Certified instructor description: An ultra-challenging, truly “gym style” workout. This program is totally leg focused. You’ll start with subtle variations of classic standing routines (e.g. she targets different areas of your quads by varying your foot position). Then you’ll drop down for an extended floorwork series (e.g. pulsed adductor/abductor exercises using the band). Cathe’s clear cuing is “gym style” too. Her form is excellent and her personal strength and stamina is ultra-motivating. Requires barbells, a stability ball, a 6-foot Dyna-Band, several sets of dumbbells and a step (usually used as a weight bench). A high-step or Fanny Lifter is optional. The DVD “premix” feature lets you play shorter “timesaver” versions of the full workout. ©2005. DVD has: 2 premixes (33 to 49-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Narrow screen.

Cathe Friedrich's Gym Style - Legs

Love it
All of the gym style series are amazing.. I got this dvd for my legs.. I originally got the butts and guts.. however the butts and guts was just a bit too long.. this one is perfect... - posted by Kate on 6/22/2012
Fantastic
I started to do concentrated lower-body exercises once a week and Gym Style Legs has been a great addition to my rotation. I have only done the floor exercises chapter at this time but let me tell ya' - my glutes, inner, and outer thighs were feeling it all week. I enjoy working out with Cathe, she and her crew always motivate me to push myself just a little harder. - posted by Jennifer on 6/10/2012
Hits all the right areas
Another great video by Cathe. She never leaves a muscle untouched and always works it to fatigue. Love all her workouts. - posted by Terri on 5/21/2012
Cathe Rocks
I was a certified personal trainer for six years, I have been working out since I was seventeen years old - I am fifty now. I wanted something new and challenging. I had gotten bored. I tried a Cathe video and am hooked. She is motivating, serious about results, and puts together a comprehensive program that is very easy to follow. I love it!! - posted by Betty on 3/30/2012
Complete lower body workout
I am in my mid 60's and trust Cathe's videos. I have many of them but wanted to get back to some basics and this fits the bill for me. I needed to be more organized in my workouts and this has helped me a great deal, I seemed to be all over the place. This helped me settle down. I also have her other 2 videos of gym style workouts. This is great paced and still challenging depending on the weights used. - posted by Merry on 3/29/2012
THIS VIDEO ROCKS
I worked out at the gym for 9 months, then did p90x. I actually prefer Cathe's DVD's. Cathe really knows how to go for the burn. I like her style of motivation and her choice of music. I especially like the fact that she does it all the way through with you and doesn't stop to check others form. Her body shows that she knows what she is doing. When I grow up I want my body to be just like hers. lol. She is an inspiration. I also love her Butts and Guts DVD. I will be purchasing her upper body DVD's soon. Worth every penny. - posted by SHEILA on 11/18/2011
good old Cathe
if you want a no-nonsense, to-the-point leg work out, this is your work out. I own a lot of Cathe dvds and you can never go wrong with her. Legs will burn! - posted by Randi on 9/30/2011
Simply the best!
Cathe is second to none. She keeps raising the bar while others follow. This workout is the ultimate lower body shaper! Trust me, stick with this routine once to twice a week (along with aerobics) and you will get amazing results in your legs and backside. Please buy the band, even if you don't want to use any of the other equipment she uses. The band is genius for the legs and butt! One of the best, if not the best, lower body workout out there. - posted by Jazine on 4/28/2011
AWESOME leg workout
I've been using all three Gym Style workouts for about three months now, and I'm very pleased with the results. DO NOT let fear keep you from trying Cathe's workouts (something I did for a long time). I was intimidated by Cathe until I actually tried her workouts. Yes, her workouts are tough, but they can be easily adapted to your fitness level by using lighter weights. I started out doing the shorter standing pre-mix (no floorwork), then the entire standing section, and eventually the entire standing and floorwork sections. The workout is fun, and effective. Cathe is very supportive and encouraging throughout. Give this workout a try! You won't regret it. - posted by Laura on 12/31/2010
Wow, it's even better than Butts & Gutts!
I like Cathe's Butts & Guts very much and I thought nothing could be better, but Gym Style Legs IS even better, in my opinion. Unbelievable! Standing work on Gym Style Legs is easier for me than standing work on Butts & Guts (I struggle too much with those one-legged squats of Butts & Guts), and that's nice. And floorwork on Gym Style Legs, on the contrary, makes me work harder than floorwork on Butts & Guts, and that's nice, too! I love incorporating stability ball and resistance band into my lower body routine. Cathe's music choice for Gym Style Legs is also closer to my taste than music from Butts & Guts. Overall both workouts are GREAT, and they both will be in my rotation. - posted by Sandra on 10/28/2010

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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

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