Cathe Friedrich's Lower Body Blast DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was on the fence about getting this workout since I already have all of Cathe's weight workouts, including all of her leg workouts. Since Gym Style Legs and Butts & Guts are so effective, I wasn't sure if this would anything new to my repertoire, but I just did it for the first time, and am really glad I got it!
It has a nice mix of old and new moves, and what makes it especially unique is that Cathe inserts "cardio bursts" between some of the segments to shoot your heart rate up. I've always felt like some of her workouts (especially the "Leg Blast Premix" on Butts & Guts) have a good cardio factor, but this one is specifically designed to add in cardio.
The standing section runs about 44 minutes long and includes things like deadlifts, squats, and lunges. Many of the moves don't even require weights, but you're doing so many reps that your legs are just fried. After that, there is about 10 minutes of floor work that is similar to the High and Tight workout from Beachbody's Brazil Butt Lift series, but with new variations that I hadn't seen before.
The bonus leg conditioning segment was a really nice surprise in that it uses the Altus Athletic Altus Turbo Tower as a ballet barre to do a legs segment that is similar to Physique 57 and Core Fusion workouts. This is the first time Cathe has done this type of segment on any of her workouts, and it was great.
It also has five premixes:
1. Timesaver - No Floorwork - 49.31
2. Standing + Leg Conditiong Drills - 66.31
3. Standing +Floorwork + Leg Conditiong Drills - 76.38
4. Standing +Floorwork (No Cardio Burst)- 56.22
5. Standing + Leg Conditiong Drills (No Cardio Burst) - 63.15
As with any of Cathe's workouts, you do need a lot of equipment: a barbell, dumbbells in various sizes, a sliding disk (or paper plate), a high step, and a Turbo Tower or chair to do the bonus leg conditioning drills.
Do you need this workout if you have Cathe's other leg workouts? Probably not, but it's a nice addition and, if you're like me and like variety, it will be a nice addition to your workout library!
