Time graph for Cathe Friedrich's Gym Style - Legs

An ultra-challenging, truly “gym style” workout. This program is totally leg focused. You’ll start with subtle variations of classic standing routines (e.g. she targets different areas of your quads by varying your foot position). Then you’ll drop down for an extended floorwork series (e.g. pulsed adductor/abductor exercises using the band). Cathe’s clear cuing is “gym style” too. Her form is excellent and her personal strength and stamina is ultra-motivating. Requires barbells, a stability ball, a 6-foot Dyna-Band, several sets of dumbbells and a step (usually used as a weight bench). A high-step or Fanny Lifter is optional. The DVD “premix” feature lets you play shorter “timesaver” versions of the full workout. ©2005. DVD has: 2 premixes (33 to 49-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus.

Cathe Friedrich's Gym Style - Legs
Can't go wrong with this one
This is a great workout for the legs! As a matter of fact, this is the best leg workout I have done. (I am intermediate.) Intense, works all of the muscles and is not in the least bit boring. What I particularly like about this workout is that it really worked my inner thighs. Not many leg workouts leave my inner thighs hurting the next day. Also, Cathe provides enough rest/stretching intervals that I wasn't rushed to set up for the next exercise. - posted by Amanda on 7/7/2008

Great workout!
I love Cathe's videos and I really enjoy this leg workout. Wow, she pushes in this workout. The dyna-band is awesome and provides a burn like I never felt. It is worth getting the ball and wow, the ball exercises are tough! Fantastic workout!! - posted by KB on 5/27/2008

Holy cr*p!
Wow! my calves are still hurting and I did this video 4 days ago. Ouch! She kills the calves in this one. I love this video. Perfect cueing and great innovative moves/exercises. This will never get easy, but it should get easier. I have Butts & Guts and Pyramid Lower body as well --- love them all. They all hit similar muscles but in different ways which is great. Cathe is the best --- this will get my legs in great shape for the summer. Woohoo! - posted by AG on 5/26/2008

Killer Leg Workout
I think this is Cathe's toughest leg workout. I can get through Legs and Glutes and Butts and Guts just fine, but GS Legs never gets easier. Cathe hits every part of the legs, provides informative instruction, and makes it fun. Be prepared for DOMS, though--no matter what I do to minimize the soreness, my legs feel like two blocks of concrete the day after doing this one. - posted by Em on 1/5/2008

Great
Can never say enough about Cathe. She is great and knows how to make you burn. This will work your legs really good and highly recommend this one. - posted by Laci on 10/9/2007

Great all round leg and butt workout - sore for days!
I love this workout - Cathe hits every muscle in your legs (and gets some glute work in too), some muscles which other workouts don't target. The first time I did this DVD, my calf muscles were sore for days afterwards, and I'm an advanced exerciser! She is the perfect instructor in the Gym Style series - very appealing, gently encouraging and motivating without cutting you any slack, great at cuing and informative, giving useful pointers on form throughout. Wonderful. - posted by Julie on 8/5/2007

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Calf Muscle Soreness!
I recently lost my Legs and Glutes tape to an angry VCR and was dissappointed that this particular workout wasn't available on it's own any longer. So I looked for a substitute and found it with this tape. I love the use of the resistance band and ball. I actually like this workout better than Legs and Glutes. Still sore from 2 days ago! Way to go Cathe! - posted by Vanessa on 3/11/2007

LEG BLASTER!!!!!!!
Cathe takes leg workouts to a new high or should I say to a new level of sore. She hits every muscle in the leg and then does it a couple more times. This tape is worth the money. - posted by shawna on 11/6/2006

I hate doing Legs, but her workout is the BEST
I absolutely hate leg day. So the thought of doing over 1 hour of legs isnt something that makes me happy, but hey, it's gotta be done. Cathe makes it pretty ok. (I cant say fun, cuz I still hate leg day so saying pretty OK is a very huge compliment for me). She has a lot of variety in her workouts and really knows how to fatigue the muscle and get in there to get the definition you want. You finish feeling like you need a wheelchair. WARNING This is geared for those who actually want to build a body and pack on some muscle. That little band is killer. I'm used to lifting heavy at the gym, and I barely go to the gym anymore thanks to her gym style series. For ADVANCED users. Even my boyfriend with a frame like a linebacker is very much challenged. The cool thing is that if you dont feel like doing that long hour you can opt for 2 shorter versions of her workout. One is 39 min and the other is 49 min. I love this feature. - posted by Jobita S on 8/17/2005

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
