Cathe Friedrich's Muscle Max |
 Wow, what a work-out! |
| This was my first Cathe work-out. I have a ton of Firm work-outs, but wanted a more intense muscle-toning work-out. Boy, did this deliver! It has been a long time since I worked up a sweat doing body sculpting! My muscles were shaking (this is a good thing!) I used relatively light weights since this was my first Cathe work-out, but she was very easy to follow; really no learning curve at all. I am really looking forward to increasing my weights and will definitely order more Cathe dvd's. - posted by Paula on 9/30/2009 |

 Love the heavy weights! |
| Just got this video last night and my expectations were extremely high. My first impressions are that this is a great weighted workout - love using heavy weights and mixing up the reps and speed. The downsides for me: I wish there was a little more lower body - there were really only 4 lower body exercises which consisted of squats and lunges. Don't get me wrong - they're killer! But I think a few more lower body exercises would nicely round out this video. Also, I found there were a lot of breaks throughout the workout as Cathe adjusted the weights on the body bar. It seems to alternate between 30 and 40 lbs very frequently. It would have been more effective, I think, to do all of the 30 lbs exercises and then all of the 40 lbs exercises to avoid all the breaks in between. I find that it takes away from the intensity when there's too much resting. Other than that, really enjoyed this workout! - posted by Stephanie on 8/21/2009 |

| My current favorite |
| I alternate between Cathe & Jari Love work-outs, with a little Gin Miller thrown in. This has to be my FAVORITE! It covers all muscle groups in one session with a variety of moves. You will not get bored here! This use of the resistance band is a nice addition, and I was glad to do without the ball, which I've never particularly enjoyed using! - posted by Karen on 7/23/2009 |

| Another great one from Cathe |
| I have several of Cathe's aerobic workouts in my library, but this is the first Cathe strength training DVD in my collection. Like her aerobic workouts, this one is tough, well-structured, perfectly cued and Cathe shows flawless form. There weren't any exercises in the DVD that I'm unfamiliar with, but Cathe makes things super-challenging with all the tempo variations and several supersets, and the use of the band AFTER using weights totally fatigued my muscles. I've only just added this one into my fitness rotation, but I know it will keep my muscles and my brain challenged, and keep me motivated. Highly recommended. - posted by Nicole on 7/20/2009 |

| Great Overall Workout...Loved the Shorter Workout Options too |
| I have done this workout a few hundred times. Yesterday, I did the upper body workout option only. I love Cathe but sometimes her workouts are a little unrealistic with regard to time. I got a solid upper workout in about 40 minutes. The use of the band really puts this one above and beyond the rest. As always, it's a challenge but well worth it. - posted by Diane on 4/26/2009 |

| My favorite whole body strength workout |
| This was my first Cathe DVD and is simply the perfect whole body strength workout. LOVE it! I do this once a week and always look forward to it and have gotten great results. It is challenging and fun and the timesaver premix is great. The Ab segment is also a winner by itself. - posted by Sandra on 3/27/2009 |

| Just like taking a body pump class at the gym!! |
| I used to take classes at the gym about 3 times a week but I have no time to go anymore. I did this workout at home yesterday and I am so sore today, it is just as good (if not better) as going to the gym. It is very easy to follow with a lot of basic move's and you can increase or decrease the weights to suit your fitness level. I used half the weight as Cathe uses and I still got a great workout. I saw results right away, and I can feel it in my arms & legs today. This is my first Cathe video and I will start buying her video's from now on. The time just flew by when I did this workout. You will feel the burn and love the results! - posted by Erin on 11/1/2008 |

| A Keeper |
| I like this one as much as Muscle Endurance. I also thought they would be too similar, and they are in some respects, but there are some different moves using the band. With Cathe there is always repetition in her workouts. But, she does give a consistent tough workout. The ab work was good too. She is my favorite for core work! I am not fond of the rocket shoots so I substituted. Other than that, I have no complaints. - posted by Cam on 7/24/2008 |
