Certified instructor description: A super-diverse workout that uses dumbbells, gliding discs, tubing, bands and a step. The variety challenges your muscles in multiple dimensions while maximizing overall interest. The step aerobics is low impact with lots of repeaters, lunges and air squats. The toning section includes high-bench exercises for the legs; it uses dumbbells and tubing for additional resistance. Then it's time to break out the gliding discs for core strengthening, balance work and upper-body toning. The next section does “firewalkers” and one-arm rows with the band. All the strength routines intermix both compound and isolation exercises. Cathe's moves are easy to follow, but tough — they're designed to get results. Requires a step bench, gliding discs, resistance tubing, a challenge band and two sets of dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: 4 premixes (22 to 46 min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Cathe Friedrich's Athletic Training
Cathe is Queen!
Still the best! Cathe never disappoints. Efficient instruction, quick transitions and new moves always ensure a great workout! - posted by Sara on 5/15/2012

Excellent
This is a fabulous workout! Definitely advanced and happily LOW impact. You will get a great workout with lots of heart pumping moves. Cathe is a professional you this does not disappoint. Another one of Cathe's well put together classes. She is a master at hitting all the body parts and keeping your heart elevated and gentle on the knees. - posted by Monica on 5/5/2012

Great workout!
I workout regularly at home and Cathe is one of my all-time favorites. This workout is pretty tough and I was only able to get through half of it the first time. I've steadily progressed and love the challenge. I really felt it in the lower half! The music is very good and her cues are always spot-on. - posted by Kelly on 3/30/2012

Total Body Workout
Excellent workout. Great for when I'm in the mood for a little bit of everything. Works up a sweat and easy to follow. - posted by Dee on 3/27/2012

serious workout!!
Very challenging and incorporates an arsenal of equipment! The pace was brisk, but with enough time to swap out dumbbells, tubing etc and not miss any of the workout. This one is truly low impact but the intensity is right up there. The cueing is excellent and modifications are presented for many of the exercises. Kept my heart rate up and challenged all body parts vigorously! I'm really glad I decided to try this and I can see it becoming a go to DVD. - posted by sandra on 3/22/2012

Great workout!
This is a great workout. Really felt it and actually found myself laughing through out because it is just so hard and can't believe she can come up with some of the routines that she does. Really feel it in my legs/glutes. - posted by Mac on 3/22/2012

Fantastic, fun workout!
I love Athletic Training! It's really fun and a great workout. I have no idea why this is rated intermediate/advanced, because I'm an advanced exerciser and I find it challenging. Like other reviewers, I was worried I'd only get a little cardio during the step portion, but my heart rate stayed elevated throughout. Also, I was so glad the step was so straight forward...I'm not big on fancy choreography. I'm so glad I have this workout! - posted by Pam on 3/21/2012

Great Video!!
As a personal trainer I look forward to Cathe's videos to get some great ideas that can be used with my clients. This one doesn't disappoint! It's fun, but challenging. You will definitely like this one!! - posted by Lisa on 3/15/2012

Cathe delivers again!
I am a big fan of Cathe's workouts. This is the first low impact workout I have tried and I was impressed how challenging this was despite the lack of jumping around. This is easy to follow yet will leave you exhausted. I have been a runner for 30 years and consider myself in good shape and I was surprised how quickly winded I became on this tape. Anyone looking for an excellent all over workout without the joint jostling, try this! - posted by Susan on 3/15/2012

Good workout!
This is a great workout! Not a whole lot of stepping, but your heart rate continues to rise during the weight lifting. Cathe doesn't leave a muscle behind on this one. I loved it! - posted by Royce on 3/8/2012

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Step aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The step aerobics segments involve stepping up and down on a platform. The moves range from simple stepping to more choreographed exercises. These segments require a step bench platform. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
