Cathe Friedrich's Boot Camp & Muscle Endurance |
 Great Total Body Workout |
| I love this video. I always get a great burn with this workout. I have seen great increases in my muscle endurance, as well as shape. I have also tried Amy Bento's All Pump Extreme, and while it is good, Cathe is the best. - posted by Rhonda on 6/30/2008 |

| Great workout |
| I am a Cathe fan and I really like this video. I've done both workouts and the muscle endurance workout is tough. I wasn't able to finish the first time through. Definitely a keeper! - posted by Jill on 5/7/2008 |

| Wow |
| No rest for the weary here. I am intermediate exerciser, and have had this tape for a while. But have done only a few times in the past because I found it way too hard. This time I really focused on modifying all of the exercises- Cathe uses some heavy weights-but this tape CAN be done!! I either used the Firm body bar instead of the barbells, or 3 lbs where she used 8 + lbs. (and skipped 1/2 the terminators, but I'll get there.) This tape is probably the most motivating ones to do from time to time as I bet you can really see progress each time you do it if you are a dedicated exerciser. - posted by Christine on 5/3/2008 |

| Ditto, ditto |
| This is one of the best exercise DVD's that I have purchased! I'm 58 years old and I can do both programs. Now, don't let that make you think they are not challenging just because a 58 year old can do them! I always modify if I need to. There a couple of the cardio segments in boot camp that I modify. I can't do the squat/ thrusts so I simplify those. If I were to purchase just one strength DVD, this would be it. I look forward to the days when these are in my rotation. There is zero boredom factor and the time goes fast. - posted by Bonnie on 4/6/2008 |

| Wonderful Workouts!!!! |
| I have done both workouts and both of them give great results! I like the Bootcamp video because I get the best of both worlds, weights AND cardio. The muscle endurance video is awesome because it just focuses on weights and delivers a total body workout. I am simply amazed at Cathe's workouts. Who needs a gym when I can get an awesome workout, all muscles targeted all in the privacy in my own home. Cathe is extremely motivating, funny, possesses great knowledge about form and technique. This is another winner for me! - posted by KW on 3/31/2008 |

| Bonus combo rocks |
| Excellent workout who needs a gym when you have cathe. The bonus workout burns more calories than bootcamp. Cathe please make a bootcampII. - posted by Delores on 3/13/2008 |

| Great workouts! |
| Boot camp is really challenging, but fun. This is an allover body workout! Each interval segment has 4 parts: an upper and lower body resistance type workout either with weights or your own body weight, an aerobic part, and core work. There are 8 cycles with these 4 body components for a total body workout. What I like about this workout is, just when you think you can't go any longer...you are done with that and moving on to something else. As Cathe says "You can do anything for a minute!" Muscle endurance is also very challenging, with a great abdominal workout at the end also. I always know I have had a good workout when I do muscle endurance...it is tough!I highly recommend these workouts as part of anyones home gym system. Cathe's DVDs have added bonuses with premixes from the workouts available on the DVD also. You get alot of return for your money in variety, exercise options, and fitness when you workout with Cathe. I would call myself a fit, advanced workout person, who happens to be over 50. Boot camp and muscle endurance are for the medium to advanced level of fitness, but a beginner can make adjustments and work up to the challenge. You have to start somewhere. Cathe is very easy to follow with great instruction on form. She is an inspiration. - posted by Karen on 2/29/2008 |

| Boot Camp and Muscle Endurance |
| I can't be without this DVD! Boot Camp is my favorite cause you get an advanced total body workout in just one hour. Muscle Endurance really works you hard too! I LOVE circuit workouts that include warm up, cardio, lower body toning, upper body toning, core toning, and stretching. It if is an hour or less that is always a plus! This is a great DVD and I love that the choreography is simple. Really gets your heart pumping and you'll feel sore the next day. Cathe really knows her stuff and is hard to beat! - posted by Loretta on 2/21/2008 |

| Fantastic Workout! |
| I have to admit, I have been scared to try Cathe's workouts. I consider myself an advanced exerciser who has worked out with The Firm for years and recently started working out with Jari Love and Amy Bento. I didn't know if I was quite up for a Cathe workout but I am so glad that I gave it a try! This is such a fantastic workout and while I definitely found it challenging I was able to make it through the entire workout. I know as I continue to work out with this video as well as Cathe's Muscle Max I will continue to see major improvements in my fitness level. Cathe is a genius! - posted by Pam on 2/18/2008 |

| WOW!! |
| I have been doing cardio for years and years. I consider myself advanced in the cardio department. WOW...this is an exercise video like none other I have ever done. It really gets my heart pumping. This video has me panting. Cathe's energy and encouragement is fantastic and what I need to keep going. I do not own a barbell so heavy dumbbells work just fine, nor do I have a medicine ball. Again a dumbbell works out well. Word of caution, this video is not for a beginner. I really love this work out. - posted by AS on 1/27/2008 |
