Cathe Friedrich's AfterBurn DVD

A genuinely challenging program that combines gliding-disc cardio with multi-muscle body-sculpting. No jumps or hops, this workout burns fat and sculpts your body without stressing your knees or back. The aerobic segments are tough — Cathe blends fast-paced, low-to-the-ground movements with lots of repetition (while utilizing the gliding discs to maximize the range of motion). The toning segments feature a balanced mix of compound exercises; they work your body in all three planes: front, back and side-to-side (many of these moves use the discs too). Cathe also includes some innovative exercises like "air squats" and "Dixie cup lunges."

AfterBurn. The name alone says it all - so get ready to turn up the heat and send your metabolism into overdrive with this advance, low-impact workout!

In AfterBurn you’ll use your own bodyweight plus dumbbells for metabolic intervals that alternate with low-impact, high-intensity cardio for the ultimate fat burning workout. AfterBurn is unlike any other low-impact workout you’ve experienced. It utilizes both low-impact HiiT cardio and metabolic weight training in the same workout – delivering maximum results in the least amount of time!

The main advantage to this type of workout is that the increase in your body’s metabolism continues long after your exercise session has ended, not just during it. This effect is known as the ‘after burn’ – hence the name of this amazing fat-blasting workout!
