motion (ex.Cardio Kickboxing, Chest Triceps, Abs), Total Body Sculpt with Gilad
