Cathe Friedrich XTrain Series Tabatacise Workout DVD - Includes 5 Short HiiT Tabata Workouts For Women and Men- Use For Short HIIT Workouts, Fat Burning, Weight Loss, and Cardio

I love this exercise DVD. You can do individual workouts or they have put some together. 40 min with Cathe gives me a better workout than some hour long ones I have The best thing is you only need a step in this one

At great workout

I go to the gym when I can, but when I can't this is a great exercise video to work out to. My 21 year old has done it with me and it was difficult for the both of us to do, but when you are challenged you are making progress. Any bit of the video you do is a workout and the more of it I do, the further I progress through the program. I'm still a novice, but I am always trying to better myself and move to the next level. May be a bit difficult for someone just starting to exercise, but will be a good one to have on hand for when your strength and endurance improve. We do Tabata at the gym and it is a hard, but rewarding workout.

I am really happy I got this DVD. I love tabatacise cardio and have been a fan of Amy DIxon's two Breathless Body workouts as well as Cathe Friedrich's other tabatacise like dvd. I really liked how this one has the short high intensity intervals than the step section for the recovery. The options are nice also. I like to do the 5 tabatacise followed by the abs section for a good 55 minute workout.I have not yet tried the back section. I did go to it today just to see what it was like. I was disappointed that it looked like very heavy weight use and I don't have weights over 15 pounds at home. So I am not sure I will be able to make a lot of use out of this section. Otherwise, I think the workout is fantastic and will make good use of it.

I am an intermediate-advanced exerciser and have accumulated quite a collection of Cathe's DVDs; I do two back-to-back Cathe workouts nearly every day of the week. This tabata DVD is wonderful. I absolutely love the way Cathe has set up her tabata intervals; time flies with this workout, and I don't find myself bored as I do sometimes with Amy Dixon's Breathless Body (which I do once a week...don't get me wrong, that is an awesome 5-star workout too - it is just very repetitive and I find myself mentally bored even though I am sweating buckets!). I also really love the bonus workouts in this Tabatacise DVD; I find the Core #2 to be tough but fun. The premixes give you a lot of options so you can fit the workout into your day. You can't go wrong with any of Cathe's DVDs (unless you are an absolute newbie to exercise, since she is tough!), and this one is a good one to add to your rotation.

Great cardio workout. My legs definitely feel the burn also. Love that I can do just two segments if I just need a quick workout or I can do all segments if I want a longer workout. I normally do HIIT workouts, but not tabata. This is my first foray into tabata. It's 20 seconds of intense work, 10 seconds of rest- repeat the entire segment. Great workout but I still prefer HIIT where my heart recovers more between segments. That doesn't mean though that this workout isn't on my regular workout rotation list! Not as intense as something like Insanity, but less harsh on the knees and will definitely get your heart rate up- more so if you add in weighted gloves or ankle weights.

I am a regular of P90X. I wanted something different. Consider myself to be "fit". I researched and read reviews then decided to go with Cathe. I have never done or even heard of Tataba. It is truly a pulse raising, sweat dripping, work out! Yes for this 53 yr old It took a couple of times to get some of the steps down smoothly BUT it is worth it. I love this work out. I love Cathe! I wish today that I had learned of her years ago. This is exactly what I was needing. I still love Tony Horton and P90X but this has given my muscles a new jump. I am only in my 2nd week but I can feel that I will be seeing changes very soon! I am very pleased I made the purchase.

Great workout using exercises that allow me to increase resistance (on my own with weights, depth of squats, height of jumps, etc.) as they become easier for me to do. I dislike the extra time given twice for the 10-second cool down -- it goes against what I was taught about the Tabata method of exercise. I love Cathe, but the quality of the manufacture of her DVD's is questionable. I own five of them and four out of five have some type of freezing or skipping problem. And, no, it's not my player -- it happens on every player I've ever tried them on.
