Cathe Friedrich's Boot Camp plus Muscle Endurance DVD

Two workouts — fast-changing floor aero/tone intervals and high-rep body-sculpting that uses a step. “Boot Camp” features eight aero/tone cycles. Within each cycle, there are four one-minute intervals: floor aerobics, lower body, upper body and core (to optimize variety and work your muscles in distinct ways). The cardio is definitely tough, from power kicks to flying jumping jacks. The toning program, “Muscle Endurance,” uses a high step, plus barbells, to maximize the intensity of these classic routines. It alternates sets of upper and lower-body movements and ends with an all-ab section. Each high-rep series is a little different (e.g. you add a pulse, vary the range of motion, change the tempo).

The cardio is regular floor aerobics; only the toning requires a high step, a medicine ball, barbells and 5 to 15 lb. dumbbells. DVD has “premixes” of short, per-programmed segments (e.g. upper body only).

Boot Camp:
Hang on to your hats because there is literally not a minute to waste in this head to toe no-nonsense workout. With every 60 seconds that tick by, you’ll be jumping, pumping, pushing, and crunching your way to a fitter you. You’ll experience eight fitness cycles that involve cardio activity, upper and lower body strength work, and core conditioning. This action packed workout will test your physical stamina and push you to a new level of fitness. Take on the challenge!

Muscle Endurance:

This high rep, total body conditioning workout not only increases functional fitness gains, but also promotes nicely shaped and defined muscles. You’ll experience maximum muscular endurance gains along with strength gains as you challenge each of the major muscle groups through a wide variety of exercises. Do this workout one to three times per week and you’ll soon enjoy the benefits of improved posture, increased bone density, and an overall healthy, happier you.

DVD lets you design you own workout. This dual layered DVD contains two Cathe Friedrich advanced step workouts. Each of the workouts has been chaptered so you can easily ‘mix & match’ all the sections from the two different exercise programs.
