Certified instructor description: Two workouts — fast-changing floor aero/tone intervals and high-rep body-sculpting that uses a step. “Boot Camp” features eight aero/tone cycles. Within each cycle, there are four one-minute intervals: floor aerobics, lower body, upper body and core (to optimize variety and work your muscles in distinct ways). The cardio is definitely tough, from power kicks to flying jumping jacks. The toning program, “Muscle Endurance,” uses a high step, plus barbells, to maximize the intensity of these classic routines. It alternates sets of upper and lower-body movements and ends with an all-ab section. Each high-rep series is a little different (e.g. you add a pulse, vary the range of motion, change the tempo). The cardio is regular floor aerobics; only the toning requires a high step, a medicine ball, barbells and 5 to 15 lb. dumbbells. DVD has “premixes” of short, pre-programmed segments (e.g. upper body only). ©2002. DVD has:
12 premixes (8 to 49 min. alternate workouts),
Chapter menus,
Narrow screen.

Cathe Friedrich's Boot Camp & Muscle Endurance |
    WOW what a great workout! |
| I have to say that I loved this workout for the variety and I couldn't believe how quick the hour flew by. I do video workouts four days a week so I need variety along with cardio segments with very little plyo for my one bad knee. Although this had a little bit of plyo, I was able to modify the moves to low impact and still keep my heart rate up. I would say Cathe is one of the best trainers out there and as usual has excellent cuing, motivating music and a great workout routine hitting every muscle group. This bootcamp DVD is my first video with the one minute segments: cardio, upper, lower, and core each for eight cycles and I am addicted!Now I have to try the second workout on the DVD that is sculpting only but I am sure it will be just as great. I am sore today which is a great sign and can't wait to do the workout again! - posted by Kelly on 12/6/2012 |

    WOW! |

    LOVE LOVE LOVE |
| This is a reorder for me, I wore the first DVD out! I workout 7 days a week, I do this dvd 2 to 3 days a week. I like that you have 3 different options so you don't get bored. I hate working out with weights but I know its a must and with this workout it's over before I know it. This is a great workout I highly recommend it. - posted by PAM on 1/5/2012 |

    More Cardio Needed |
| I liked the variety of pre-mixes available for the time-crunched and thought that Cathe's cueing, strength-training segments, and music choices were top-notch. However, I would have liked a longer warm-up and more challenging cardio options. After Cathe's warm-up, I still felt a bit cold and had to stop the tape to warm-up on my own. As for the cardio, I barely broke a sweat--even after the air jacks! - posted by April on 4/8/2011 |

    Intense Workout!!!!! |
| I loved the Bootcamp & Muscle endurance workout. Both workouts are tough and very intense but the results you get from the workout is incredible. - posted by Jacqueline on 3/14/2011 |

    Great Overall Workout |
| Bootcamp is a terrific workout that works every part of the body. The energy is high and it's challenging, but the moves are not "over the top" difficult as with some of Cathe's programs. No part is undoable for me, with the exception that I had to do the squat thrusts at a little slower tempo. I used hand weights (10 lbs each) as I don't yet own a barbell. My only criticism is that some of the transitions are too quick to be realistic between sections. Other than that, I loved the workout and will add to my regular rotation. Haven't tried Muscle Endurance yet, but it looks good from preliminary review. I also like the Combo bonus, having selected parts from both workouts -- looking forward to trying that next - after I get the barbell I just ordered online! - posted by Tina on 7/6/2010 |

    WOW...LOVED IT!! |
| For some reason this one was not as "hard" as some of her others..but STILL A GOOD workout,,and tough enough!!
The time goes by...at first I thought you move to different exercises, non-stop..but she does take a breath in between every little exercise. :) I just got this in the mail just yesterday, and popped it into my DVD player right away!
I haven't tried the muscle endurance part (yet)..because it is all weights and I do cardio every other day. So I can't wait to do that one.
My only small complaint is that she does more side ab/planks workouts more then lower body abs and crunches. But not an issue, because variety is key to keeping your body from boredom. ;) And because she does enough abs as it is anyways, it isn't a huge issue. Just wish there were more full on-ab work instead of so many planks and side lifts.
I have a 4lb medicine ball (I got it from the FIRM Trim and Fit ball workout)..and that one works just fine. :)
EVERY workout is basic..not hard to follow..so jump right in and get yourself moving because this workout goes by fast..and you will just love it!! You don't have to be too advanced to do this and you can always modify. I would rate this as intermediate/advanced. So no excuses! LOL..LOVE IT!! - posted by Raelene on 6/22/2010 |

    Buy it! |
| So far I have only done the Bootcamp since that is more my speed than 100% muscle toning. Very enjoyable, very programmable, many premixes too! Love that!!! She makes you work and takes a tiny pause so you can catch your breath in between some segments. I like that so I can get back out of the anaerobic zone down to aerobic. Very modifiable, I like hi/low to save my knees or easy on the knees hi impact and this is very doable, nothing too crazy and if it is I just modify a bit. I would pay what ever this just for this one video. One minute segments fly by so there is never any boredom! - posted by Janet on 6/14/2010 |

    Leave it to Cathe to get the job done!! |
| As always, Cathe delivers!! Both of these workouts are spectacular - you WILL feel worked!!! I find that I need to use heavier weights for some of the exercises than what they use in the video, but man, it is effective! You really just need to have the time to do it all - but you can also modify to fit the time that you have available. I just love Cathe! - posted by Stephanie on 4/16/2010 |

    A Bargain Great Workout! |
| I've been doing the LIVE Boot Camp and was looking for an at-home replacement. After reviewing everything in that category, I chose Cathe and one other. Her workouts are absolutely great! She is easy to follow and no nonsense, intense workout. The endurance/weight training segment is just as good. Every body part is max-d out including super leg work. As a marathon runner, I appreciate safe, effective leg and core work. Cathe delivers! I will buy more of her DVD's. - posted by Mary on 4/15/2010 |
