Time graph for Cathe Friedrich's Butts & Guts

The toughest lower-body/abs program ever. It features a huge variety of exercises and equipment (if this doesn’t give you shapely legs and “six pack” abs, nothing will). Cathe uses every possible variation of proven body-sculpting moves (e.g. squats: regular, pulsing, one-legged, weighted). You’ll begin with standing routines focused on your glutes (large, hard-to-work muscles that Cathe manages to totally fatigue). Then it’s classic floorwork like lying inner leg lifts, hydrants and side leg lifts on a stability ball. Finally, on to the abwork that integrates hand and ankle weights to maximize intensity (for more abwork, there’s a bonus 15-minute stability ball ab program). Also has shorter “premixed” workouts. Some vocal music. Requires 3 to 15 lb. dumbbells, ankle weights, a barbell, stability ball, 6-foot resistance band and a 14" high step. ©2006. DVD has: 4 premixes (48 to 65-min. alternate workouts), Programmable chapters.

Cathe Friedrich's Butts & Guts
Best lower body workout in my collection
Well so far. I'm starting to collect Cathe dvds and each one I try I just love! This one was tuff but fun to do and the time flew by. Great workout! Definetly a keeper. I'll do this one often. - posted by Jess on 2/23/2008

Awesome total lower body workout
I was looking for a specific advanced lower body workout and this one is awesome. It is a bit long, but you can pick segments to do if you are shorter on time and/or combining this workout with cardio. - posted by Kendra on 2/23/2008

Butts and Guts
I actually thought of getting rid of this workout 'cause it is so long. However, it works all the right areas and you just know it's working so for it's effectiveness I keep it around. My biggest complaint is the time issue. I realize that they offer shorter premixes, but I always feel guilty like I'm cheating myself if I don't do the whole thing in it's entirty including the bonus workouts. I do think it is very effective though and also really gets the heartrate up as well so feel I'm getting fat burning in with it. Very effective! - posted by Loretta on 2/21/2008

SHOULD BE A STAFF FAVORITE!
What a fun workout that really kicks your butt! I have almost all of Cathe's DVDs and I cannot understand why this isn't listed as a staff favorite. I am an advanced exerciser who has been looking for a workout like this for a long time and it is finally here! This is a fun workout that goes by fast and you can really feel the burn. It works! You will see results! - posted by Dorothy on 2/3/2008

Tough!
OMG! I did this workout again today, and I still find it tough! The full 80 min workout is exhausting, just when you think Cathe is done, she adds on another exercise. The floor leg work and the abdominal section seem a little lengthy. Definitely feel a burn with this one, but the results are worth it. Cathe delivers a fun, challenging workout! - posted by Kacey on 1/19/2008

Great workout for glutes and thighs
This is no walk in the park for sure. Cathe knows exactly what she is doing. The video can be separated in to shorter segments so if you can't get through it all the way, or if you are short on time you can pick and choose which workouts you want to do. Make sure you have lots of room to move and do lunges - posted by Christina on 1/4/2008

Great Workout
love it! If you want a serious workout, then use Cathe Friedrich videos. My thighs now look like well defined legs instead of cottage chese legs/butts. - posted by Maxine on 12/19/2007

Challenging workout
This is a very tough workout, but highly effective. The ab workout is awesome! Cathe is a great motivator and inspiration. - posted by Mary on 11/19/2007

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.

Programmable chapters

At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.
